The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer at Lourdas Beach.
Alright, straight up – this is a pretty grim stretch for us paddle surfers. The whole 16-day window is looking like a flat spell with only tiny scraps of energy. We’re talking about a long run of practically nothing.
The first real sign of life, and I mean just a pulse, shows up on the morning of Thursday the 23rd of July. We get a little 2ft swell from the WNW, with a period of 6 seconds, and combined energy is a weak 35 (moderate wave energy). The wind is cross-offshore from the NW at 15 mph, so the surface will be clean, but it’s barely a wave. The water temperature is a whopping 81°F with a 4°F anomaly, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year.
The only other day that’s even worth mentioning is the morning of Saturday the 25th. A tiny 2ft NW swell, period of 7 seconds, with combined energy at 46 (weak). Light cross-offshore wind from the NE at 3 mph will keep it clean. Again, it’s small and inconsistent.
There’s a bit of a bump on the morning of Monday the 27th of July – a 3ft swell from the west, period 7 seconds, and combined energy climbs to 102 (moderate). But the wind is onshore from the south at 3 mph, which will make it a bit messy. The afternoon sees it turn cross-onshore, and the quality is poor.
The morning of Wednesday the 29th of July offers a 3ft NW swell, period 7 seconds, with 76 combined energy (weak). The wind is light offshore from the north at 3 mph, giving a clean surface. The guidance says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions,” and honestly, that’s as good as it gets here.
The bottom line: Lourdas Beach is inconsistent at the best of times, and this forecast is a dud. There’s no standout session, no real quality. For beginners, the swell never gets above 5ft, so it’s not too big, but there’s barely any wave to ride. The setup is a beach, and with the wind and tiny swell, this looks more interesting for a kite session than a paddle. Keep an eye on the forecasts, but I wouldn’t hold your breath.
Rusty.
