Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s on offer for the local stretch.
Well, I gotta be straight with you, this is one of those outlooks where you really don’t wanna rush to get your wetsuit on. We’ve got a pretty long, quiet patch ahead. The first few days are showing a total lack of any kind of real energy. Lourdata or Lourdas Beach is a beginner-friendly spot that’s exposed to the SW, but for the first week and a half it’s flat to tiny. We’re talking weak pulses of swell at best, with the combined energy barely registering, often in the low single-digits right through to mid-month. There’s a few pockets of glassy conditions, like Sunday afternoon the 5th of July, where the wind goes glass and an offshore breeze picks up, but the swell is just too small at 2ft from the WNW with a short period of 7 seconds to get excited about. You’ll be bobbing around on a log.
The water temp right now is 80°F, which is about 5°F warmer than normal for the time of year. That’s a proper anomaly, so it feels like a warm bath out there.
The forecast stays stubbornly small right through the second week. There are a couple of mornings with glassy conditions, like Tuesday the 7th of July and Thursday the 9th of July with 1ft glassy swell, but combined energy is still weak. Even the deeper period swell late in the window, like around Sunday the 19th of July, shows a 2ft WNW swell with a period of 5 secs, and the combined energy is still low. The wind tends to be cross or onshore during the afternoons, and with the open beach setup, it’s not offering anything rideable.
Honestly, for anyone with a kite, the moderate cross-shore winds that pick up on a few afternoons could be more interesting than a paddle. But for us surfers? Gotta say this run of small surf is a real bummer. A near-blank run like this isn’t unheard of for this spot in the summer, so we’re just waiting on a change in the longer-range forecasts. Don’t write it off completely—sometimes things look better in a few days.
Stay tuned, and keep the board waxed just in case.
