The Lowdown
G'day, I'm Rusty. Let's be straight with you: the outlook for Lourdata or Lourdas Beach is a tough one. Over the next 16 days, there's just no good surf on offer. The finder is showing zero recommendations, and the guidance file confirms it's a beginner spot that's inconsistent and exposed to a SW swell, but the swell energy we're seeing is just too weak or nonexistent for any proper waves.
We start from Saturday, 5th September, with a tiny 1.3ft swell from the NW, but it's a short-period 5-second windswell with only weak energy (7). The water is a stinking 83.5°F—much warmer than normal for this time of year, by over 5.4°F, so that's very unusual. But the surf is poor, with a cross-shore wind that's just messing it up. Sunday the 6th and Monday the 7th are flat with zero energy. Tuesday the 8th you get a glassy morning, but the swell is a pathetic 0.3ft. It's basically a washout.
There's a gap of several days with no recommendations at all. You see a slight pulse on Friday the 11th with a 1ft WSW swell, but it's still weak and short-period. By Saturday the 13th, the swell nudges up to 1.3ft from the SW, and the wind goes cross-offshore, which is clean, but the energy is still low (8). Honestly, this is a lake most days, not a surf break.
The best of a bad bunch looks like Monday the 14th. The morning shows a 2.6ft NW swell with a 7-second period, and combined energy of 62 (moderate). The wind is light and cross-offshore from the ENE, so it's clean. That's about as good as it gets. But it's still a small, weak wave, and the break is inconsistent, so you'll be waiting.
Later in the week, Thursday the 17th has another 2.6ft NW swell, but the wind is a moderate cross-shore, making it lumpy. Not worth the drive. The truth is, for a spot that's mostly flat and inconsistent, this blank run is pretty normal. It's not a place where you hold your breath. Keep an eye on the forecasts, but for now, I'd leave the board at home.

Information about the Lourdata or Lourdas Beach Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Lourdata or Lourdas Beach provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Lourdata or Lourdas Beach can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Lourdata or Lourdas Beach surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Lourdata or Lourdas Beach) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
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. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
