The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this is a tough one. The forecast for the next 16 days is pretty grim for Lourdata or Lourdas Beach. There’s no real swell to speak of, and what little bumps show up are tiny and weak. It’s going to be a long, flat stretch.
The first few days are a complete write-off. From Wednesday 15th July right through to Wednesday 22nd July, we’re looking at flatness, with wave heights barely reaching 1 ft and periods of just 5 seconds or less. The combined swell energy is almost non-existent, reading values like 3 (weak energy) and 2. It’s just poor surf conditions day after day. The wind is often glassy in the mornings, which is a cruel tease – perfect conditions but nothing to ride. You’ll see a few afternoons with a cross-shore or cross-onshore breeze, but it’s chop on top of nothing.
Now, there is a tiny flicker of hope around Thursday 23rd July. The morning shows a small, clean swell of 3 ft from the NW with a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy jumps to 86 (weak energy). The wind is a clean cross-offshore from the NW at 9 mph. It’s still small, but it’s the only time in the whole period where the surf looks even vaguely rideable for a beginner. The afternoon gets windier with the NW breeze picking up to 19 mph, so it’s a morning-only window if you’re desperate.
After that, it’s back to the same story. The combined energy drops back down to 24, then 9, then 55 on the 26th, but the swell height remains tiny at 2 ft to 3 ft. The water temperature here is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there.
Honestly, the best option in this whole outlook is that Thursday morning on the 23rd. It’s not a standout by any stretch, but it’s the only sniff of a wave. This spot is inconsistent and exposed to the SW, but the swell is coming from the NW, so it’s not even from the ideal direction. For the rest of the time, the setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, given the persistent light winds and flat water.
Rusty.
