The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you about Lourdas Beach. The whole 16-day window is a quiet one, no real standouts to speak of. The forecast is basically a flat spell with a few tiny pulses that just won’t deliver. Here’s the full picture.
We start off with a bit of bump on Wednesday the 26th of August, with a weak 2ft swell from the west, but it’s a short 5-second period with a cross-offshore wind. The combined energy is just 14 (weak), and the water is sitting at 83°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year. The surf is poor, nothing to get excited about.
Thursday the 27th brings a slightly bigger 2ft swell from the northwest with a 6-second period, but the cross-off wind keeps it messy. Combined energy reaches 43 (still weak). It’s a no-go.
Friday the 28th has a glassy morning but the swell is only 2ft from the northwest. That glassy wind is a positive, but the wave height is just too small. Combined energy is 16 (weak). The afternoon gets chopped up.
The rest of the period through to Thursday the 10th of September is a real flat run. The swell heights barely touch 2ft, with periods below 8 seconds and combined energy values bouncing between 0 and 58 (weak). The winds sometimes go glassy or cross-off, but there’s just no push. The best we see is on Saturday the 5th of September, with a 2ft, 7-second swell from the northwest and a clean cross-off breeze, but the combined energy is only 58 (weak) – it’s still a poor surf condition.
Since the break is an exposed beach that rarely gets consistent swell, this kind of blank run is pretty normal for the area. There’s no standout day, no break to chase. The small, weak swell and short periods mean you’re better off doing something else. If you’re desperate, the glassy mornings on Friday the 28th of August or Sunday the 30th of August might give you a tiny knee-high ripple, but don’t expect a wave.
Rusty.

A general guide to surfing at Lourdata or Lourdas Beach can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Lourdata or Lourdas Beach surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period.

Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Lourdata or Lourdas Beach may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself.
