The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s talk Ilbaritz - Edouard VII in feet and miles per hour.
First few days are nothing to brag about. Monday the 27th has junky, onshore wind and weak swell – a total bust. The wind stays messy through the rest of the week, and most of the surf is small, short-period windswell with poor conditions.
The one session to circle on your calendar is Tuesday morning the 28th of July. The wind turns clean offshore out of the east at just 5 km/h, with swell running about 4ft from the NW and a 10-second period. Combined energy is 362 (moderate), and the report says clean. This is your moment on this reef – but expect crowds to be a problem, as they often are here.
From there, it goes downhill fast. Tuesday afternoon onward is mostly small, weak, and choppy. Through the end of July and into early August, the wind stays cross-on or onshore and the waves shrink. Saturday afternoon the 1st of August shows some improvement – 3ft from the NW, light cross-off wind, energy 134 – but it’s still only "ordinary". Not for the eager.
The second week is even more disappointing. From the 4th of August onward, swells are tiny – under 3ft at best, mostly short-period. Tuesday the 4th has a glassy morning with 1ft and 11-second period from the WNW, but it’s too small to really enjoy. Then on Tuesday the 11th of August, there’s a glassy morning with 4ft from NNW and a short 7-second period, energy 114 – "very ordinary" is the call. You might scratch a wave if conditions align, but don’t hold your breath.
Bottom line: the only standout is that Tuesday morning, July 28th. Everything else is small, short, or blown out. This reef can shine when it’s on, but for most of this outlook, it just isn’t.
Rusty signing off.
