Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for the next couple of weeks at Ilbaritz - Edouard VII.
Straight up, it’s a pretty bleak run of surf. This is a reef break that’s fairly consistent, but the forecast shows very few windows where it all comes together. You're looking at a long stretch of small, weak swell and poor wind conditions for paddle surfing. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual there.
Monday 6 July offers the first opportunity, but it's a marginal one. Morning brings a 2ft NW swell (9 seconds) with a light offshore easterly breeze, making for clean conditions. Combined energy is low at 64. It’s surfable, but ordinary. The afternoon switches to a light north breeze, turning it cross-shore and messy.
From Tuesday 7 July through to Thursday 9 July, forget it. Winds are onshore or cross-onshore, swell is tiny and weak – you’ll be scratching for anything. The energy readings drop into the 30s and 40s.
Friday 10 July morning is the next flicker. It’s glassy under cloudy skies with a 2ft, 9-second WNW swell. Combined energy is still low at 58, but the glassy surface makes it the cleanest it’s been. Worth a look if you’re desperate. The afternoon gets ruined by a north breeze.
Saturday 11 July morning repeats the pattern – glassy, 2ft NW swell (8 seconds). The energy is a bit better at 80. It’s the same story: surfable but ordinary. Afternoon goes cross-shore again.
Sunday 12 July is onshore, poor.
Monday 13 July sees a slight lift in swell height to 3ft (WNW, 6 seconds) and combined energy climbs to 126, which is moderate. But the wind is cross-onshore, making it bumpy. The short period means weak, choppy waves. Not great.
Tuesday 14 July drops back to tiny, weak swell.
Wednesday 15 July brings onshore wind and a 3ft, short-period swell. Poor.
Thursday 16 July is the low point – 1ft swell, energy in the 20s. Don't even bother.
Friday 17 July to Saturday 18 July – still small and wind-affected. One to two-foot junk.
Sunday 19 July to Monday 20 July – more of the same. Swell bumps up a notch on Monday but winds are onshore.
Tuesday 21 July is the only real standout in the whole period. The morning brings a 4ft NW swell (8 seconds) and combined energy jumps to 203, which is moderate. But the catch: the wind is onshore from the west, so the conditions will be choppy and bumpy. It's the biggest swell of the outlook, but the quality will be poor. With the onshore wind and a beach/reef setup, this might actually be more interesting for kite surfing than a traditional paddle session.
Overall, there are a few sessions early on with glassy conditions and tiny waves, but nothing to get excited about. The forecast can always change, but right now it’s a patchy outlook with no solid bets.
Rusty.
