The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at the stretch ahead for Lourdas Beach.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you. This is a tough one. The next 16 days are looking pretty flat and sad for proper surfing. The waves just aren't showing up with any real energy. The first few days are a total write-off – we’re talking tiny dribbles of swell, mostly under 2ft, and with a period of only 4 seconds, that’s just wind slop. It’s not surfable. The combined energy is so low it’s barely registering, with values like 9 (9) and 6 (6) in the beginning.
We do have a bit of a gap from now until around the 27th of August where there’s nothing to recommend. Even then, the energy picks up slightly, but we’re still looking at 2ft swell from the NW on Thursday the 27th morning. The wind is light and cross-off from the ENE, which will keep it clean, but the wave height is just too small to get excited about. The water temperature is sitting at 82°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
The rest of the period is more of the same. There’s a tiny uptick in energy on the 2nd of September with a 2ft W swell and a 6-second period, but the wind is cross-on from the SW, putting a chop on it. The strongest energy we see is on the 5th of September, hitting 28 (28) in the morning, but the swell is still only 2ft. It’s a clean morning with a light cross-off wind, but that’s just not enough push to really ride.
Honestly, there’s no standout session here. The swell is too small, the period is too short, and the energy is weak throughout. If you’re a beginner looking for a splash, you might find a tiny wave on a glassy morning, but for anyone wanting a real surf, this is a "wait for the next forecast" kind of report. The setup is so small and weak it’s not even worth mentioning for kiting.
Rusty.
