Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it's a pretty grim stretch for surf at Ilbaritz - Edouard VII. The swell is tiny and weak, and the wind is going to be a problem more often than not. We're looking at a long, dry spell with nothing of real interest for a paddle surfer.
The whole 16-day window is a bit of a bust. The only real window for a surf is on Thursday morning, the 9th of July. The swell is small at 2ft from the WNW, with a period of 10 seconds, giving us weak energy (85). The wind is light from the north and glassy, making for clean conditions. The waves are small, but it's the only moment where you'll be able to get a few clean ones without fighting the wind. It's not a standout, it's just the best of a bad lot.
After that, Thursday afternoon turns to junk with a cross-onshore breeze. Friday, Saturday, and Sunday all see small, weak swell (2ft to 2ft) with poor wind conditions, either cross-onshore or just messy. The wave energy is consistently low, all under 100. There are a couple of brief windows of glassy conditions on Sunday morning, 12th July, and again on Saturday morning, 18th July, but the swell is so tiny (0.7ft to 2ft) you’d be lucky to find anything rideable. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, nothing unusual there.
From the middle of July onwards, it gets even worse. The swell stays small, often under 3ft, but the wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, and the period is short, making for poor, choppy conditions. The energy is weak, barely cracking 100 on a couple of afternoons, but the wind ruins it. There is a little bump in the swell on the 20th and 21st of July, with waves around 3ft to 4ft, but the wind is directly onshore from the west, making it a complete write-off. The energy is moderate at best (111), but it's all messy, blown-out slop.
This is a classic case of a blank run for this area. The swell is too small, the wind is too often on the nose, and the setup is a reef, so it's not even kite-friendly. There's just nothing to get excited about. Keep the board in the car and hope the forecasts change. Until then, my advice is to stay on land.
Rusty.
