The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here.

Alright, we’ve got a bit of a slow start across the board at Ilbaritz – Edouard VII this reef. The first few days are pretty flat and ordinary, but there’s a good pulse heading our way, so don’t write the whole window off.

The water’s sitting at 74°F right now, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year — that’s over three and a half degrees above average, so it’s a notable change.

Wednesday morning kicks things off with tiny 3 ft NW swell but the wind is glass, dead calm. The energy’s weak at 120, so it’s surfable but nothing to get excited about. The rest of the week stays small — mostly under 3 ft — and the winds shuffle around, keeping things messy.

Then Saturday morning (September 5th) things start to lift. Still small at 3 ft NW, but it’s glassy again and the energy jumps to 226 — finally some pulse. The real standout though hits Sunday morning (September 6th): a clean 5 ft NW groundswell, period at 12 seconds with light offshore easterly wind and energy roaring at 603. That’s the best of the whole window — clean, solid, and the reef will handle that long-period swell nicely.

After that, it drops off again. Monday (September 7th) gets blown out by a 12 mph onshore westerly, and the rest of the week is mostly small or chop-ridden.

Saturday (September 13th) offers another chance — 5 ft NW swell, early clean with a light cross-off wind, energy at 318. That morning session could be fun if you time it.

Monday (September 14th) is glassy again with 4 ft NW and decent energy 323 — another clean morning option.

Tuesday (September 15th) pushes to 5 ft NW in the morning with glassy conditions and energy at 283 — that’s the biggest of the run, but with such short period it might be a bit lumpy in the afternoon.

After that, it fades back to small, ordinary surf.

Best on offer: Sunday morning (September 6th) without doubt. Clean, solid, good energy.

Stay keen,
Rusty.
