The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's get real about the coming weeks.
Honestly, this is a tough stretch for Lourdata or Lourdas Beach (Greece). The whole 16-day window looks pretty flat and uninspiring, with the only real pulses of swell being too small to get excited about. The water is sitting around 83°, which is a good couple of degrees warmer than usual for this time of year, so that's a nice bonus if you're just having a swim.
The first real week is a write-off. We're looking at tiny, short-period windswell that barely registers any energy. The only standout, if you can call it that, is Saturday the 5th of September. There's a slight bump in energy with a combined energy reading of (37) from the NW. The morning is looking best with a clean 2ft swell from the NW. It's a short period though, around 7 seconds, so it's not going to have much push. Still, with light offshore winds from the N, it'll be the cleanest the beach gets all period. Even then, it's strictly for the longboard or a foily just to get a slide. The afternoon gets a bit of a cross-shore chop, which won't help.
After that, we go into another long gap. The 9th of September, Wednesday morning, has a tiny bit of energy again with a combined energy of (33) and glassy conditions, but it's still only 2ft from the W with a short 6-second period. Not worth a paddle. The rest of the second week is flatter than a pancake with next to no energy at all. This break is inconsistent at the best of times, and this forecast run is a classic example of a blank spell for the area. It's not a great run for paddle surfing, but if the wind is up, you could probably get the kite out on one of those cleaner afternoons.
Rusty.
