The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a good look at what’s coming down the pike for Lourdas Beach.
To be straight with you, this is a tough stretch. We’ve got a long, flat run ahead. The first real surf worth talking about doesn’t show up until the morning of Friday the 4th of September, and even then it’s only small. Before that, from now right through to the end of August and into the first few days of September, it’s mostly flat or close to it. You’ll see a few tiny ripples here and there, but nothing that’ll get you out of bed. The winds are mostly light and variable, with some glassy mornings around the 31st of August and the 1st of September, but there’s just no wave energy to work with (combined energy of all swells directed here is between 1 and 7).
The first hint of life comes on Friday the 4th of September. Friday morning is glassy with a little 2 ft NW groundswell, period a short 6 seconds. The combined energy of all swells directed here is only 17, so it’s weak, but it’s the best we’ve seen. The wind is light from the ENE, making for clean conditions. It’s a beginner-friendly size, but don’t expect much push. Friday afternoon sees a slight uptick to 2 ft from the WNW with a 7-second period, combined energy of all swells directed here up to 29, and a light cross-offshore breeze. It’s still small, but it’s clean.
Saturday the 5th of September is about the same story. Morning brings 2 ft of NW swell, 7-second period, combined energy 36, with a light offshore from the NW. Clean again, but tiny. That’s really the highlight of the whole outlook—the closest we get to a decent little session, but it’s still only for longboards or foils. After that, it fades back down into the small stuff for the rest of the period, with swell heights dropping to 0.7 ft and 1 ft, and combined energy falling off a cliff.
Because this is an exposed beach break, the swell direction is coming from the WNW to SW, which is okay, but the short periods (mostly 3 to 7 seconds) mean the waves will be weak and crumbly. It’s inconsistent here at Lourdas Beach, and this forecast shows exactly why. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, nothing weird going on there.
Overall, if you’re desperate for a paddle, the best bet is the morning of Saturday the 5th of September. It’s the peak of a very small window. Otherwise, leave your board at home and enjoy the sun. This is one of those runs where the forecast is more likely to improve than stay this flat, so keep an eye on it, but for now, there’s not much to shout about.
Rusty.
