The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this forecast is a tough one for Lourdata or Lourdas Beach (Kefalonia). We’re looking at a pretty flat run over the next 16 days, so don’t get your hopes up for any real rideable waves.
The whole 16-day window is a write-off for surf. There’s a gap right from the start, with absolutely nothing happening on Thursday 23rd July – the swell is tiny, only 3 ft with a weak 6-second period and combined energy a measly 69. The wind is a cross-off NW breeze at 16 mph, but the wave quality is just plain poor. It’s not worth paddling out for.
We get a few flickers of life, like on Saturday 25th July morning, when there’s 2 ft of NW swell with a 7-second period and energy at 53, with a clean offshore N wind at 12 mph. But even then, the wave comment says “poor surf conditions” – it’s just too small and weak to do anything with. The same story plays out on Sunday 27th morning with a glassy 2 ft, but again, energy is only 14, and it’s not enough.
From Friday 31st July right through to Friday 7th August, we see a big blank run. The swell direction, height, and period all show dashes, meaning zero wave energy. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, so don’t expect any surprises there.
Honestly, this spot is inconsistent, and when it’s like this, it’s more of a lake than a surf break. In a setup like this, with a beach exposed to SW swell but getting almost nothing, the whole thing looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer. No standouts, no highlights. The forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a flat spell, and that’s just how it goes here sometimes.
Stay tuned, but don’t hold your breath.
Rusty.
