The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you. Looking at the next couple of weeks, it’s going to be a tough one for us. We’ve got Lourdata or Lourdas Beach as our only real option on the board, but even there, the ocean is looking pretty dormant for a while. We’re in for a long stretch of small, weak surf, so don’t go getting your hopes up just yet.
The next week or so is looking flat, real flat. There’s just no energy in the water, and what little swell tries to show up is mostly tiny. The water is warm though, at 83°F, and that’s a good five and a half degrees warmer than usual for this time of year. That’s a big deal and it’s going to feel like a bath out there.
We’ll see a couple of tiny pulses of west-northwest swell around the 14th, with the morning looking glassy. The swell might reach 2ft at 6 seconds, but that’s weak, with combined energy of only 35. This is a long way from rideable. Morning on the 15th stays glassy with a small 1ft swell, but again, it’s not going to do much.
Honestly, nothing here is going to get the heart pumping. Even when we get a small bump, the period is short, and the swell is just too weak to offer anything with any push. We’re looking at clean conditions, which is a silver lining, but it’s really just a nice day to float around rather than surf.
If you’re into kitesurfing, those afternoons with a bit more breeze and some cross-off wind might be more interesting, but the surf itself is not on the menu. The good news, if you can call it that, is that conditions are consistently clean, so it’s a nice place to be, even if the waves aren't.
The second week from the 16th onwards looks like more of the same, so don’t expect any sudden changes. We’re in for a long dry spell, which is typical for this place when the swell just doesn’t show. Hang tight, keep the board waxed, and hopefully, the forecast will shift. This is Rusty, signing off.

Information about the Lourdata or Lourdas Beach Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Lourdata or Lourdas Beach provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Lourdata or Lourdas Beach can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Lourdata or Lourdas Beach surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Lourdata or Lourdas Beach) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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 Lourdata or Lourdas Beach 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.
