Lambe Lambe Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Lambe Lambe.

Honestly, the first week or so is a bit of a write-off for decent surfing. We’ve got a few days with swell, but the wind is just not playing ball, and the combination of short period swell and rough conditions makes it a tough ask. The standout period looks like it’s going to be Thursday the 23rd and Friday the 24th, with a second, slightly less certain window around Thursday the 30th.

For the first real highlight, point your board at Lambe Lambe. This is a point break that rarely breaks, so when it lines up, it’s a special deal. The water is sitting at 62°F, which is 4° colder than average for the time of year, so that’s a noticeable chill—bring the thick steamer.

The best of the best is shaping up for Thursday, 23rd July. The morning will see a 4ft swell from the south with a moderate offshore wind, and the afternoon bumps up to 6ft from the south, still with that offshore breeze. The combined energy is moderate (342 on Thursday morning, rising to 472 in the afternoon). The period is short at 8 seconds, so it won’t have the grunt of a groundswell, but with clean conditions and offshore wind, this point could handle it well. The winds are described as "moderate offshore and clean," which is a massive positive for this spot. Since it’s a point, those short-period swells can still wrap in nicely. It’s always crowded, so expect some company, but on a rare-breaking point like this, the locals will be out.

Friday, 24th July, is a solid follow-up. The morning offers 4ft from the SSE with a light offshore, and the afternoon holds 4ft from the SSE with the same light offshore wind. The combined energy is moderate (316 and 296). The winds are light, so it’ll be clean and fun.

Moving into the second week, the outlook gets a bit more uncertain. Thursday, 30th July, shows some promise. The morning brings a 6ft swell from the south with a moderate offshore wind, giving combined energy of 364. The period is only 7 seconds, so it’s a short, dumpy swell. That size is getting into the expert-only territory (over 5ft), and for a point break, that short period might make it a bit walled and tricky. It’s a promising sign, but less certain than the earlier window.

Overall, if you’re looking for a paddling session, aim for the 23rd and 24th. The rest of the window is mostly blown out or too small and messy. The surf quality is poor for most days, with onshore winds and choppy conditions. For the first few days, the setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, given the significant swell and strong cross-shore winds.

Stay safe out there.
