Lambe Lambe Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a good look at what’s coming our way for Lambe Lambe.

Right off the bat, Monday morning the 13th of July is your first real window. We’ve got a clean 5ft swell coming from the south, with an 8-second period and a solid 476 (moderate energy) behind it. The wind is light offshore from the SSW, so expect clean, lined-up waves. The water is sitting at 61°, which is 5° colder than normal for this time of year – that’s a notable chill, so a good wetsuit is non-negotiable. This is a point break and it rarely breaks, so when it’s on, it’s special. But it’s always crowded, so get in early.

Monday afternoon we’ll see the swell drop a little to 4ft, still from the south, with a clean cross-offshore breeze. Tuesday morning the 14th holds similar promise with a 5ft swell swinging a bit more southeast, a 10-second period, 392 (moderate energy), and a cross-off wind – still decent. Tuesday afternoon the wind turns cross-on and the quality drops off.

From Wednesday the 15th right through until Sunday the 19th, it’s a write-off. Strong onshore winds, bumpy conditions, and poor surf. This is a long stretch of flat or ugly days, so don’t hold your breath.

The 20th of July, Monday morning, offers a bit of a relief – glassy conditions but only a weak 4ft, 8-second swell from the east-northeast. It’s surfable but very ordinary.

Then things get interesting again. On the 21st of July, Tuesday, we get a proper little run. A clean 3ft to 3ft groundswell from the south-southeast, with a 12-second period (nice and long), and moderate to gentle offshore winds from the south. The energy reading jumps to 444 and 431 (moderate). This is a point break, and with that kind of period, the waves will hold their shape well. It’s a rare treat for this spot, but again, expect a crowd if you’re out there. The 22nd of July, Wednesday, looks similar and just as clean.

We then hit another poor spell from the 23rd through the 25th, with onshore winds and small, weak swell.

The standout, by far, is the 26th of July, Sunday. This is the best on offer. We’re looking at a solid 5ft swell from the south-southeast, with a 12-second period. The energy is strong at 561 (moderate to strong), and the wind is moderate offshore from the south in the morning, going light offshore in the afternoon. This is going to be clean, punchy, and well-shaped. For a spot that rarely breaks, this is a day to circle on the calendar. Just remember, it’s always crowded here.

After that, the 27th and 28th fade off with smaller, less reliable surf and onshore breezes.

In short, you’ve got a couple of windows: the early burst on Monday/Tuesday this week, and a longer, cleaner run next week from Tuesday the 21st through Sunday the 26th. The 26th is your golden ticket. Everything in between is either blown out or flat.

Stay frothy.
