The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer around Lourdata.
To be straight with you, the outlook for the next couple of weeks is a flat spell. We’re looking at a long stretch of barely any rideable surf. The guidance shows Lourdas Beach as the only option, and it’s an inconsistent, exposed beach break that needs a good SW swell to really fire. Unfortunately, the forecast just isn’t delivering that.
We start the period on Monday, 10 August, with a tiny 1 ft swell from the NW, but the period is a weak 5 seconds and the combined energy is next to nothing at (5). The wind is a light cross-off from the ENE, but the waves are just too small and weak to bother with. The water temp is 82°, which feels a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
The next few days are a real struggle. Tuesday, 11 August, starts glassy but there’s no swell at all. Wednesday the 12th has a tiny 0.7 ft from the WNW at 4 seconds, and we see similar non-event numbers right through the week. A few mornings offer clean conditions with light cross-off or glassy winds, but the swell is consistently below 1 ft and the period is short. The combined energy never gets out of single digits, peaking at a measly (7) on the 25th.
A few little bumps appear around Saturday, 22 August, with a 1 ft NW swell at 4 seconds and combined energy of (4), but it’s still far from worth a paddle. The best chance of anything all period is probably the morning of Tuesday, 25 August, where we get 1 ft from the WSW at 5 seconds, combined energy of (7), and glassy conditions. It’s the best of a bad bunch, but honestly, it’s still poor surf.
For a beginner, the water is warm and it’s safe, but there’s just no wave power. For anyone else, this is a kite-only kind of scene when the wind fills in from the WNW in the afternoons, but not for paddle surfing. The whole 16-day window is a run of flat or near-flat conditions. It’s a tough one, but that’s how it goes here sometimes.
Stay patient, and keep an eye on the forecasts.
Rusty.
