The Lowdown
Alright, mate, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the menu for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I’m not gonna sugarcoat it—this stretch is looking pretty flat for the most part. We’ve got a real long stretch of almost nothing, especially from now through the end of August. The first hint of anything remotely rideable doesn’t show up until the very end of the period, and even then it’s just barely surfable.
The first bit of hope comes on the morning of Monday, 31st August at Lourdas Beach. We’ll see a small pulse of swell at 3 ft from the west, with a short period of 6 seconds, so it’s not gonna have much push. The combined energy is weak (84). The wind is light and cross-offshore from the northwest, which will keep the surface clean, so if you’re desperate for a splash, it’s the only game in town. The water is about average for this time of year, so nothing unusual there.
After that, it drops back off again. The morning of Tuesday, 1st September, has a little 2 ft west swell with offshore winds, but it’s still weak. Things try to pick up slightly by the morning of Thursday, 3rd September, with a similar 3 ft west swell and glassy conditions—about as good as it gets in this run, but still tiny. The combined energy is only 52, so it’s wimpy.
All in all, this is a poor run. Lourdas Beach is a beginner spot but it’s inconsistent, and there’s just no proper swell to speak of. It’s a tough time to be a surfer around here. Keep your eyes on the forecasts—things can change, but right now, this is a flat spell.
