The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Lourdata or Lourdas Beach.
Honestly, mate, this is a tough stretch. The next 16 days are looking pretty flat for the most part, with only tiny, weak swells popping up here and there. We’re talking about an exposed beach break that’s picky about direction, and the swell just isn’t cooperating. The water is sitting at a warm 79°F, which is about average for this time of year, so at least the dip won’t be cold.
Right from the start, on Wednesday, August 5th, it’s a no-go. A tiny 0.7ft swell from the west with a 3-second period, and the combined energy is a measly 1. It’s just not enough to push through. That same story carries through the first week. The mornings are often glassy or with light offshore breezes, but with swell heights barely reaching 1ft, it’s just a lake. The afternoons get a bit of cross-shore wind, but with no wave to ride, it’s pointless.
We get a slight bump later on. The best chance in the whole window looks like Tuesday, August 18th, with a 2ft swell from the west-southwest, a 6-second period, and combined energy of 30. It’s still small, but it’s the biggest we’ll see. The wind is a light cross-onshore, so it’ll be a bit bumpy, but for a longboard or a foiler, it might be worth a paddle. The morning of Wednesday, August 19th, is another one to watch, with a 2ft swell from the northwest, a 6-second period, and combined energy of 43, and glassy conditions. That’s the cleanest and biggest wave of the whole forecast, but it’s still very small. For a beginner, anything over 5ft is considered too big, but here we’re well under that, so it’s safe for everyone, just not exciting.
The rest of the second week is more of the same: tiny, weak swells with poor surf conditions. The afternoon of August 20th gets a 19 mph cross-offshore wind, which is strong, but with no swell, it’s just a windy day on the beach. This is a rare stretch where the surf just isn’t on. For a beach break like this, it’s a normal part of the season.
Rusty, signing off.
