The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here. Look, I've gotta be straight with you – this 16-day window for Lourdas Beach is a tough one. We're looking at a real flat spell, so if you're hanging for a wave, you'll be waiting a while. The first solid sign of anything rideable doesn't pop up until the very end.
The Overall Pattern
Honestly, the whole period is a bit of a bust. The combined wave energy is weak, barely cracking double digits most days, and the swell heights are tiny. The best we see is a flicker of 3ft from the WNW on the 31st of August, but even that's rated as poor surf. The water's a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 82°, but that's about the only highlight.
The Long Wait
From the 24th of August right through to the 8th of September, there's just nothing to recommend. We've got days of glassy conditions and offshore breezes, but with no swell to work with, it's a frustrating wait. The forecast is consistent in its flatness, which is pretty normal for this area in a quiet spell. It's the kind of run that makes you want to check the charts again tomorrow.
The Only Glimmer
On the 31st of August, Monday morning, we get a tiny bit of hope. There's a 3ft swell from the WNW, with a period of 6 seconds, and it's glassy. Combined energy hits 47 (weak), but that's about as good as it gets. The wind is calm, so the surface would be clean. But 3ft of short-period swell on an exposed beach like Lourdas is going to be gutless and hard to catch. It's not a standout, it's just the best of a bad bunch.
The Verdict
If you're a beginner, the tiny, clean waves on the 31st of August morning might be worth a very gentle paddle, but don't expect much. For anyone else, this is a two-week stretch to leave the board in the car and go for a swim. The forecasts can change, but right now, there's nothing to rush for.
Rusty.
