The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here.
Looks like we're in for a quiet spell at Ilbaritz - Edouard VII, a reef break that takes a west swell. The water's sitting at a very warm 75°F, a solid 4°F above average for this time of year, so you'll be in boardies if you do get in.
Honestly, for the next week and a half, it's a bit of a dud. From Thursday the 13th right through to Sunday the 23rd, the swell is tiny, weak, and the winds are mostly onshore or cross-onshore. The energy readings are mostly in the double digits or low hundreds, nowhere near enough to get excited about. There's a moment on the morning of Wednesday the 19th where it goes glassy, but with a wave height of 1ft and a period of just 5 seconds, it's barely a ripple.
Now, there is a glimmer of hope way out in the forecast. The standout window looks to be Monday the 24th. The morning session has glassy conditions and a solid 8ft NW groundswell pushing in with an energy reading of 910. The period is 9 seconds, which is decent. Keep in mind that at this size, it'll be pushing into the intermediate and above zone. The afternoon holds a similar 8ft but turns onshore, so the morning is the clear target.
Tuesday the 25th morning is the other call. It's a little smaller at 5ft from the NW, but it's clean with light offshore winds from the east. The 379 energy reading shows there's still some punch.
So, a long, flat run broken by a solid couple of days right at the back end of the forecast window. Keep an eye on that Monday the 24th morning.
Rusty.
