The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s break down what Ilbaritz - Edouard VII is offerin’ up over the next couple weeks.
The start is dead quiet—flat, tiny swell and messy winds through late August. Not a single wave worth paddlin’ for. First hint of something real comes on Wednesday the 28th afternoon with a 1.9m WNW swell bringin’ some energy, but that onshore wind’s gonna wreck it. You gotta wait till the weekend.
Saturday the 29th morning is your first proper window. Clear skies, a light easterly offshore breeze, and a clean 1.7m NW swell (period 9 seconds) with moderate energy (470). It’s a reef break, so the longer period helps the shape, and though crowds are often here, the early glass makes it a gem. That’s the pick.
Sunday the 30th morning is another glassy beauty—1.4m WNW swell (period 9 seconds, energy 293), dead calm. Then Tuesday the 3rd of September has a 1.1m NW swell (period 10 seconds, energy 219) with a clean offshore easterly at 15 mph. Nice and tidy.
Later in the second week, Tuesday the 8th of September morning delivers 1.6m NW swell (period 10 seconds, energy 469) under glass. And the standout for the brave: Thursday the 10th of September morning—1.9m NW swell (period 10 seconds, energy 738) with zero wind. Dead flat calm. That’s expert-only size, but if you’re skilled, it’ll be epic. Long-range and a bit uncertain, so keep an eye on it.
Water temp’s about average for this time of year, nothin’ out of the ordinary.
Stay stoked,
Rusty
