The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s have a good look at the charts for Ilbaritz - Edouard VII.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – the next week and a half is looking like a bit of a write-off. We’ve got a long, tough stretch of poor surf ahead. The general pattern is bumpy and choppy, with a lot of cross-onshore wind. The water is feeling like a bath at 77°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so don’t need a thick suit, but you’ll need patience.
The first sniff of something half-decent doesn’t come until Tuesday morning, the 28th of July. We finally get that offshore wind – a light Easterly breeze – and it cleans up the 4ft NW swell. The period is a nice 10 seconds, and the energy is moderate (362). It won’t be massive, but it’s the cleanest we’ve seen in days. The afternoon holds up too, with a clean 4ft and 284 energy. That Tuesday is your best bet in the near-term, but it’s a short-lived window. The next morning, Wednesday the 29th, the wind swings back cross-onshore and the quality drops right out again.
From there, it’s a long dry spell. We get a little pulse of energy on the 4th of August – Tuesday morning – with a 5ft swell from the WNW (294 energy), but the wind is onshore and the report calls it poor. Not worth the paddle out. There’s another pulse on the 8th of August – Saturday morning – with a big 10ft swell from the NW, but that’s paired with strong onshore winds at 16 mph. That’s an expert-only, messy beast, and the setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
Looking at the longer range, there’s a glimmer on Monday morning, the 6th of August. It’s only 3ft from the NW with a shamefully short 6-second period, but the wind is light cross-offshore and it’s clean. The energy is weak (71), so it’s just a little waist-high option if you’re desperate for a slide.
Honestly, for this 16-day run, the standout is that Tuesday, the 28th of July. It’s the only day where the stars align for a clean session. The rest is a waiting game. It’s a lean spell, but that’s the way it can go.
Rusty.
