The Lowdown
Right now, Lourdata or Lourdas Beach is lookin’ pretty flat, and honestly, it’s gonna stay that way for a good stretch. We’ve got a long gap ahead with no real surf on offer. The water is sitting at a very warm 83°, which is about 7° warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s real unusual, like bath water. But warmth doesn’t mean waves.
The first bit of Sunday afternoon kicks off with a cross-offshore breeze, but with zero combined swell energy, there’s just nothing to ride. Monday the 14th brings a tiny 2 ft swell from the NW at a short 6 seconds, but the energy is weak – it’s cross-offshore. The conditions are clean enough, but the swell is too small to get excited about – more of a splash-around than a surf.
Tuesday morning the 15th drops even smaller, less than 1 ft from the WNW with a 4-second period and minimal energy – basically flat. This pattern of tiny, weak swell and cross-offshore or glassy conditions repeats right through to Wednesday the 23rd. There are a few glassy mornings, like Friday the 18th morning with a calm sea and a 1 ft windswell, but the energy is tiny. It’s clean, sure, but there’s no push to it.
We get a minor bump on Thursday the 24th morning with a less than 1 ft groundswell from the SSW at 7 seconds, energy picking up a little, and glassy conditions. Still, that’s barely a ripple for a beginner beach break. The afternoon sees a 1 ft from the SSE with a bit more energy, but it’s cross-onshore and choppy.
After that, the final few days of September and into the 28th are all zeros for energy – dead flat. The wind picks up strong on the 25th afternoon with a 28 mph cross-offshore, but with only a 0.7 ft swell, you’re just gettin’ blown around on flat water.
To be straight with you, this is a long blank run for Lourdata. There’s nothing here that’d make me grab my board. If you’re a beginner and see a 2 ft day with clean wind, you might get a few fun crumbly ones, but it’s inconsistent at best. The swell direction never really lines up with the optimum SW, and the period is always short. For the experienced crew, there’s just no energy to tap into.
Keep an eye on things, forecasts can change, but right now it’s a solid pass.
