The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I've got the goods on Lourdata or Lourdas Beach.
To be honest, folks, it's a bit of a tough stretch ahead. Over the next 16 days, the surf is persistently poor and tiny. We're looking at a long, frustrating run of flat conditions with only the faintest pulses of energy. The first real hope of a wave doesn't come until the 25th of July, and even then, it's a struggle.
Let's start with the morning of July 25th. There's a tiny pulse of swell, 2ft from the NW with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is a paltry 57 – that's weak, no question. The big plus here is the wind; we've got a light NE blowing offshore, which should keep the surface clean. But with that short period and small size, it's really only going to be marginal for a beginner. It's not going to be a standout.
The following morning, on the 26th, we get glassy conditions with the wind dropping to nothing, but the swell collapses to 1ft from the NW. The energy is a measly 7. It's a classic case of plenty of time to stare at a flat ocean.
The water temperature is sitting at 82°, which is 5° warmer than normal for this time of year. That's much warmer than usual, so you won't need a thick wetsuit, that's for sure.
After the 26th, it's pretty much a write-off. The swell drops to near zero, and the energy values are often in the single digits. There are a few clean mornings, like the 27th with glassy conditions and a 2ft west swell, but the energy is only 15. It's frustrating.
The whole period is a bust. The spot is inconsistent at the best of times, and this forecast is a classic example of the area going quiet. There's no standout session here, no day to get excited about. The best of a bad bunch is the morning of the 25th, but even that's a real scratch for a wave. It's one of those times where you might be better off with a cold drink and a good book.
That's all from me. Stay patient.
