The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on tap for Lourdas Beach over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough stretch. Gonna be a whole lot of flat, glassy water for days on end. We're looking at a pretty serious dry spell from now until around the 5th of August. You'll see some tiny, practically unridable bumps of less than a foot, but nothing with any push or energy behind it. The combined energy barely registers (1). The water is sitting at a warm 78°, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so at least it’s nice to be in.
There’s a slight pulse of swell trying to build around the 7th of August, but it’s weak and short-period stuff. We're talking 0.7ft to 1ft from the WNW with periods of just 3 seconds. That’s not enough to do anything with, and the afternoons get chopped up by a moderate breeze. The energy is still pathetic (1 to 2).
The real tease comes on Thursday the 13th of August. The morning shows some potential with a 2ft swell from the west, but it’s the afternoon that has the best chance. We’ve got a 3ft swell out of the WNW with a period of 6 seconds. The combined energy finally gets into double digits (69), which is still weak but a massive step up from the nothing we’ve seen. The morning has light offshore breezes from the ESE, which could make for some clean if small waves. Even then, Lourdata or Lourdas Beach is an exposed beach break, and with the swell direction being a bit north of the optimum SW, it won't be at its best. The afternoon gets a bit messy with a cross-shore wind.
The standout here, and I'm using that term loosely, is that Thursday afternoon the 13th of August. It’s the only time the swell height gets close to 3ft and the energy has any real kick to it. If you are absolutely desperate to get wet, that’s your window. Anything before that, you’re just floating around on a lake.
Stay patient, folks. Forecasts can change.
Rusty.
