The Lowdown

Alright, folks. Rusty here. Let's chew the fat on what's coming for Ilbaritz - Edouard VII.

We've got a real mixed bag of a forecast for the next 16 days. The water is sitting at 74°, which is a solid 4° warmer than usual – a proper tropical surprise. The first few days are pretty lackluster, but there are a couple of windows where that classic NW groundswell and the wind finally shake hands.

The first chance to get a wave is Saturday morning, September 5th. It's on the small side, with 3 ft of NW swell coming in at 9 seconds, but the wind is dead glassy from the east-northeast. The energy is moderate (206), and it'll be a fun little grovel on a fish or a log. It's a reef that's fairly consistent, so you'll find a few.

Now, listen up. The session you need to be ready for is Sunday morning, September 6th. We've got a solid 5 ft of NW groundswell, with a nice 12-second period. The energy is pumping (661). But the real beauty is the light SE cross-offshore breeze. That's going to give you clean, lined-up, glassy waves at this reef. The swell direction is exactly what this spot wants. This is the real deal.

The swell sticks around, but the wind goes to crap. Sunday afternoon turns onshore, and the next few mornings are a question mark with the tide. There's a tiny window on Wednesday morning, September 9th, with a clean 4 ft from the NW and light offshore wind, but the period is short at 8 seconds, so it'll be a bit weak and mushy.

The next big hopeful is a long way out. Sunday morning, September 13th. We're looking at a very strong pulse of energy (984) with a 6 ft NW swell and a 13-second period. That's a serious, powerful groundswell. The forecast has the wind glassy from the northeast in the morning. This is a big call for a week and a half out, so it's promising but not locked in. At that size, it's for experienced surfers only. The reef should handle that long period energy just fine.

After that, it's a bit of a mixed bag. Tuesday morning, September 15th, has 3 ft of NW swell with zero wind – totally glassy. It'll be small but clean. Then Wednesday morning, September 16th, has a clean 3 ft NW swell with glassy easterly winds.

The second week is quieter, with a few clean mornings but small, lackluster swells.

So, to wrap it up: the absolute standout is Sunday morning, September 6th, for the perfect combo of size and glassy conditions. The Sunday morning, September 13th is the big, promising one for the future, but don't book the trip just yet. The rest of the time, you'll be hunting for a clean one.

Rusty, out.
