The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it. Gotta be honest, this stretch looks like a long, flat, sleepy one for Lourdata or Lourdas Beach. We’ve got a 16-day window to work with, but most of it is a write-off, so don’t get your hopes up.
The whole first week is a total dud. From now through the 21st of September, it’s almost nothing but tiny, weak dribble. The combined swell energy barely scratches into double digits, sitting mostly below 10 – that's the sound of a flat ocean (energy around 5 or less). Even when there’s a sliver of swell, it's short-period windswell or weak junk around 1ft. You’ll be staring at a lake most days. The only thing worth mentioning is that the water is cooking at 83.7°, which is *much warmer than normal* for the time of year – that’s nearly 4° above average, so a swim is lovely, but a surf it is not.
Things finally start to look a little interesting on Tuesday the 22nd of September. That morning we see a bit of life kick in – a 5ft swell from the south with a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy jumps to a moderate 228, so there’s finally some push. The wind is light and cross-offshore from the east, keeping things clean. That morning window is the standout of the whole outlook. It’s not epic, but after almost two weeks of nothing, it’s a solid window for a longboard or a fun log. The afternoon gets a touch bigger at 5.5ft, but the wind goes cross-shore and the quality drops.
After that, it fades fast again through the 23rd and 24th, back into the piddly 1.3ft to 3ft range and weak energy, so don’t plan a trip around the tail end. The 22nd morning is the one true standout if you’re desperate to get wet. Crowds are listed as "sometimes" at Lourdas, so you might have company, but it won’t be a zoo.
Stay safe out there.
