The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: this patch of coast is in a long, flat spell. For the next ten days or more, there’s just nothing doing. The water’s glassy and the wind’s light, but the swell is almost non-existent. We’re lookin’ at a whole lotta nothing from now until the first week of August. It’s one of those stretches where you leave the board in the car and just enjoy the sun.
The first chance of anything worth paddling out for shows up on the morning of Saturday, August 9 at Lourdata or Lourdas Beach. That morning, the swell nudges up to about 3 ft from the northwest, with a period of 7 seconds – not long, not short, just mediocre. The wind is glass though, so the surface will be clean as a mirror. The combined wave energy is weak, coming in at 78 – hardly enough to get excited about. The water is running 81°F, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year – a solid 4°F above the norm. That’s notable: the sea feels like a bath.
But don’t plan your week around it. That Saturday morning is really the only half-decent window. By afternoon, the wind swings cross-shore at 12 mph from the west-northwest, and the swell drops back to 2 ft. After that, it’s back to tiny, weak leftovers.
This break is inconsistent by nature, and this forecast proves it. There’s nothing for beginners, nothing for experts – just a glassy, small-wave hiccup on the second Saturday. It’s the kind of setup that might interest a kite surfer more than a paddle surfer, with those clean but tiny cross-off and glassy windows and a beach that’s exposed to a weak swell.
Forget the first week, keep your eye on the August 9th morning, and even then, keep expectations low. If you’ve got a longboard and patience, you might find a fun little nugget.
