The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the outlook for the next 16 days is a quiet one. We’re looking at a long stretch of tiny, weak swell, and honestly, for most of this period, it’s going to be a write-off for proper surfing. The only break on the radar is Lourdata or Lourdas Beach (Kefalonia).
Right from the start, the first recommendation isn’t until September 7th, and even then, it’s barely a whisper. That morning, there’s a tiny 0.7ft swell from the west-northwest, with a short period of 4 seconds. The combined energy is minimal (1), and while the winds are light and cross-offshore, giving clean conditions, it’s just not enough to paddle for. The afternoon of the 7th is even smaller, with a slight onshore breeze messing up the little bumps.
September 8th and 9th are basically flat. The 10th is the same story – nothing doing. There’s a brief moment on the morning of September 11th where it gets glassy, and we see a tiny 1.0ft swell from the west-southwest, but the energy is still only 4. It’s clean, but it’s not surf. The 12th through the 14th of September stay in this same flat, limp pattern.
The morning of September 15th finally shows a bit of life – a 1ft northwest swell with a 6-second period, and the combined energy bumps up to 9. The winds are light and cross-offshore, keeping it clean. Still, for a beach break that’s exposed to the southwest, this northwest swell won’t have much push. The morning of September 16th is glassy too, but only 1.0ft.
The morning of September 18th is the best we’re going to get. A 2ft northwest swell, with a period of 4 seconds, gives a combined energy of 9. The winds are light and cross-offshore, so it’ll be clean. But here’s the thing – this spot is inconsistent, and anything under 2ft with a period that short is only going to be tiny, slopey whitewater. It’s a beginner wave at best, and even then, you’ll be scratching for a ride. The morning of September 19th has a similar setup with a 1ft swell and offshore winds, but again, it’s marginal.
So, the honest truth? There are no real standouts in this 16-day window. The swell is too small, the power is too weak, and the period is too short to be anything but a frustrating session. This is a pretty normal blank run for this area when the weather patterns don’t line up. Don’t get too down – gaps like this happen, and the forecast can change. Keep an eye on it, but for now, leave the board in the bag.
Rusty.
