The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s be real – the outlook for Lourdata or Lourdas Beach is a dry one for the next 16 days. The swell is tiny, real tiny, and most of the time the wind is side-shore or onshore. We’re looking at a long stretch of very small, weak surf. The water temp is about 80°, which is normal for the time of year, so at least it’s warm out there.
We kick off on Thursday, August 6th, with a glassy morning, but the swell is only 0.7ft from the west, period of 3 seconds – that’s just a lake. Combined energy is a measly (1). It’s completely flat for a paddle, let alone a surf. The afternoon turns cross-shore with a cross-chop from the WNW at 12 mph, and swell is still 1ft. This is not surfable. The same story holds through Friday, August 7th, and the weekend. The morning of Saturday, August 8th, is glassy again, but the wave height is just 0.7ft.
We get a few days in the middle of the week with some clean morning conditions – a light cross-offshore from the ENE. The swell is still tiny, barely 1ft. The combined energy never gets above (4). It’s basically a flat spell. This entire first week is a write-off if you’re looking to actually ride a wave.
The longest gap is this whole stretch with no real recommendations. It’s a dry spell. The only flicker of something close to rideable is on Thursday, August 20th, when we see a morning with a risk of thunderstorms and a cross-offshore wind from the NW at 12 mph. The swell picks up to 1ft from the WNW, period of 4 seconds, with combined energy hitting (6). That is the biggest swell of the whole forecast, but even then, it’s knee-high at best. The wind is clean, but the size is just not there for a proper session. The afternoon of the 20th drops back to 0.3ft.
After that, Friday, August 21st, the wind cranks up from the NNW at 22 mph, cross-offshore, but the swell is back to 0.7ft. It’s just a windy, flat day. For the entire 16-day window, the surf is poor. There is no standout. The setup is more interesting for a swim or a paddleboard than a surfboard. The consistent message is “poor surf conditions” across every single record.
This is one of those periods where the ocean just isn’t playing ball. It’s rare for it to be this flat for this long, but it happens. Keep an eye on the forecasts, things can change.
