Lambe Lambe Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a proper look at what’s on the cards for Lambe Lambe.

Right off the bat, it’s a slow start. The first solid recommendation doesn’t come until Monday morning, the 14th of September. Before that, Sunday the 13th has waves but the conditions are ordinary, so we’ll skip it.

Looking at the whole run, the standout period is from Monday the 14th through to the morning of Wednesday the 16th. We’ve got a south-southwest wind holding offshore, keeping things clean. Monday morning sees smaller 3ft swell but with an 11-second period from the south, giving it some push. The energy is moderate at (268). Monday afternoon builds a little to 4ft from the south, 10-second period, and the combined energy jumps up to a strong (525). That afternoon looks like the pick of the early week – clean, offshore, and some proper grunt in the water.

Tuesday the 15th and Wednesday the 16th mornings are still rideable with 4ft to 4ft south swells and light offshore winds, but the energy drops back a bit. Still, clean conditions.

Now, the real gem. Thursday morning, the 17th of September. We’ve got glassy conditions – dead calm, ENE wind at 3 mph. That’s a massive positive. Swell is 4ft from the south with a 10-second period, and the combined energy is a solid (352). For a spot that rarely breaks, this is a proper window. The water temp is 65°, which is about average for this time of year – no drama there.

But there’s a catch – Lambe Lambe is a point break that rarely breaks, and when it does, it’s always crowded. So if you want a piece of that Thursday glass, you better be early.

After that, things get messy. From Thursday afternoon right through to the end of the run, it’s mostly onshore or cross-onshore winds, and the quality drops hard. There’s a brief moment on the afternoon of the 22nd of September with a gentle offshore, but the swell is small and ordinary. The 23rd of September afternoon has a clean 4ft from the SSE with a short 6-second period, so it’ll be weak and bumpy.

The very end of the forecast has a couple of nice-looking sessions on the 27th of September. Sunday morning is glassy with 5ft from the east-southeast, 8-second period, energy at (272). Sunday afternoon sees a moderate offshore with 5ft from the same direction and energy at (332). That’s promising but it’s two weeks out, so don’t lock it in just yet.

Overall, the best bet is Thursday the 17th morning at Lambe Lambe. Clean, glassy, and a solid south swell. But remember, it’s a spot that rarely fires, so if the stars align, it’ll be worth the paddle.

Rusty.
