Lambe Lambe Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a good look at what Lambe Lambe has in store for us over the next couple of weeks.

First up, the long-term picture. There are waves on the menu almost the whole way through, but the quality is going to be a real mixed bag. We've got a lot of "surfable but ordinary" days mixed in with some proper junk, so you'll need to pick your moments. The water temp is sitting at 65.3°, which is about what you'd expect for this time of year, nothing unusual there.

The very best of the bunch is hands-down Thursday the 28th of September. Monday morning that week is looking unreal. We're talking a solid 5.9ft of swell from the south, with a very long period of 14 seconds – that's proper groundswell energy. The combined energy is a massive 1305, so there's plenty of grunt. And get this, the wind will be a light cross-offshore breeze, making for some clean, lined-up sets. This is the standout, but keep in mind a long-period swell like that can be a bit straight at beach breaks – at a point break like Lambe Lambe, it should be absolutely stellar.

Before that, the other real highlight is Thursday the 17th of September. The morning session will be magic. We've got 4.3ft of south swell, clean, with a period of 11 seconds, and the wind is going to be dead calm – glassy as a lake. The energy reading is a solid 417, so there's plenty of push. It's a small window of perfection before the wind goes wrong in the afternoon.

Now, for the rest of it. The first week is a bit of a grind. The Sunday morning the 13th has some 4.3ft swell, but the 12 mph offshore wind is a bit much and the period is a short 7 seconds, so it'll be lumpy and weak (179 energy). Monday the 14th and Tuesday the 15th are small and ordinary. It's not until Wednesday morning the 16th that we see a bit of a pulse, with 4.9ft from the south, but again, a short period of 7 seconds makes it a bit of a messy beast (408 energy).

There will be a lull after the 17th. The weekend of the 19th and 20th is mostly small and blown out, with onshore winds and ripples. We get a bit more size on Monday the 21st, but the cross-onshore wind (4.9ft, 8 seconds, 321 energy) will make it a choppy mess.

The good run of surf picks up again on Thursday the 24th of September. A solid 3.3ft of south swell with a long 14-second period is on the cards, and the morning wind is light offshore. The energy is a strong 478, so it'll be clean and powerful. That's a very worthwhile early morning session for the more experienced crew.

Then we hit the final blast. After a few days of tiny, onshore junk, Sunday the 27th of September afternoon brings a late pulse of 6.6ft from the south, but with a short 7-second period and the combined energy at 441. The offshore wind is there and moderate, so it'll be clean, but that short period will make it a bit walled-up and tricky.

Then that Monday the 28th is the king. As I said, the morning will be pure class: 5.9ft of long-period south swell, glassy conditions, and massive energy. That is the one to put a big red circle around.

Be aware, Lambe Lambe is a spot that rarely breaks, so when it's on, it's on. And with the crowds being listed as "always", you can bet there will be people there for these swell events.
