The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Well, I’ve gotta be straight with you—this outlook for the next 16 days is a tough one. We’re looking at a long, flat stretch with barely a ripple for most of the period, and it’s not until the very end that we finally see a bit of life. So, hang tight, because there’s a lot of waiting ahead.
The first real chance to even think about wetting a line comes on the morning of Tuesday, 25 August. Before that, from now through Monday, 24 August, it’s all poor surf conditions—tiny bumps, flat spells, and no real swell to speak of. The water temp at Lourdata or Lourdas Beach is about average for the time of year, nothing unusual. The combined energy is weak, hitting just 181 early on the 25th, but the swell is a messy 4 ft from the WNW with a short period of 7 seconds. That’s not going to give you much push, and the waves will be pretty ordinary. Still, the morning glass with a light 3 mph easterly breeze will keep it clean, so if you’re desperate for a paddle, you might find a few crumbly lines. But honestly, don’t expect much.
The afternoon of the 25th turns choppy with a cross-shore wind, and the 26th morning brings a weak onshore wind, so that’s a write-off. By the 26th afternoon and into the 27th, we’ve got a fresh cross-off breeze from the NW at 19–22 mph, but the swell drops to 3 ft and the energy plummets (83–107). The waves are clean but tiny and weak—not worth the drive.
After that, from the 28th onward, it’s back to flat, glassy mornings with no swell to speak of. The 30th morning has a tiny 0.7 ft ripple, but that’s it. This spot is inconsistent and rarely breaks, and this 16-day stretch proves it. If you’re a kite surfer, the strong cross-off winds on the 26th and 27th afternoons might be more interesting than the paddle surf, but for the rest of us, it’s a blank run. Don’t get too bummed—forecasts can change, and this area tends not to stay this poor for long.
Rusty.
