Alright, this is Rusty. Let's get into it. Look, I'll level with you, the next couple of weeks are pretty slow for surf around here. We've got a long stretch of small, wind-affected conditions, and for the first week, honestly, there's nothing that really stands out. After that, the swell stays tiny, and the wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, making a mess of things.

We're looking at Monday morning, July 6th, for the first chance at a wave, but it's not a good one. Ilbaritz - Edouard VII is a reef break, exposed to the west. The swell is a tiny 2 ft from the NW, with a period of 9 seconds. The combined energy is weak at 64. The water temperature is a very unusual 75°, which is a massive 7 degrees warmer than normal for this time of year. The wind is a light easterly offshore, which is a good sign for clean conditions, but with such small surf, it's really only going to be just about surfable. Don't expect much.

Tuesday morning, July 7th, offers a chance at a clean session. We've got glassy conditions with a light NW wind, but the swell is even smaller, down to 2 ft from the NW with an 8-second period. The energy is only 40. It's a poor surf situation.

From Wednesday, July 8th, through the end of the first week and into the second, the story is all the same. The swell is tiny, rarely getting above 2 ft, and when the wind does go offshore again on Saturday morning, July 11th, and Sunday, July 12th, the swell is still just knee-high. Saturday morning does see a touch more energy, up to 102, which is weak but the best we've seen. The wind is light and offshore again, so it'll be clean, but you're still only looking at 2 ft, 9-second NW swell. It's a clean but very small session.

After that, it's a grim run. From Monday, July 13th, all the way through to Tuesday, July 21st, the swell is almost non-existent, and the wind is consistently blowing onshore or cross-onshore. The combined energy drops into the teens and twenties. It's flat, choppy, and not worth paddling out for. This is a long, blank run of about 9 days with no real recommendations.

If you're desperate for a splash, the cleanest windows are Monday morning, July 6th, with that offshore breeze, and Saturday morning, July 11th, but you'll be struggling on tiny, weak waves. For the rest of it, save your energy. This is a tough stretch for the area. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s looking pretty poor.

Rusty out.

A general guide to surfing at Ilbaritz - Edouard VII can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).

Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Ilbaritz - Edouard VII may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
