The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Looking at the next 16 days for Lourdas Beach, and I’ve got to tell you, it’s a dead quiet stretch. There’s nothing worth paddling out for in the whole window.
We start flat on Friday the 21st, and that flatness carries right through the rest of August. Mornings are often clean with light offshore or glassy breezes, but the swell is nowhere to be found. We’re talking wave heights of barely 1 ft, short periods of 4-5 seconds, and combined swell energy stuck in the single digits. That’s not surf.
There’s a hint of something around Sunday the 30th of August. The morning shows a 2 ft swell from the NW with a 6-second period and energy of 40. Light cross-offshore wind from the NNW would keep it clean. But it’s still tiny and weak. The afternoon of the 30th picks up to a 3 ft swell from the NW, 7-second period, and energy of 63, but that’s with a 30 km/h NW wind. Even if it’s cross-offshore, that much wind just ruins it. For a beginner spot, anything over 5 ft is big, so at 3 ft it’s fine for learners, but the quality is poor.
After that, it drops off again into early September. There’s a small bump on Thursday the 3rd with a 3 ft WNW swell, 5-second period, and 36 energy under clean NNW winds in the morning, but it’s brief.
Honestly, the most interesting thing here might be the wind for kitesurfing on the 30th. For paddle surfing, there are no standouts. The water temp starts at 82°, a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. Lourdata or Lourdas Beach needs SW swells to work, but we’re getting mostly NW and W swells, so the direction is off. It’s also an inconsistent spot. This is a normal summer dry spell around here.
Stay patient, things can change.

Information about the Lourdata or Lourdas Beach Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Lourdata or Lourdas Beach provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Lourdata or Lourdas Beach can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Lourdata or Lourdas Beach surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Lourdata or Lourdas Beach) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Lourdata or Lourdas Beach may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
