Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Ilbaritz - Edouard VII, a reef set-up that usually needs a decent W swell to fire. Gotta be straight with you, this 16-day window is looking pretty flat and bleak. We’ve got a long stretch of nothing worthwhile, so don’t quit your day job just yet.
The first sign of any surfable energy doesn’t show up until Saturday the 11th of July. Now, it’s small, okay? We’re talking waves around 2 ft from the NW with a period of 9 seconds. The combined energy is moderate here at 127, but the real story is the wind. Saturday morning is glassy – dead calm – which is a major positive for this spot. That offshore breeze from the East kicks in Sunday the 12th of July, giving us clean conditions and similar 3 ft NW swell, but honestly, it’s still tiny. For a reef break like this, you’re looking at knee-high plus, maybe the odd waist-high set. It’s not a standout, just the best of a very poor lot.
The rest of the run is a total washout. We’ve got onshore winds, cross-onshore junk, and combined energy values dropping down to feeble numbers in the teens and twenties. The swell is tiny, often under 2 ft, and the period is short and weak. From the 14th of July right through to the end of the forecast on the 22nd, it’s just a flat spell. There’s a moment on the 19th of July with glassy conditions again, but the swell is only 0.7 ft, so it’s basically a lake.
So, the honest truth? If you’re desperate for a paddle, Saturday morning the 11th of July or Sunday morning the 12th of July are your only real shots. Bring a log and expect small, clean but weak waves. The rest of the fortnight is a write-off. Forecasts can change, but right now, this is a long, quiet stretch.
Rusty.
