The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, but this time in feet, miles, and Fahrenheit.
The first few days are junk – no surf worth chasing until Saturday the 2nd of September. The swell and wind just won’t play ball before then. Once that window opens, though, it’s time to get excited.
The spot to watch is Lambe Lambe – a point break that rarely breaks, so when it does, it’s a special deal. Water temp is 65°, which is right on average for the time of year.
Saturday the 2nd of September morning is the real standout. We’ve got a 7ft swell from the south with an 11-second period, giving it some real power. The combined swell energy is strong at 1269 (moderate to strong), and with light offshore winds from the SSW, it’s going to be glassy. This is expert-only territory – anything over 8ft is too much for most, and 7ft is still serious. The afternoon holds at 7ft from the SSE, period still 11 seconds, energy at 962, with a cross-offshore breeze keeping it clean. That’s your best bet.
Sunday the 3rd of September morning is still solid – 5ft from the SSE, 10-second period, light offshore from the south, energy at 448. Good, but not the peak.
Then it backs off. Monday the 4th is a dud, and the next days are small and weak. The 7th of September brings a long-period groundswell – 6ft from the SSE with a 14-second period on Monday morning, but it’s cross-onshore and choppy. The afternoon cleans up with 6ft, 13 seconds, and a moderate offshore from the south – better but not the highlight. Tuesday the 8th of September morning comes back with 5ft from the SSE, 14-second period, moderate offshore, energy at 867, and clean conditions – another good one for the experienced crew.
After that, it fades into smaller, cleaner but weaker days, then dies off by the 11th and 12th of September – the 12th spikes to 8ft but with messy cross-onshore winds ruining it.
So, the first week is a wash. The only true standout is Saturday the 2nd of September at Lambe Lambe – mark it down. The second week has a few clean offshore sessions but nothing that’ll blow you away.
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.
