Right folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the table for Ilbaritz - Edouard VII. I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough one. We’re looking at a long, quiet stretch before anything really gets going.
The water’s sitting at 75°F, and that’s a whopping 7°F warmer than it should be for this time of year. That’s very unusual, you’d feel it.
For the first ten days, from Friday the 3rd of July right through to the end of the following week, it’s a write-off. There’s a gap of days with no proper surf on offer. We’re talking small, weak energy, with the combined swell energy struggling to get much above 200 (moderate at best) and often sitting down around 44 to 97 (weak). The wind is mostly cross-onshore, and the wave comment is consistently “poor surf conditions.” It’s just not happening. Kite surfers might get a look with that onshore flow, but for a paddle surfer, it’s a hard pass.
Sunday the 12th of July morning looks a bit rough with rain showers.
Now, there’s a flicker of hope around Tuesday the 14th of July. Swell picks up to 6 ft from the WNW, with a period of 11 seconds. The combined energy jumps to a strong 706. But here’s the catch – it’s a reef break, and we’ve got a cross-onshore wind all day and the conditions are still “marginal.” With that size, it’s getting a bit much for beginners, and the wind won’t give us those perfect, clean faces. The afternoon drops off to 5 ft and the energy to 584.
The best chance in the whole run comes on Saturday the 18th of July. Saturday morning looks glassy, the wind is from the north at just 3 mph. The swell is 5 ft from the WNW, with a 9-second period. The combined energy is a solid 377 (moderate). For a few hours there, it should be clean and surfable. Expect it to be a bit of a crowd, as this spot is often busy. This is the standout by a long shot. The afternoon gets a bit messy as the wind picks up and swings cross-shore again.
So, to sum it up: hang tight, wait for that Saturday the 18th, and get out there early. Otherwise, this is a quiet two weeks for Ilbaritz.
Rusty.
