The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s coming up at Ilbaritz - Edouard VII.

It’s a bit of a slow start, to be honest with ya. The first couple of days are pretty flat and messy, so you’re not missing much if you wait. The water’s sitting at 24°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – feels like you’re already on a tropical holiday without the flight.

Thursday the 3rd is a write-off: tiny 0.5m northwest slop, short period at 8 seconds, and the energy is weak (32). Nothing to get excited about. Friday morning the 4th is glassy but still only 0.5m – you could get wet, but it’s not gonna be a session you remember.

Then Saturday the 5th afternoon rolls in, and things start to look promising. The swell bumps up to 1.5m from the northwest, with a long 13-second period that’ll bring proper lines. The combined energy hits 747 – that’s moderate to strong juice – and the wind goes glassy. That’s your first real standout: expect clean, punchy waves. It’s a reef break that’s fairly consistent, and with this swell direction from the west matching what this spot loves, it’ll handle that long-period groundswell well. The rip might be a bit pushy at that size – it’s intermediate level, so beginners might find it a handful.

Sunday the 6th morning is a step down, with cross-onshore wind and 1.4m swell, still decent energy (552) but not as clean. By Sunday afternoon the onshore wind picks up and it gets sloppy.

Monday the 7th and Tuesday the 8th are mixed. Monday’s tiny again, but Tuesday morning offers a good window: 1.3m from the WNW, with a clean offshore breeze from the NNE. Energy is moderate (352), conditions are clean, and it’s a solid option if you missed the weekend.

Wednesday the 9th is a bit ordinary – onshore wind, choppy.

Now, Thursday the 10th morning is another nice one. Glassy conditions, 1.2m from the northwest, moderate energy (225). It’s clean and surfable – a good midweek session if you can sneak away.

The second week is quieter. From the 11th to the 15th, the swell drops right off – we’re talking 0.4m to 0.8m, mostly short period, with a lot of messy cross-onshore afternoons. Mornings on the 13th, 14th, and 15th offer clean offshore winds and very small waves – better than nothing, but you’ll be working for it.

Then on Wednesday the 16th morning, things bounce back. Clean offshore wind from the east, 1.1m northwest swell with an 11-second period, and solid energy (383). It’s a good call for an intermediate surfer looking for lined-up waves. The crowds can be an issue here – it’s often busy – so get in early.

Thursday the 17th morning is similar: offshore east wind, 1.1m from the NNW, clean, with 262 energy. Worth a look.

After that, it fades into the 18th with tiny glassy waves.

Overall, the standout sessions are Saturday the 5th afternoon and Thursday the 10th morning. The 16th morning is a decent backup.

Stay stoked, Rusty.
