The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the table for Lourdata or Lourdas Beach (Kefalonia, Greece) over the next couple of weeks.

Straight up, I gotta be honest with you – it’s a rough stretch. We’re looking at a long, long gap with almost nothing rideable. The whole first week from Saturday 29 August all the way into the start of September is flat or barely a ripple. The combined wave energy sits at pathetic little numbers like 3 (weak energy), and you’re lucky to see a 0.7ft swell. The period is short, around 4 seconds, so it’s just wind chop if anything. Winds are mostly cross or cross-onshore, with a few glassy mornings, but there’s just no swell to work with. It’s essentially a surf drought.

Saturday 29 August: Forget it. 0.7ft from the west, 4-second period, cross-on wind. Not worth waxing up.

Sunday 30 August: Glassy in the morning but only 0.7ft. That’s a lake, not surf.

Monday 31 August: Nothing. Zero energy.

Tuesday 1 September: Glassy morning, again only 0.7ft. This is getting painful.

Wednesday 2 September: Clean morning with a light cross-offshore, but still barely a bump.

Thursday 3 September: Slight improvement? No. Still tiny. 0.7ft.

Friday 4 September: This is the only real glimmer in the whole 16-day window. Friday morning looks glassy, with a 2ft swell from the west-northwest and a 6-second period. Combined wave energy is 22 – still weak, but it’s the most we’ve had. The offshore wind (from the east) will keep it clean. It’s tiny, and for a beginner spot, that’s actually fine – too small for anyone else. But the afternoon gets chopped up by a 20 km/h cross-wind. So the morning is your only shot.

Saturday 5 September to Saturday 13 September: More of the same. Tiny pulses, mostly under 2ft. Winds are generally light offshore or cross-off in the mornings, but the swell energy is pitiful – mostly single digits. The only thing worth noting is Friday 12 September morning: clean, offshore wind, with a 1ft swell from the west-southwest. Not a wave you’d drive for, but if you’ve got a log and you’re desperate, it’s a window.

Sunday 13 September morning: Finally, a proper offshore wind from the north at 10 km/h, clean conditions, and 1ft from the west-southwest. Still small, but it’s the best looking morning of the whole run. Combined energy is only 9 though.

There are no standouts here. The only date worth mentioning is Friday 4 September morning, and even that is a stretch. Water temperature? It’s about average for this time of year, nothing weird. Crowds at Lourdata? They can show up sometimes, but honestly, with this lack of surf, you’ll have the line-up to yourself.

If you’re a kite surfer, the afternoon cross-shore winds from mid-week might be more interesting than anything on a surfboard. But for paddle surfing? It’s a quiet couple of weeks.

Rusty.
