The Lowdown
Alright, mate, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for this stretch of coast.
To be straight with you, the 16-day outlook for Lourdata or Lourdas Beach is a tough one. There’s really no surf to get excited about across the entire period. The swell energy is minimal, with the combined energy of all swells directed here barely reaching 52 at its best, and that’s pretty weak. For most of the run, it’s a flat spell with no waves to speak of.
The water temp is sitting at about 82°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so it’s pleasant for a swim but not for surfing.
The first few days from Sunday the 16th through to the end of August are all showing poor surf conditions. There’s a long stretch of glassy mornings and clean afternoons early on, but with zero to tiny swell, it’s just a paddling pond. The best you’ll see is a tiny 2 ft on Wednesday the 26th afternoon, but with a weak 5-second period and a moderate cross-shore chop, it’s not worth wetting a board for.
Toward the end of the run, on Saturday the 29th, there’s a slight pulse: a 3 ft swell from the NW with a 7-second period and combined energy of 52. That’s the biggest bump in the whole window, but the wind is cross-on, and it’s still a small, weak, choppy affair. Not exactly pulling anyone out of bed.
Given the lack of consistency and the tiny waves, this stretch is more suited to a kite session if you’ve got the gear, because the paddle surfing options are basically nil. It’s a quiet period, and sometimes that’s just the way this area goes.
So, keep your board waxed and hope the next forecast brings something better. Rusty out.

A general guide to surfing at Lourdata or Lourdas Beach can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.
