Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for Lourdata or Lourdas Beach.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough one. The next week and a half is looking pretty flat. From now until around the 17th of July, we're talking barely a ripple. Most days show zero swell energy, and even when there's a little bump, it's tiny, around 0.3 ft to 1.0 ft, with short, weak periods of 4 to 5 seconds. The combined energy is in the single digits (1-6), just a whisper. The water temp is a warm 80.4°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least the paddle out will be comfortable, but there's just nothing to ride.
We do get a few glassy mornings – like the 11th, 14th, 15th, and 16th of July – with the wind dropping out completely. It's a tease, because the ocean is flat as a pancake. You could stand on your board and not move an inch. For a beginner spot that's already inconsistent, this is a real dead spell.
The first real sign of life comes on the 17th of July. The morning shows a small 1.3 ft swell from the NW, with a 6-second period. The combined energy jumps to 17 – still weak, but it's something. The wind is light from the ESE, so it's cross-shore. It won't be great, but you might find a knee-high wave if you're desperate.
The real glimmer of hope, and the only thing worth circling on the calendar, is the 23rd and 24th of July. On the 23rd of July, Thursday afternoon, we see the swell start to build. The combined energy hits 63 (moderate) with a 3.0 ft swell from the W, and a 6-second period. By the 24th of July, Friday morning, we get the best of the run: a 2.0 ft swell from the NW, period stretching to 7 seconds, and the combined energy at 46. The wind is offshore from the NW, which means clean, groomed waves. This is the standout. It's a long way out, so don't book the time off work yet, but that Friday morning is the one to watch for a few clean, waist-high waves at Lourdas Beach.
After that, it drops off again. The 16-day window is mostly a bust, with just that one little window of potential on the 24th. For a spot that's already inconsistent, a blank run like this is pretty normal for this time of year, but forecasts can always change.
