The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at the Lourdata or Lourdas Beach stretch for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I’m gonna level with you – this is one of those quiet spells where the ocean just isn’t dialled in. For the best part of the next ten days, we’re looking at tiny, weak waves with hardly any energy behind them. The swell is barely a ripple, mostly coming straight out of the west or northwest with periods around 4 to 7 seconds – that’s short-period, windswell stuff. Combined energy values are mostly sitting at single digits or low double digits, which is about as weak as it gets. The water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year at 80°, so you’ll be warm, but that’s about the only positive.
The first real glimmer of hope doesn’t arrive until Saturday the 25th of July. The morning is where it’s at: a clean 4 ft NW swell with a period of 7 seconds, and a decent offshore wind from the NNE at 12 mph. The combined energy climbs to 205 (moderate), which is the best we’ll see in the whole window. This is the standout session. The waves won’t be massive, but they’ll be rideable and clean for a few hours. If you’re a beginner, this is about your level – anything over 5 ft and you’d be in trouble, so this is fine. The crowd factor is “sometimes” here, so you might share it with a few others, but it won’t be a circus.
After that, the swell fades again. Sunday the 26th sees the swell drop back to 3 ft with light cross-shore wind, and the energy plummets. From there, we’re back into the doldrums. The last week of the forecast is a total blank – a few mornings with glassy conditions but surf so small it’s barely a ripple. There’s a touch of size on the 2nd of August (3 ft NW) but the combined energy is still only 49, so it’s weak.
The big takeaway: if you want a paddle, your session is Saturday morning, 25th July. Chase that clean offshore window, because after that, it’s a long, quiet stretch.
Rusty.
