The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what’s on the table for the next couple of weeks. I’ve gotta be straight with you—this is a tough one to call. Looking over the whole 16-day window for our local spot, Lourdata or Lourdas Beach, the story is pretty simple: there’s just not much to get excited about for paddle surfing.
We’re looking at a long, quiet run here. From now until mid-September, the wave energy is basically a whisper, staying well under 100 in every single forecast. The *combined energy* of all swells is bottoming out, with most days showing values like 4, 2, or even 0. That’s as weak as it gets. You’ll see a few mornings with a touch of glassy or clean conditions, like Tuesday morning with the water sitting at a warm 82°F and the wind dead calm, but with a swell of only 0.7ft and a short 5-second period, it's just flat. The water temp is running a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only highlight.
There’s a slight bounce around Friday the 11th and Saturday the 12th, where the swell nudges up to 2ft to 2ft from the WSW and W, with a period around 6-7 seconds. The combined energy gets up to 48 and 25, which is still weak. You’ll have clean conditions on the Friday morning with a light offshore from the North at 3 mph, but the swell is tiny and the period is short, so shape won’t be there. By the afternoon, a moderate cross-shore wind kicks up and messes with what little there is. Saturday morning looks cleaner with a light cross-offshore, but again, it’s just not enough water moving to call it a surf.
The rest of the run into the second week is more of the same: tiny 0.3ft to 1ft swells, short periods, and no real punch. For a spot that is *inconsistent* and exposed to SW swells, this is a normal blank run for the area. The wind will be nice and clean on a few mornings (like the 15th with glassy conditions and a 1ft SSE swell), but that swell direction is coming from the wrong quarter for this break and the energy is pitiful.
Honestly, if you’ve got a kite and the wind is blowing moderate from the WNW (like on the 13th afternoon), the beach setup might look more interesting for that than for paddle surfing. But for a wave on a surfboard? There’s just nothing on offer here. These long gaps of no recommendations are par for the course, and forecasts can change, but as it stands, keep the board in the car and go for a swim.
Rusty.
