The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming down the line at Lambe Lambe. This is a point break setup that doesn’t switch on very often, so we gotta pay attention when it does. Water temp is sitting at 66°, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year—nothing unusual there.
The week kicks off with a solid pulse of S swell hitting Monday afternoon. We’re looking at waves around 6 ft, with a nice 13-second period and a moderate SSE breeze holding it clean with offshore conditions. The combined energy is moderate at 942—not crazy powerful, but there’s plenty there to work with. Tuesday morning keeps the quality up: 5 ft S swell, lighter wind, still clean. Tuesday afternoon goes glassy with the wind dropping to zero and the swell easing to 5 ft from the SSE. Surf’s looking really good through these first two days.
Now, a word of warning—this break is a *rarely breaks* kind of spot, so when it’s on, it’s on, but the crowds will be there. You’ll be sharing the peak.
Wednesday and Thursday morning see the swell drop a bit to the 5-5 ft range but staying clean. Thursday morning is absolutely glassy with a 14-second period groundswell—that longer period will really wrap into this point beautifully. Friday morning is also glassy with 5 ft SSE swell. This mid-week stretch is the real standout: Thursday morning and Friday morning are pure gold for better surfers who like drawn-out lines.
The weekend takes a serious hit. Saturday and Sunday drop right off to tiny, weak waves under 3 ft with onshore wind and short periods down to 8 seconds. Combined energy drops to around 262-283. Not worth paddling out, plain and simple.
Monday the 18th and Tuesday the 19th are messy and small again, with some wind-affected short-period swell. Nothing to get excited about.
Then things get interesting again. Thursday 21st morning is glassy and clean with 3 ft SSE swell and a 12-second period—not big, but clean and lined up for the point. A sneaky little session if you’re patient.
The real gem shows up at the far end. Monday 24th brings a new S swell building to 6 ft with a fresh offshore breeze in the morning—moderate energy at 273 but clean. Then Tuesday 25th is the absolute standout of the whole 16-day window. Morning has a very solid 4 ft S swell, 12-second period, light offshore wind, and the combined energy jumps to 1055—that’s strong, powerful water moving. Afternoon glass off with 5 ft SSE swell at 14 seconds and energy hitting 1275. This is proper groundswell wrapping into the point with perfect conditions for experienced surfers. For the best of the best, circle Tuesday 25th on your calendar. Just remember it’s a long way out, so keep an eye on it.
Stay salty,
Rusty

Information about the Lambe Lambe Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Lambe Lambe provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Lambe Lambe can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Lambe Lambe surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Lambe Lambe) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Lambe Lambe may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
Lambe Lambe is 23 km (14 miles) from the city of Florianopolis. If you plan a holiday in Florianópolis, look for hotels and other accommodation in Florianopolis. Florianopolis has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
