The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the next couple of weeks around Lourdata or Lourdas Beach are pretty grim. We’ve got a long stretch of nothing, a few tiny bumps, and even the bigger stuff at the end of the run is looking messy. Let’s walk through it.
Right now, and for most of the next week and a half, the surf is flat. We’re talking about a gap of nearly two weeks with virtually nothing rideable. From Thursday, July 30th, all the way through to Monday, August 10th, you’re looking at waves that barely register. The combined energy stays below 10 – that’s almost nothing. Morning glass-offs will make the ocean look pretty, but with swell heights of 0.3 ft to 1 ft, there’s just no push. It’s a total write-off for paddling.
Finally, on Wednesday, August 12th, there’s a flicker of life. The morning shows a 2 ft swell from the W with a period of 7 seconds, and the combined energy jumps to 34 – still weak, but it’s something. By Wednesday afternoon, it bumps up to 5 ft from the WNW, with a period of 7 seconds and energy hitting 175 (moderate wave energy). The problem? The wind is coming in from the W at 9 mph, making it a cross-shore chop. It’s not clean, and the waves look short and unshaped. Not a standout by any means.
Thursday, August 13th, is the closest we get to something interesting. Morning sees a 4 ft NW swell, period of 8 seconds, and energy at 188 (moderate). But the wind is onshore from the SW at 3 mph, making it pretty poor. The afternoon bump is smaller at 3 ft from the WNW, but that cross-shore wind picks up to 12 mph, killing any chance of quality. The water temp anomaly is noted as “-”, so expect water temps about average for this time of year – nothing wild.
Bottom line: If you’re a beginner, the morning of August 12th might give you a few knee-high sliders on a glass-off, but it’s barely worth the drive. For anyone else, this is a full pass. The swell direction is coming from the WSW to WNW, but the break is exposed to SW, so it’s not even lighting up properly. Honestly, with the wind and chop on the bigger days, this looks more like a kite-surfing setup than a paddle-surfing one. Hang tight, folks. The forecasts can change, but this blank run is pretty typical for a Lourdas summer.
Rusty.

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.

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.
