Table - best surf conditions forecast for Ilbaritz - Edouard VII over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s talk in feet and Fahrenheit.
We’re looking at Ilbaritz - Edouard VII (reef), and honestly, it’s a tough run. For the next week and a half, there’s barely any swell, and when there is a little bump, the wind’s usually ruining it. The water’s sitting at 76°, which is way warmer than normal for this time of year – that’s a real head-scratcher.
The one moment that might be worth paddling out for is Saturday morning, July 22 – that’s more than a week out, so take it with a grain of salt, but it’s the best we’ve got. You’re looking at a clean 4ft swell from the NNW, with a light NE cross-off breeze. The period is a short 7 seconds, so it won’t have much power, but the clean conditions could make it workable. Combined wave energy is moderate at 196. It’s a fairly consistent reef break, and crowds are often around, so expect company if it turns on.
Before that, it’s a long, flat, choppy stretch. The morning of Saturday, July 22 is your only real highlight in the whole 16 days. After that, it slips back into onshore junk and tiny waves. Not a great run for beginners or experts – just poor conditions all around. Nothing special, but you never know when the forecast might flip.
Rusty.
