The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let me break it down in feet and miles for you.
Looking at Lourdata or Lourdas Beach, it’s a tough stretch of weather. The whole 16-day window is mostly flat, with barely a bump worth getting out of bed for. The first real chance to see any surf doesn’t come until the morning of Wednesday, July 23rd, and even then, it’s a struggle.
The water is sitting at 80°F, a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, which is nice for a swim but not helping the waves.
We’ve got a big gap from the start all the way to the 22nd of July with nothing. Then, on Wednesday afternoon, July 22nd, we see a pulse of 3ft from the WNW with a period of 6 seconds. The combined energy of all swells is weak (77), and it’s clean with a cross-offshore breeze, but the waves are still poor. It’s a beach setup, exposed to the SW, and the wind is a moderate 16 mph from the NW. Honestly, with that wind and the small, weak swell, it looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
The only day that might get you wet is Thursday, July 23rd, in the morning. It’s a 3ft NW swell, period of 7 seconds, with a cross-offshore breeze and light airs. The combined energy is still weak (88), and it’s described as “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” It’s a beginner-level wave, so if you’re learning and don’t mind ankle-biters, you could get a few. But don’t expect any barrels.
After that, the swell fades fast. The 25th of July shows a bigger bump—5ft from the WNW on Saturday morning with a period of 8 seconds and moderate energy (387)—but it’s accompanied by a strong 25 mph cross-offshore wind and a risk of thunderstorms. That’s messy and only for experts if you’re brave enough to deal with the wind and rain.
The rest of the window is a desert. From the 26th of July all the way through to the 1st of August, it’s either flat or tiny dribble with no energy. The winds are mostly clean, but there’s nothing to ride.
Bottom line: The best you’re going to get is a tiny, average wave on the morning of Thursday, July 23rd for beginners. Otherwise, it’s a long, flat summer for this spot. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a hard pass.
Rusty.
