The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here. We've got a flat spell ahead for the Lourdas Beach area. The next 16 days are looking pretty grim – there's nothing on the table that I'd even call a surf. The whole run is a big gap of no real recommendations, so you're looking at a long stretch of calm water.
Lourdata or Lourdas Beach is your only option, and it's exposed to the SW, but the swell just isn't showing up. We're talking teeny tiny dribbles, mostly 0.3 ft to 2 ft, and the period is short – around 4 to 6 seconds. That's not enough to push a wave. The energy is weak, with a combined energy of all swells directed here barely ever getting past 20-30. It's a beach break and it's inconsistent, so it tends not to break much at all.
The water's a touch warmer than normal at 80°F, which is a bit over a degree above average for the time of year. The first few mornings are glassy, with calm winds from the NNE or NNW, but with no swell, it's just a flat lake. Friday afternoon, July 17th, has a bit of a cross-shore breeze, but still nothing to ride.
Come Thursday, July 23rd, the wind picks up from the NW at 12 mph, giving clean conditions, but the swell is still pitiful. Friday morning, July 24th, is dead calm and glassy, but again, barely a ripple. The wind stays strong from the NW on the 25th, up to 19 mph, but the swell is still just 1 ft – that's not surf, that's a wobbly bit of water. The whole period is a write-off. There's no standout, no best day, nothing. If you're desperate for a paddle in the ocean, you might be out of luck. The setup looks more interesting for a kite than a paddleboard.
Rusty.
