The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ll be straight with you – this 16-day stretch for Lourdata or Lourdas Beach is a real flat spell. There’s barely a ripple to get excited about. The first proper surf chance doesn’t even show up until the 20th of August, and even then it’s tiny. The water is sitting at a warm 83°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so you’ll be comfortable if you’re just floating around.
The whole run is dominated by poor surf conditions. From the 11th right through to the 19th, it’s all zeros and tiny slop. The combined swell energy is basically zero (0) for most of that first week, with a few 1 or 2 values popping up on the 14th, 15th, 18th, and 19th – that’s weak energy, barely enough to move a buoy. The break is inconsistent and rarely breaks anyway, so this blank run isn’t a huge surprise.
The first hint of anything comes on Thursday the 20th morning, with a glassy 1 ft from the WSW, period 5 seconds, and combined energy of 8. That’s still weak, and the afternoon gets a cross-onshore wind. Friday the 21st morning is glassy again with 1 ft from the SW, but it’s tiny. The best of a bad bunch looks like Saturday the 22nd morning – glassy, 2 ft from the W, period 5 seconds, and energy of 16. The afternoon jumps to 2 ft from the WNW with period 6 seconds and energy of 39, but it’s cross-shore with a moderate breeze. That’s the biggest swell of the whole outlook, but it’s still only 2 ft, short period, and not worth paddling out for.
The last few days, from the 23rd to the 26th, are back to flat or near-flat, with the 26th morning bringing a risk of thunderstorms and fresh offshore winds, but no swell. Honestly, there’s nothing here for a surfer. The water’s warm, the wind is often glassy or clean, but without any swell, it’s a swim or a paddleboard session only. The break is a beach, so if the wind picks up with that tiny chop, it’d be more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer. Keep an eye on the forecasts, though – things can change, but for now, leave the boards at home.
Rusty.

Information about the Lourdata or Lourdas Beach Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Lourdata or Lourdas Beach provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Lourdata or Lourdas Beach can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Lourdata or Lourdas Beach surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period.

Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Lourdata or Lourdas Beach may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
