The Lowdown
Alright, grab your board and listen up. It’s Rusty here, and I’ve got the lowdown on the surf for the next couple of weeks for Lourdata or Lourdas Beach. It’s a pretty flat stretch ahead, so let’s not beat around the bush.
Right off the bat, we’re looking at a long, dry spell. From now through the first week of September, there’s just nothing doing. We’re talking ankle-slashers and dribble at best. The energy in the water is almost non-existent, with combined swell energy values mostly in single digits, sometimes a weak 12 or 44. The wind is all over the place, but mostly cross or onshore, and while the mornings are often glassy, there’s just no swell to push through. A few of those glassy mornings on the 24th and 25th will be beautiful, but it’s a lake out there, not a surf spot. We’ve got a bit of a bump on the 27th morning, a clean 2ft from the NW, but it’s still a weak energy (44) and just not enough to get excited over. This stretch is a write-off for a surf. If you’re desperate for a paddle, you could find a knee-high ripple on the 30th morning, but that’s about it.
The water temp at this break is running about 83°, which is a touch warmer than what’s normal for this time of year. It’s noticeable but not crazy.
The first real sign of life shows up on Sunday the 6th of September. The morning session is where it’s at. We get a clean 4ft of west swell, with light winds and a glassy surface. The combined energy jumps up to 149, so there’s finally a bit of push behind it. This is the standout of the whole period, folks. The swell direction is from the W, which is close to that SW optimum for this exposed spot. It’s small, only 4ft, so it’s not a beast, but it will be clean and rideable. This is the one to put in the diary.
After that, it fades again. Monday the 7th and Tuesday the 8th drop right back down to 1ft-2ft. The morning of the 8th has some clean conditions with a cross-offshore breeze, but the energy is weak.
So, there it is. One clean window, one day. It’s not much, but it’s honest. For a spot that’s usually inconsistent, this kind of blank run isn’t too surprising. Don’t hold your breath, but keep an eye on that Sunday forecast. Things can always change.
Rusty out.
