The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get straight into it. Look, I've been staring at the charts for Lourdas Beach, and I'm not gonna sugarcoat it – this is a tough outlook. The entire 16-day window is a real struggle. There's barely a bump of energy, and the setup just isn't cooperating for a proper surf session. The vast majority of this period is either flat or so weak it's not worth paddling out for. We're looking at a blank run that stretches across almost the whole two weeks, so if you're hanging for a wave, this stretch is going to test your patience.
The only real, and I mean the *only*, glimmer of something rideable pops up on Wednesday the 23rd of September. The morning brings a little pulse of NW swell, close to 3ft, with a period of 7 seconds. It's not going to win any awards, but with a clean, cross-off breeze from the ENE at 12 mph, the surface should be tidy. The combined wave energy is still weak. That afternoon, the swell holds a bit around 3ft from the WNW, but the wind swings cross-shore, making it a bit messier. That Wednesday morning window is honestly the standout—if you can call it that—simply because it's the only time the stars even partially align.
If the swell was bigger, this beach-and-reef setup might look more interesting for the kite crew than us paddle surfers, but as it stands, it's a quiet period for everyone. The water is cooking, though, at a very unusual 84°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year.
So, there it is. A very lean 16 days ahead. It tends not to stay this poor for long, so forecasts can change, but right now, there's not much to get excited about.
Rusty.
