The Lowdown
Alright folks, it’s Rusty with a look at the Lourdas Beach stretch.
Look, I’ve got to be straight with you – the next 16 days from July 20th through to August 4th are looking pretty flat for Lourdata or Lourdas Beach. The ocean is basically on holiday. The combined energy of all swells directed here is a measly zero to single-digit numbers, so you’re not going to find any real wave power to work with. The water is sitting at a warm 81°, which is over 4° warmer than usual, so it's a nice swim, but not much else.
We kick off Monday, July 20th with a glassy morning, but no swell at all. That’s the story for the first few days – tiny, short-period windswells showing up, like a 0.7 ft from the west on Tuesday afternoon with a period of just 3 seconds. The wind is light, sometimes glassy or cross-off, but there's no energy behind it. The best you’ll see is a tiny 2 ft from the northwest on Thursday morning, July 23rd, with a period of 6 seconds and a combined energy of just 27. That’s it. By Friday morning, it’s glassy and dead again.
The pattern keeps repeating: a few little bumps of 1.0 ft to 2 ft from the northwest or west-northwest, with periods between 3 and 7 seconds, and combined energy rarely cracking 45. The wind is often clean or glassy, but the swell is just too small to ride. There’s a period of strong cross-off or cross-shore winds on the afternoon of July 24th with a risk of storms, but no swell to go with it, so that’s a write-off.
The second week, from July 27th onwards, is no better. We’re looking at flat spells and tiny 0.7 ft to 1.0 ft waves. The wind is mostly light and clean, but the ocean is a lake. The last few days into August 1st and 2nd are just more of the same – tiny west swells with periods of 3-4 seconds and energy levels of 1 or 2. By August 4th, it’s a glassy 0.7 ft from the west.
Honestly, there isn’t a single standout day in this window. The consistency is non-existent, with the swell being 'inconsistent' at best. For a beginner spot, the waves are simply too small. This setup is more interesting for a long swim or a paddleboard than a surfboard. The forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a blank.
Rusty out.
