Table - best surf conditions forecast for Ilbaritz - Edouard VII over the next 16 days.
Hey, Rusty here again. Let’s talk about Ilbaritz – Edouard VII in feet and miles per hour.
The outlook is pretty grim overall, with most days offering tiny, weak waves and messy wind. The first week and a half is all about small surf – Saturday the 11th kicks off with a 2ft WNW swell, glassy in the morning, but only 102 combined energy – barely a ripple. Sunday the 12th is similar: 2ft WNW groundswell (10‑second period) and glassy again, but still very ordinary. From Monday the 13th through to the following weekend, the swell stays under 4ft and the wind is mostly cross‑onshore or onshore, so it’s choppy and uninviting. A few days drop to near flat.
Things start to build around the 20th. Monday the 20th sees 6‑7ft NW swell (period 7‑8 seconds) with combined energy up to 511 – moderate to strong energy, but the wind is cross‑onshore, so it’s rough. Not worth the hassle.
The one real standout is Saturday the 25th. A solid 8ft NW groundswell with a long 13‑second period and combined energy of 1863 – that’s powerful water. The swell direction is close to the optimum west, but the wind is onshore (6 mph from the west), so it’ll be lumpy. The guidance flags it as marginal due to tide or wind. At that size it’s expert only, and you’ll have to deal with bumpy conditions. Earlier in the week, Friday the 24th morning has a clean 3ft NW swell with offshore wind from the ENE (6 mph), but it’s small.
All in all, the first ten days are a write‑off apart from a couple of glassy, tiny sessions. The last weekend – 25th and 26th – brings the only real pulse, but the onshore wind spoils it. The 25th has the most size and power, but expect crowds (this spot is often busy) and be ready for a fight with the wind.
Rusty.
