The Lowdown
Alright, grab a coffee, let's talk about Kefalonia. This is Lourdata or Lourdas Beach, and to be honest, it’s a quiet stretch for the next couple of weeks. We’ve got a big gap of no real surf to kick things off, and the water temperature is about average for this time of year, so nothing unusual to worry about there.
For the first ten days, it’s basically a flat spell. From Tuesday the 8th right through to the morning of Wednesday the 17th of September, the swell is tiny – we're talking nothing over 1ft, with most of it being 0.3ft or 0.7ft. The combined energy is pathetic, mostly single-digit numbers, barely registering. It’s all poor surf conditions and not worth getting wet for. You’d be spending more time floating than riding.
Then, on the morning of Thursday the 18th of September, things start to wake up. We get a little bump from the WSW, pushing 4ft, and the combined energy finally climbs to a modest 127. It's surfable, but the waves are described as very ordinary. The wind is light and glassy in the morning, so it’ll be clean, but it’s a weak, short-period swell at 7 seconds. That afternoon, the swell jumps to 6ft from the SSW, with energy hitting 269, but the wind swings cross-onshore and the conditions are marginal. The period is short at 6 seconds, so it won’t be the most lined-up surf.
For the rest of the forecast out to the 23rd of September, it drops right back off into nothingness. Tiny waves and poor conditions return.
So, honestly, there isn’t a standout day in this whole 16-day window. If you’re absolutely desperate, the morning of Thursday the 18th of September is your only real shout, with those glassy conditions making the most of a small, weak swell. But don’t expect much. This is a quiet spell for the area. Forecasts can change, but right now, the board stays in the car.
