The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break down this 16-day window for Lambe Lambe. It’s a point break that doesn’t fire often, so when it does, you pay attention.
We’re kicking off with a bit of nothing on Friday the 11th. Small NE swell, maybe knee-high, with a moderate north breeze and rain. The energy is low (186). Not your day. Saturday the 12th is where the switch flips. The wind goes offshore from the South, and the swell pushes up to a clean 6ft by the afternoon – 2.0m. The energy is moderate to strong (527), and the S direction is right in the sweet spot for the break. Saturday afternoon is the standout of the first week: head-high, offshore, clean, and lined up. Sunday the 13th is still clean but the swell drops to about 5ft (1.4m) – still fun but not the peak.
Then we get a flat spell with onshore winds Monday and Tuesday. Hold on for Tuesday the 15th morning. The wind goes glassy, and a 6ft (1.9m) E swell rolls in with 610 energy. The water temp is average for September. This is a big one for the intermediate to advanced crew – it’s a sizey wave with zero wind. The point should be running nicely.
Wednesday the 16th afternoon delivers again: 6ft (1.9m) S swell, offshore wind from the SSE, energy at 503. Another solid session. But the real standout of the whole outlook might be Thursday the 17th morning. The swell is 5ft (1.6m) from the SSE, but the period is a very long 14 seconds, and the energy is a strong 969. That’s a serious groundswell. For a point break, that means long, powerful lines. The wind is light and cross-shore, so it’s not perfect glass, but that raw energy will make for an epic session. That’s your second true standout.
After that, the energy fades through the weekend, but Saturday the 19th morning is a gem: dead calm, glassy, and a clean 6ft (1.8m) NE swell with 794 energy. That’s a beautiful, clean morning for a longboard or a step-up. The second week has clean windows on Sunday the 20th afternoon, Tuesday the 22nd, and into late September, but the swell drops off significantly. The 25th brings back a solid S groundswell with 11-second period and 785 energy, clean and offshore, but the size drops to about 5ft (1.5m).
Two standouts: Saturday the 12th afternoon for the clean, offshore head-high S swell, and Thursday the 17th morning for the powerful, long-period SSE groundswell. Lambe Lambe is a rare-breaker, so this is a special window. Keep your eyes on the forecasts, but this looks like the real deal.
Rusty out.

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.
