The Lowdown
Hey folks, it’s Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat out at Lourdata or Lourdas Beach (Kefalonia). I’ve scanned the charts and there’s just nothing doing. We’re staring at a long stretch of tiny, weak surf with a whole lot of waiting around. The water’s sitting at about 80.2°, which is just a touch warmer than usual for this time of year – nothing crazy, but you won’t need a wetsuit, that’s for sure.
The first real chance of even getting wet is Friday afternoon, August 7th. But honestly, it’s a tease. We’re looking at a wobbly 0.7ft of swell coming from the west with a period of 4 seconds – that’s basically just wind chop. The energy reading is a pitiful 1, and with a moderate cross-shore breeze, it’s not going to be pretty. You’d be better off finding a pool.
Saturday the 8th through to Thursday the 13th is a real dead zone. There’s a bit of surfable-looking glass early mornings, but no swell behind it. The swell heights are right at zero or a pathetic 0.7ft to 1ft, and the periods are between 2 and 5 seconds. It’s the kind of surf that’s more frustrating than fun. The hope is that some of these glassy moments would make it look clean, but with no waves to push you around, you’re just bobbing.
The weekend of the 15th and 16th doesn’t offer much relief. A tiny 0.3ft on Saturday morning is the highlight, and that’s saying something. We’re stuck in this pattern of light offshore winds in the mornings, which would be great if there was any swell. Afternoons get chopped up by a moderate cross-shore breeze, just adding to the mess.
We keep seeing the same story in the second week. From Monday the 17th through to Saturday the 22nd, there is just nothing on the horizon. The swell energy is consistently in the 1 to 3 range, and the swell heights are pinned at 0.3ft to 1ft. The periods remain short, under 5 seconds. It’s about as flat as it gets. By Saturday the 22nd, there’s a little more energy in the water, but the wind turns onshore and cross, ruining any chance of a ripple being rideable.
Honestly, this is a blank run for the area. Lourdata is an exposed beach break that needs a good pulse of west or northwest swell, and that pulse is just not there in this entire 16-day window. Keep the board in the car, keep an eye on the charts, and maybe this is a good time to chase something else. It can’t stay this poor for long.
