Alright, let’s talk about Lambe Lambe. This forecast is a tough one, but I’ll break it down. The first real wave action is set for Sunday, July 12th, and that’s where the magic is.
The best session by far is Sunday morning, July 12th. We’re looking at a clean 3ft swell from the ESE, with a light cross-offshore wind from the SW at just 3 mph. The water temp is 61°, which is a serious 5° colder than normal for this time of year – you’ll want a thick wetsuit. The combined wave energy is strong at 550, and with a 12-second period, that’s real groundswell wrapping around the point. This is the one to chase.
Sunday afternoon, the swell jumps to 6ft from the S, but the period drops to 7 seconds, making it short-period windswell. The wind is offshore from the SSE at 16 mph, so it’ll be clean, but the shorter period means it’ll be a bit messy. The energy is still high at 612. Monday morning, July 13th, is a good follow-up with 5ft from the S at 9 seconds, with a gentle offshore wind from the SSW at 9 mph. The energy is moderate at 455. It’s still clean, but the size is getting into expert territory.
After Monday afternoon, things go downhill. From Tuesday afternoon, July 14th, through the end of the window, the wind turns onshore or cross-onshore, and the swell shifts to the ENE, which isn’t the right direction for this spot. The energy drops off, and we get a long stretch of small, weak waves with poor wind. There’s a brief, glassy moment on Monday, July 20th, and Tuesday, July 21st, but the swell is only 4ft with short period – just ordinary.
The worst part is from July 15th to July 27th, with a big gap of nothing worth paddling out for. This spot is inconsistent, so a dry spell like this is normal. Don’t expect much.
If you’re not a point-break surfer, the beach breaks are going to be a mess with that ENE wind. It honestly looks better for kite surfing than paddle surfing on those days.
So, the call is simple: Sunday morning, July 12th, is the standout. Everything else is a long shot, and the second week is a bust.
