The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer.
Honestly, mate, I’ve got to be straight with you – this is a tough stretch for Lourdas Beach. The next 16 days are looking flat or near-flat, and there’s no surf worth paddling out for. The first hint of anything comes on the morning of Thursday 16th July, but it’s a total dud with zero swell. The whole opening week is a write-off. We scrape up a tiny 0.7ft to 1.0ft of weak, short-period windswell and the combined wave energy barely registers (mostly 1-4, occasionally 14). That’s not surf, that’s a ripple. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing weird there.
The only day that teases a little is Saturday 25th July, with the morning showing 2ft of swell from the WNW, with a period of 6 seconds, and glassy conditions. The combined energy hits 26 – still weak, but at least it’s the biggest we’ll see. Even then, it’s not enough to call it a proper wave. By the afternoon it drops back to 1ft with a cross-shore wind. After that, it’s back to nothing. There’s a long gap of several days with no recommendations at all after the 25th, carrying us right to the end of July.
This is just one of those blank spells for the spot. Forecasts can change, but right now, there’s nothing to get excited about. If you’re desperate, maybe bring a longboard and a whole lot of patience for the 25th, but honestly, the kite surfers might have more fun on the breezy afternoons.
Rusty.
