The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s be honest with you right off the bat: the next couple of weeks are looking flat out abysmal for Lourdata or Lourdas Beach. If you’re jonesing for a wave, you might want to find another hobby for a while.
We're looking at a long stretch of tiny, weak surf. The swell energy is almost non-existent, with values hovering in the single digits and teens for most of the period – that’s just weak, tired energy. The swell is mostly coming from the west/southwest, which isn't ideal for this exposed break, and the periods are short, 4 to 7 seconds. That’s just windswell junk, not anything with any push.
The first week is a total write-off. Mornings are often glassy with that light north/northwest wind, which will make the ocean look pretty, but with waves only 0.3ft to 1ft, it's not surf. You'd be floating on a lake. The afternoons pick up a bit of cross-shore breeze, but it’s still just ankle biters.
There’s a slight bump around the 29th of August, a Saturday. The swell picks up a touch to 2ft in the morning and 3ft in the afternoon, with the period stretching to 6 and 7 seconds. The energy also jumps to 39 and then 77, which sounds more promising, but it's still poor surf conditions. The wind is howling out of the northwest at 22 mph, which will chop it all up. It’s not worth the drive.
The 30th of August Sunday morning has some size (2ft), but the energy is weak and the wind is onshore. The glassy Sunday afternoon drops the swell right back down. Then we’re back to nothing as we roll into September.
Honestly, the only thing this forecast is good for is a paddle on a flat day. There are huge gaps of nothing here. Don't get your hopes up for a sneaky set. It’s just a dead stretch. Forecasts can change, but right now, there is nothing on the radar worth paddling out for.
Stay patient.
Rusty.
