Lambe Lambe Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s switch to feet and miles per hour. Rusty here.

So we’re looking at Lambe Lambe, a point break that rarely breaks and when it does, it can get packed. The next couple weeks are a mix of gems and duds.

Thursday afternoon, July 2nd, the water is 62°, which is over 4° colder than normal – that’s a serious chill, you’ll need a thick suit. The surf is tiny, about 2ft from the ENE, weak period of 8 seconds, energy only 103. Light cross-onshore breeze, just poor conditions. Skip it.

Friday July 3rd gets bigger. The morning has 8ft from the south, 25 mph offshore wind – clean, but that size is for experts only, and the 8-second period means it’s a lumpy windswell. Combined energy is 701 (moderate). The afternoon settles to 6ft, still south, 9-second period, energy 718, and a 15 mph offshore – clean but still big for this break.

Saturday July 4th is the clear winner. The afternoon is the sweet spot: 7ft from the south, 12-second period – that’s a long-period groundswell – and combined energy is a massive 1738 (very strong). Wind is a light cross-offshore at 10 mph, and they’re calling it “excellent for experienced surfers.” That long period means powerful, well-shaped waves with longer lulls – a point break like this will love it. The morning is also very good: 6ft, 11 seconds, 1218 energy, and clean cross-offshore wind.

Sunday July 5th morning is glassy with 5ft from the SSE, 11 seconds, energy 603 – nice, but nothing special compared to Saturday. The afternoon goes onshore and dies.

From Monday July 6th through July 11th, it’s mostly poor. There’s a brief clean moment Tuesday July 7th afternoon with 4ft from the south and light cross-offshore, but with a short 7-second period, it’s weak (267 energy). Not worth the drive.

Then we hit a lull until Monday July 13th morning: 5ft from the south, 10-second period, energy 953, and a light offshore from the SSW. Clean and solid. Tuesday July 14th also has 5ft SE swell, 11 seconds, with moderate offshore winds, energy around 637 – good, consistent surf.

Wednesday July 15th morning has 5ft from the SE, 12-second period, but the wind is cross-shore and tide is tricky. The afternoon is onshore and poor. Thursday and Friday the 16th and 17th stay poor or marginal with onshore winds.

The standout is absolutely Saturday July 4th, especially the afternoon. That 7ft, 12-second south groundswell with light wind and that massive energy – 1738 – is the one to chase. Saturday morning is also excellent. After that, the 13th and 14th of July offer decent waves, but nothing compares to the peak on the 4th.

Suit up, it’s cold – Rusty.
