The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Lambe Lambe. It’s a point break that’s exposed to the east and works best with a southerly swell direction. I’ll be straight with you – it’s a spot that rarely breaks, so when it does, you need to be on it. The water’s sitting at 65°, which is pretty much what you’d expect for this time of year, nothing wild there.
We’ve got a bit of a slow start. The first real chance to get wet comes on Monday morning, 14 September. It’s small, with 3ft of south swell running at 11 seconds. The wind is offshore and light, so it’ll be clean. The combined energy is moderate at 308. It’s not going to blow you away, but for a spot that’s rarely working, it’s worth a look.
Monday afternoon drops off a bit, down to 3ft, and the wind goes cross-offshore. It’s clean, but pretty ordinary. Tuesday is more of the same – small and clean, but nothing to write home about.
Wednesday morning, 16 September, sees a slight bump back up to 4ft from the south, period at 10 seconds, with offshore wind. Combined energy is 333 – still moderate, but it’s shaping up to be a clean, surfable morning. Wednesday afternoon gets a bit gusty from the SSE, and conditions turn poor.
Now, Thursday morning, 17 September, is where it gets interesting. We’ve got 4ft of south swell with a nice 12-second period, and the wind goes glassy. That’s the kind of clean, lined-up point surf you dream about. Combined energy is 358. This is the standout of the first week. Get on it if you can.
Friday and Saturday are a write-off – onshore winds and messy conditions. Sunday morning, 20 September, the swell jumps to 7ft from the ENE, but it’s onshore and the period is a short 9 seconds. The combined energy is strong at 711, but with that wind, it’s not for paddling. This setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
Monday, 21 September, brings a bit of a reset. We’ve got 6ft from the ENE, period still 9 seconds, but the wind goes glassy again in the morning. Combined energy is a solid 458. It’ll be clean, but that short period means it’ll be a bit fat and won’t have the same punch as a longer period swell.
After that, the surf tapers off. There’s a brief window on Wednesday morning, 23 September, with a clean 3ft from the east and offshore wind, but it’s ordinary. The rest of the week is small and mostly poor, with onshore winds.
We hit a real flat spell from around 26 September – only tiny 1ft to 2ft waves with no energy to speak of. That lasts for a few days. Then, late in the period, on Sunday afternoon, 27 September, we see a little pulse of 3ft south swell with a 10-second period and offshore wind. Not huge, but it’s clean.
The last real highlight in this 16-day run is on Tuesday afternoon, 29 September. We’ve got 4ft from the SSE, period 11 seconds, light wind and clean. The combined energy jumps to 449, which is the strongest reading in the second week. For a break that’s rarely breaking, that’s a solid opportunity.
So, if I had to pick the true standouts: Thursday morning, 17 September, with glassy conditions and a long 12-second south swell, and Tuesday afternoon, 29 September, with clean 4ft SSE swell. Those are your best bets.
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.
