The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the menu for Lambe Lambe over the next couple of weeks.
First up, water temps are sitting at 64°, which is a bit colder than what we’d normally expect for this time of year. Not crazy cold, but you’ll feel that difference.
We’ve got a bit of a slow start, with surfable waves showing up on Thursday the 23rd, but the conditions are pretty ordinary. The early morning session has some 3ft swell from the ENE with a short period of 8 seconds, and the wind is a cross-offshore. The combined energy is weak (125). It’s surfable, but there’s nothing to get excited about.
The real standout for this whole forecast is Friday the 24th. The morning brings a clean 5ft swell from the SSE with a moderate period of 9 seconds, and the offshore wind is light. The combined energy jumps up to a solid moderate (364). This is the best we’ve got. The waves will have some push and shape, and with that offshore breeze, it’ll be clean. The afternoon holds up pretty well too, with a light cross-offshore wind and a similar 5ft swell from the SE.
After that, things get messy. Saturday the 25th is a write-off with cross-onshore winds and poor surf. Sunday the 26th has onshore winds and the swell drops to 2ft. From there, we go into a long, bleak stretch. From Monday the 27th right through to the end of the month, it’s all tiny waves, onshore or cross-offshore winds, and generally poor conditions. The energy is negligible, mostly under 100.
There’s a glimmer of hope on Monday the 3rd of August. The morning brings a 5ft SE swell with a 10-second period and a clean offshore wind. The combined energy is strong (528). But the wind swings onshore later, and the following days are messy again.
The bottom line is this: if you want a wave, your best bet is to be out there Friday the 24th. That’s the one session that’s got decent size, clean conditions, and a bit of energy. The rest of the window is mostly a write-off, with a long gap of poor surf from the 26th until the 3rd of August, and even then, it’s touch and go. For a spot that rarely breaks, this is a pretty typical quiet spell.
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.
