Table - best surf conditions forecast for Lourdata or Lourdas Beach over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s on the table for the coming days. To be honest, we’re looking at a pretty flat stretch ahead with nothing to get too excited about for quite a while.
Right now at Lourdas Beach, the water’s coming in at 80° – that’s much warmer than usual for this time of year, a real standout. But the swell? Barely a whisper. Over the next week, we’ve got a long gap with no surf worth mentioning. The first proper bump doesn’t show until Thursday morning, July 16th, and even then it’s tiny – just 1 ft from the WNW with a short period of 5 seconds and weak combined energy (10). Winds are light from the ESE, keeping the surface fairly tidy, but the wave quality is still poor, it’s inconsistent, and it’s a beginner spot anyway.
The most promising window shows up on Saturday, July 18th. The morning session is glassy with 2 ft from the west, period 6 seconds and combined energy up to 17 – still weak but the best we’ve got. By the afternoon, the swell builds a touch to 3 ft from the west, the energy climbs to 45, and you’ve got a light cross-onshore breeze which won’t ruin it. The optimum swell direction here is SW, so it’s not a perfect match, but it’s close enough to manage.
Sunday morning, July 19th, is another highlight – glassy conditions, 3 ft from the NW, period 6 seconds, and combined energy hitting 60. That’s the biggest and most energetic swell in the whole outlook. Winds are glassy from the NNE, so it’ll be clean. The swell direction is NW though, not the preferred SW, so it won’t line up perfectly – but for a beach break with no crowds likely, it’ll be worth a look for a beginner-friendly session.
After that, we’re back to small stuff again, with a few mornings offering glassy conditions but weak 1 ft to 2 ft waves. Nothing really stands out as a must-paddle situation. If you’re after something to ride, your best bets are Saturday July 18th and Sunday July 19th mornings – the rest of the stretch is pretty quiet.
