The Lowdown
G’day, it’s Rusty here. I’ve looked over the next sixteen days, and I gotta tell you straight up: there’s nothing on the board worth paddling out for around Lourdas Beach (Kefalonia). This is a dead run with zero surf to get excited about. Every single morning and afternoon from now through to the 17th of September is marked as poor surf conditions, and the wave energy barely registers. We’re talking combined energy readings mostly between 1 and 12 – weak stuff – with the highest nudging just 67 on the 11th, which is still feeble. The swell height tops out at a pathetic 3 ft on the 11th and 12th, and even that’s coming from the WSW with a short period of just 6-7 seconds. That’s not enough push to make anything rideable, especially for a beach that’s exposed to the SW. The winds are mostly cross or cross-onshore, and on the few glassy mornings (like the 3rd and 5th), the swell is so tiny it’s laughable. The water temp is 82°F – that’s much warmer than normal for this time of year, with a 4°F anomaly – but you’d only appreciate that if there was a wave to sit in.
Honestly, this is one of those stretches where the area just goes flat. Lourdas Beach is inconsistent at the best of times, and right now, it’s a total blank. For anyone thinking of kiting, the afternoons on the 15th have 16 mph cross-onshore winds, but that’s about it. There’s not a single standout in this whole 16-day window. The surf stays poor, and there’s nothing to recommend. Keep an eye on the charts – it tends not to stay this dead forever, but right now, the only thing breaking is the horizon.
