Alright folks, Rusty here with the local surf picture.

Only one break on the menu: Ilbaritz - Bora Bora. It’s a reef setup, open to west swells. The energy’s on the weak side all through the forecast, so don’t expect any monsters. Most days are pretty meh, with small surf and wind that’s not helping. The one true standout is on Sunday, July 19th.

Kicking off Sunday, July 5th: 0.5m of NW swell, 11-second period (combined energy 137). The morning has a light NE cross-off breeze – clean enough for a fun session on the small stuff. Afternoon gets a NNW crosswind and goes ugly.

Monday, July 6th: 0.6m from the NW, period down to 9 seconds. Morning is clean with east offshore wind. Afternoon gets a stronger NE cross-off, still clean but less energy (59).

Tuesday, July 7th, is a total loss. Swell shrinks, wind goes onshore.

From Wednesday, July 8th, to Saturday, July 12th, it’s a dry spell. Swell is tiny or weak, and the wind is mostly cross-onshore or onshore. The morning of Friday, July 10th, offers a bright spot: glassy conditions with 0.6m waves – clean but small.

Sunday, July 12th, morning is glassy again with 0.7m NW swell and a period of 10 seconds, energy hitting 119. Clean and rideable.

The next week is quiet until we reach the real highlight.

Saturday, July 18th, morning: 0.8m from the NW with a 10-second period, cross-off wind from the ENE, energy at 115. Clean, small, and fun.

The standout: Sunday, July 19th, morning. Dead calm, glassy. Swell is 0.6m from the NW with an 11-second period, but the combined energy reads 227 – that’s getting into good territory. The reef will be clean with lined-up waves. This is your session. Crowds are often a thing here, so don’t be surprised if it’s busy. Water temp is about normal for the season.

That afternoon, the swell jumps to 1.7m from the WNW, but onshore wind blows it out, energy spiking to 652. That’s likely a messy, choppy mess – better for kite surfing.

Monday, July 20th, morning: 1.4m from the NW, 9-second period, cross-off north wind, energy at 330. Clean and bigger, but not as good as that Sunday glass-off.

So, the first week and a half is mostly small and average. The one to lock in is Sunday, July 19th, morning at Ilbaritz - Bora Bora. Glassy, clean, with proper energy. Don’t miss it.

Rusty.

Information about the Ilbaritz - Bora Bora Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for Ilbaritz - Bora Bora provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Ilbaritz - Bora Bora can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Ilbaritz - Bora Bora surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period.

Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).

Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Ilbaritz - Bora Bora may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
