The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on offer for the next couple of weeks along the Lourdata or Lourdas Beach stretch.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough outlook. The whole 16-day forecast is looking pretty flat and lifeless, with a real dry spell at the start. For the first week, from Wednesday afternoon all the way through to the end of the following week, we’re looking at a whole lot of nothing. The swell is tiny, mostly under 2 ft, and the energy is barely registering, with the combined swell energy sitting at single digits most days. The only real standout, and it's a weak one, is a brief pulse on Friday the 11th.
The water is a standout feature though, coming in at 83° – that's a full 5° warmer than usual for this time of year, so it’s a proper warm bath out there.
The one and only break we have to look at is Lourdata or Lourdas Beach. It’s exposed to the southwest but the swell is mostly coming from the west and northwest, which isn't ideal. It’s an inconsistent, beginner-friendly beach break, and crowds are sometimes an issue.
The best you’re going to get in this whole window is the afternoon of Friday the 11th of September. The swell picks up a touch to 3 ft, coming from the WSW, with a period of 7 seconds. The wind will be light from the northwest, keeping it clean. The combined swell energy is at 92, which is about as good as it gets here in this forecast. Honestly, it’s still "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions." It’s not going to be pretty, but it’s the only time the numbers even hint at a paddle. The morning of the 11th is also a possibility with 2 ft and clean conditions, but the energy is a bit weaker.
After that, it’s back to the flat spell. The morning of Monday the 14th offers a glassy 1 ft, and the morning of the 15th gives a clean 2 ft, but with that tiny energy, it’s a real struggle to get excited.
So, what’s the call? The standout is the afternoon of Friday the 11th. It’s not a world-class day by any stretch, but it’s the only window where the swell and wind line up into something a surfer can actually work with. For the rest of the time, the board will be gathering dust. This is just one of those blank runs for the area.
Rusty.
