G’day, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s happening at Ilbaritz - Bora Bora.
Honestly, the next couple of weeks are pretty flat. The only real chance to get wet is on Monday morning, 13 July, and even that’s not cranking.
We’ve got a 4ft swell from the WNW, with a short period of 7 seconds and moderate wave energy (134). The wind is glassy, calm at 3 mph from the WNW, so it’ll be clean. But it’s a short-period, average swell. The water is way warmer than normal – a massive 5°F anomaly above the long-term average, so it’s very unusual for this time of year. That Monday morning session is the only one worth your time.
After that, it’s a desert. From Monday afternoon all the way through to Saturday, 26 July, the surf is poor. Swell heights barely reach 3ft, with periods in the 4 to 8-second range, and the wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, making it choppy. There’s a tiny window on Saturday morning, 25 July, with a clean 1ft NW groundswell (10-second period) and offshore wind from the E at 6 mph, but it’s too small to ride. Then on Sunday morning, 26 July, we get a bit of a pulse – 3ft from the NW with an 8-second period and moderate energy (118), and the wind is dead calm (0 mph from the N). That’s glassy, but the swell is still short period and weak.
So, your best bet is Monday morning, 13 July, at Ilbaritz - Bora Bora. It’s a reef break, fairly consistent, and exposed to the W swell, but the swell is coming from the WNW, so it’s a bit off. Expect crowds often. For a beginner, 4ft is fine, but it’s not a standout. That’s as good as it gets.
Rusty.
