The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's on the menu for Ilbaritz - Edouard VII.
We’re looking at a pretty flat start, with small, messy waves and cross-onshore winds for the next several days. The water's sitting at 75° with a 2° anomaly – that's much warmer than usual for this time of year, so the water temp is a real standout even if the surf isn't.
The first real glimmer of hope doesn't show up until Monday morning, August 17th. We get a glassy 3ft swell from the NW, but the conditions are still just "surfable." Not terrible, but not worth hooting and hollering about. The real bump comes later in that second week. Tuesday morning, August 18th, sees a slightly smaller 3ft NW swell, but the wind swings offshore from the ESE, cleaning things up nicely for a session. The energy is only moderate (84), but with clean conditions, it’s the best we’ve seen in a while.
Then there’s a big gap of poor conditions. The standout – the one to circle on your calendar – is Tuesday morning, August 25th. We’ve got a solid 5ft groundswell from the WNW with a long 11-second period. The wind is a light offshore from the ENE, making for clean waves. The combined energy is a meaty 540, which is strong. This is the pick of the fortnight. It might be a touch big for beginners, but for everyone else, this is where it’s at. The afternoon gets a little wind-affected and the energy jumps to 729, but the morning is the window.
Overall, it’s a slow start with a promising second week. Keep your eyes on that Tuesday the 25th.
