The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on offer for Lourdas Beach.
To be straight with you, this is a tough stretch. We've got a 16-day window, but honestly, the first week and a half is a write-off for any real surfing. The swell energy is almost non-existent, barely hitting double digits, and the wave heights are just tiny little bumps. You're looking at a long patch of nothing here until we get towards the middle of September.
The water's sitting around 82°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least you won't be cold while you're waiting.
The only flicker of life comes on Friday the 11th of September. The morning starts off tiny and glassy with 2ft from the WSW, but it's the afternoon that gives us the only real pulse of the whole forecast. The swell bumps up to 3ft from the WSW, with period stretching out to 7 seconds. The combined energy hits 82 (moderate). The wind will be a cross-shore breeze from the west, so the surface won't be perfect, but it's the only time we see any real push in the water. Then it's right back to tiny stuff for the rest of the run.
So, the standout here is honestly the only game in town: the afternoon of Friday, 11th September. It's not going to be epic, but for Lourdas, that's about as good as it gets in this forecast window. For everyone else, it's a long wait.
Rusty, signing off.
