The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break it down in feet and Fahrenheit.
We’ve only got one break in the mix: Ilbaritz - Edouard VII. It’s a reef setup, intermediate level, fairly consistent, and open to westerly swells. The water temp is 74°, which is a solid 4° warmer than normal for this time of year – that’s a big deal.
The first few days are flat and not worth talking about. Nothing on Sunday 6th or Monday 7th.
The first real chance is Wednesday morning, 9th September – a 6ft northwest swell, but with a short 9-second period and cross-shore wind, so it’ll be chopped up. Combined energy is moderate (554). Not clean enough.
The standout window is Thursday morning, 10th September. Glassy, light wind, and a clean 5ft northwest swell with a 10-second period. Combined energy at 400. That’s a great morning for the reef. Crowds are often, so get there early.
Friday 11th and Saturday 12th mornings are glassy but the swell drops to 2ft – weak, small, and ordinary.
Sunday 13th September morning is a real treat. Glassy, only 2ft of swell, but with a very long 13-second period from the northwest. That’s proper groundswell, and on a reef it’ll produce clean, shaped waves. Combined energy is 257. Worth the paddle.
The next standout is Tuesday 15th September morning – glassy, 4ft of 12-second northwest swell, combined energy 494. Clean and solid.
Saturday 19th September morning is another good one: clean, light cross-offshore breeze, 4ft of 12-second northwest swell, combined energy 489. Another quality reef session.
After that, the surf fades into small, onshore slop.
Bottom line: the best bets are Thursday 10th and Tuesday 15th mornings for clean, glassy conditions and decent size. Sunday 13th morning is a gem for the long-period groundswell lovers.
