The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for our stretch of coast.
Plainly speaking, we are in for a long, dry spell. The next week and a half is going to be a tough watch for anyone with a surfboard. The first recommendation doesn’t show up until the morning of Thursday, 23rd July, and even then, it’s a pretty marginal affair. Before that, from Thursday 16th right through to Wednesday 22nd, there’s essentially nothing doing. We’re talking about a full seven days with no surf worth mentioning – flat, or with tiny little ripples that won't even tickle a longboard. The water temp is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year at 80°, but that’s small comfort when there’s no waves.
Now, that first glimmer of hope comes on Thursday morning, 23rd July. Lourdata or Lourdas Beach sees a little pulse of swell coming in from the NW at 3ft, with a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy is weak (75), so it’s not going to have any punch. The wind is glassy from the NE at 3 mph, which is a huge positive – it will be clean as a whistle. But the reality is, this is a very small, weak wave, and with the break being inconsistent, it’s really only one for a beginner to bob around on. It’s not a standout; it’s just the only thing on the board.
After that, we slip back into the doldrums. The next few days show nothing but tiny, weak swells and poor surf conditions. Friday 24th and Saturday 25th offer nothing you’d paddle out for. The morning of Monday 27th has a glassy 1ft from the west, but again, that’s barely a ripple.
The best of a very lean period comes on Tuesday morning, 28th July. There’s a bit more energy coming through – 2ft from the west with a 6-second period, and the combined energy nudges up to 24. The wind is a light cross-offshore from the NNW at 6 mph, so it should be clean. Still, 2ft is small, and the period is short, so don’t expect any power. It’s the pick of the bunch, but that’s not saying much.
The morning of Wednesday 30th July offers a gentle offshore breeze from the NNE at 9 mph with 1ft from the NW, so clean faces, but tiny.
Honestly, if you’re a paddle surfer, this is a tough stretch. The swell is just not there. If conditions like this persist, the exposed beach setup might even hold more interest for the kite crew than us. Stick with it, though – forecasts can change, and it tends not to stay this poor for long around here.
