The Lowdown
Alright, grab your board, settle in, and let’s talk about the next couple of weeks at Lambe Lambe (Lambe-Lambe-1). This is a spot that’s a bit of a wildcard—it’s a point break that rarely gets its act together, so when it does, you gotta be on it. We’ve got a slow start, but there’s some serious potential hiding in the second week.
The first few days are pretty lackluster. Wednesday the 5th is rideable, with a small 2ft SSE swell rolling in at a clean 10 seconds, and the wind is dead glass in the morning. Water temp is sitting at 65.3°, which is pretty much average for this time of year, so nothing wild there. But honestly, the energy is weak (127), and it’s more of a knee-high dribble than anything to get excited about. Thursday and Friday look like a write-off—winds go onshore or cross, and the swell drops off. It’s not worth the paddle.
The first real glimmer shows up late Saturday the 8th. The swell jumps to 5ft from the south with a much longer 13-second period, and the energy jumps to 845. It’s still a bit questionable, with some lumpy conditions, but the seeds are there. By Sunday the 9th, the winds swing offshore and it cleans up nicely. We’ve got 5.6ft of south swell at 12 seconds, and the energy is pumping (823). That’s when it starts to feel like a real surf day.
Monday the 10th through Wednesday the 12th is the heart of this run. The swell stays solid, between 4ft and 5.2ft, all coming from the south with a good 11-13 second period. Winds are offshore or glassy, and the energy stays in the 500-770 range. Wednesday afternoon the 12th is a standout—glassy conditions, 4.3ft SSE at 12 seconds, energy at 677, and it’s just clean. This is the kind of session you’ll be talking about later.
There’s a bit of a lull on Thursday the 13th, with weaker, crossed-up wind and a smaller swell. That’s a good day to do something else. But then Friday the 14th comes back hard. Morning has 6.9ft at 8 seconds, which is short period and a bit lumpy, but it’s offshore and clean. The afternoon is the real deal though—5.6ft of SSE at 12 seconds, energy jumps to 1064, and it’s still offshore. That’s a proper session for sure.
Now, the weekend of the 15th and 16th is where it gets interesting. A big pulse of long-period south swell hits—Saturday the 15th has 6.6ft at 16 seconds with energy up at 2011. That’s powerful, but the wind is onshore and it’s raining, so it’s messy. This is a case where that long period makes it drain and wall up on a point like this, which could be epic, but the wind is going to make it tough. It might be more of a look-and-see wave. Sunday the 16th drops off a bit but it’s still sizeable, though again the wind is on it.
Looking further out to Monday the 17th, there’s a shift. The swell swings to the northeast, smaller at 4.6ft, but the wind is glass in the morning. That’s a whole different vibe, more playful. The energy is only moderate (356) though, so it’s not gonna be a beast. Tuesday the 18th brings back more size at 5.9ft, but the wind turns cross-onshore and it gets choppy, so that’s a pass.
The last few days of the window, the 19th and 20th, fade out. Swell drops, winds get messy again, and the energy weakens. It’s a standard fade-out.
So, what’s the best on offer? I’d say Wednesday the 12th is the pick of the bunch—clean, glassy, nice size, and great energy for a point break. The Friday afternoon the 14th is the other standout, with more size and energy, though the period is a touch shorter. The big Saturday the 15th swell is tempting, but the onshore wind and rain are a real spoiler. It’s a long-range call though, so keep an eye on it—if that wind swings, it could be a day to remember.
As for crowds, this place is always busy. It’s a well-known spot, so when it’s good, you’ll be sharing the peak. And remember, it *rarely* breaks, so when it does, everyone knows. Also, for the beginners out there—when that swell is 5ft or bigger, it’s gonna be pushing your limits. And if it gets over 8ft, which we get close to on the 15th, that’s strictly for the experienced crew.
The long-period swells (over 11 seconds) are gonna be your best bet for quality here, but they can make it a bit fat and straight at this point break if there’s too much energy. The shorter, more average periods (8-10
