Table - best surf conditions forecast for Lourdata or Lourdas Beach over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you about Lourdata or Lourdas Beach. This 16-day window is a tough one. The swell is tiny, the energy is next to nothing, and the vast majority of the time the conditions are just flat or poor. If you’re hoping for a proper surf, you’re looking at a long wait. The first real chance to even paddle out comes Thursday afternoon, July 9th, but even that is a real struggle.
We’ve got a long stretch of minimal surf here. After the first little blip, there are days on end with nothing rideable. The whole run from Thursday afternoon through to the end of the window is a battle against tiny, weak waves. The best we can say is the water is much warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 80.4°, but that’s about the only comfort.
On Thursday afternoon, July 9th, there’s a tiny 1ft swell from the west with a period of just 5 seconds. The combined energy is a weak 5, and with a cross-shore wind from the WNW at 12 mph, it’s messy. It’s not really surfable. Friday morning, July 10th, is glassy with a 0.7ft swell from the WSW, but it’s still too small to do anything. The rest of that weekend and into the next week is a write-off, with flat spells and only occasional tiny bumps.
Moving into the second week, the pattern doesn’t change. Tuesday morning, July 14th, offers a tiny 2ft swell from the northwest (period 7 seconds) with clean cross-offshore winds from the east at 3 mph. The energy is still weak at 32. That’s as good as it gets, but it’s still ankle-snapping stuff. The rest of July is a mix of glassy mornings and small, weak windswell, peaking at 2ft at best. The combined energy never gets past 13 for the rest of the run. Honestly, for a spot that’s exposed to the southwest, the swell direction is often wrong, and when something does show up, it’s too short-period and weak to bother with.
There is no standout here. This is a blank run for the area. The setup is more interesting for a paddleboard or a swim than a proper surf. Keep the board waxed and wait for a better forecast.

A general guide to surfing at Lourdata or Lourdas Beach can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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.
