The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Lourdata or Lourdas Beach over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – it’s a flat spell. This exposed southwest-facing beach is inconsistent at the best of times, and for the first few days we’re looking at a whole lot of nothing. Tuesday the 4th of August through to Sunday the 10th of August is basically a write-off for paddle surfing. The combined swell energy is sitting at zero (0) on several days, and when we do get a ripple, it’s tiny – like 0.7ft to 1ft from the west or northwest with a period of just 2 to 5 seconds. That’s windswash, not surf. Winds are mostly cross or cross-off, and while the water is a warm 79°F (which is about normal for this time of year, anomaly of +0.9°F), there’s just no juice to work with.
Now, as we push into the second week, things get a little more interesting, but it’s still not gonna set the world on fire. The best chance to wet a line comes around Monday the 18th of August. Tuesday morning the 18th finally shows a tiny pulse of life: a 1ft swell from the west-northwest, with a period of 5 seconds and a combined energy of 11 (11). That’s weak, but it’s the biggest we’ve seen. The wind is glassy out of the east at 3 mph, so the surface will be clean as a whistle. It’s still a beginner-level wave at best, and the break is inconsistent, so you’ll be waiting for sets. The afternoon of Tuesday the 18th shows a similar 1ft from the west, period of 4 seconds, combined energy 7 (7), with a cross-off wind from the northwest. That might offer a few crumbly little runners.
Honestly, nothing here is a standout. The entire 16-day window is a struggle for surf. The break is just too exposed and inconsistent for this kind of fluky, small swell. If you’re desperate, the glassy Tuesday morning of the 18th of August is your best bet for a clean, tiny wave. But for real surf? This stretch is a kite-and-sunbathe week, not a surf week. The blank run is pretty normal for this area when the swell windows don’t line up.
Rusty.
