Alright, Rusty here. Let's size up the next couple of weeks.
I’m not gonna sugarcoat it – it's a pretty flat and messy stretch ahead. For the first week and more, we're stuck with tiny, gutless surf and winds that are just wrong. The data shows a lot of "poor surf conditions," and honestly, it’ll be a fight to find anything decent. There are big dry spells in the first week where you’re better off staying home. The water’s a balmy 75°, which is a solid 7° above normal for this time of year – that's a huge anomaly, feels like a hot tub.
Our only real option on the menu is Ilbaritz - Bora Bora, a reef break that's fairly consistent and open to the west. The first time I’d even suggest looking at the ocean is the morning of Thursday, July 10th. It’s flat-out glassy with a tiny puff of wind from the northwest and a 2ft swell. The wave energy is weak (70), but with those mirror-like conditions, you might scratch into a few little peelers if you're patient.
The one real highlight, the only one that feels like a proper surf window, is the morning of Saturday, July 12th. The swell is still a small 3ft from the northwest, but the wind turns glassy from the southeast. The combined energy bumps up into the moderate range (113), and that smooth surface will make for some clean, fun little waves on the reef. For the size on offer, this is our best bet.
Way out in the second week, on Sunday, July 20th, there’s a promising morning with 4ft of northwest swell and glassy winds again. The energy is solid at 164, but it’s a long way off and you know how those long-range calls can be.
For most of the rest of the time, the onshore winds and chop make it look more like a kiteboarder’s playground than a surfer’s. Stay patient.
Rusty.
