The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here, and I gotta be straight with you – the next 16 days at Lourdata or Lourdas Beach are looking like a write-off. We're looking at a long, dry stretch with barely a ripple worth paddling for. There's a real gap from right now, the 19th of July, all the way through to the 24th, with nothing but tiny, crumbly waves and no real energy. It's a tough run for a spot that's already inconsistent.
Right now, on Sunday the 19th, we've got a tiny 0.6ft wave from the west with a weak period of 4 seconds. The combined energy is a measly 1, and it's got a cross-shore wind from the west at 12 mph. That's about as flat and messy as it gets. The water temperature is 80.8°, which is a solid 3.6° warmer than usual for this time of year – that's a pretty notable anomaly, the water is much warmer than normal.
The week ahead is just more of the same. Monday the 20th is glassy but flat, and Tuesday the 21st is dead calm but also flat. Wednesday the 22nd and Thursday the 23rd flirt with a tiny 1ft to 2.6ft wave, but it's short-period slop and the energy is still weak (47 for that 2.6ft wave). The winds are mostly cross or cross-off, so it's not even clean.
Finally, on Saturday morning the 25th, we get a bit of a pulse. A 3.9ft swell from the west-northwest with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy hits 189, which is moderate, and the wind is offshore from the northeast at 3 mph, making for clean conditions. The file calls it "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions," and that's about right. It's a small, short-period groundswell that will be inconsistent, but for a beginner-level spot, it's the one and only chance to get a wet suit on. The crowds are listed as "sometimes," so you might have a few others with the same idea.
After that, it's back to the doldrums. Sunday the 26th, Monday the 27th, all the way through to the 3rd of August, the swell drops back to tiny 0.3ft to 1.6ft stuff with no energy. It's a classic blank run for this area. Keep an eye on the forecasts, but for now, don't bother packing the board.

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