The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for the Lourdata or Lourdas Beach area.
Honestly, for the next couple of weeks, it's a pretty bleak picture. The swell is tiny and the energy is just not there. We're looking at a long, dry spell with barely a ripple to get excited about. From Wednesday the 29th of July right through to the morning of Wednesday the 12th of August, it's a total flat spell. Day after day of near-zero readings, with the combined swell energy sitting at a measly 1 to 10 for most of that time. Sure, there are moments of glassy, clean conditions, like the Friday afternoon of the 31st of July and the Saturday morning of the 1st of August, but without any swell to push through, it's just a lake. You'd be better off with a stand-up paddleboard than a surfboard.
The water temperature is sitting at about 78°, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so that's one small comfort.
Now, things do finally start to look a little more interesting heading into the second week. On Wednesday afternoon, the 12th of August, we get a pulse of 3ft of swell from the west with a period of 6 seconds. The combined energy jumps to 69, which is still weak but it's something. The wind is a cross-onshore though, so it'll be a bit choppy. Not a standout, but it's a start.
The real moment of interest comes the following morning, Thursday the 13th of August. We see a 4ft swell from the northwest with a 7-second period, and the combined energy finally hits triple digits at 116, which is moderate energy. The wind is forecast to be a clean, cross-offshore breeze from the northwest, and with the morning being glassy, the surf should be clean if you can find a bank that works. The Lourdata or Lourdas Beach is exposed to the southwest, so this northwest swell isn't perfect for the direction, but with that good wind and a bit of energy, there might be a few fun ones. It's a long way out though, so keep an eye on it.
Remember, this break is inconsistent and can be a bit of a gamble, but when it gets a pulse like this, it can surprise you. Overall, the best bet in this 16-day window is that Thursday morning, August 13th. It's not a pumping day, but it's the only time we've got a shot at something rideable.
Rusty.
