Lambe Lambe Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Right, folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s on offer at Lambe Lambe. This is a point break that only rarely breaks, so when it lines up, you’ve got to pay attention.

The water temp is sitting at 66°, which is pretty much normal for this time of year—nothing to get excited about there.

We’re looking at a solid window of surf starting this Saturday, the 8th of August. The early morning is a bit of a tease—there’s a 5ft south swell rolling in with a long 14-second period, and the combined energy is moderate (848). But the wind is light and onshore, so it’s messy. The afternoon is similar, with a cross-on breeze. It’s a marginal start, but the real action kicks off on Sunday morning, the 9th.

Sunday morning you’ve got a 6ft south swell at 12 seconds, with a solid offshore wind out of the SSE. That’s clean. The wave energy is strong (991). This is the standout period. The point should be handling this southeast swell beautifully, and with that offshore wind, it’s going to be glassy. For a break that’s always packed, expect crowds, but this is the best-conditioned swell of the run. It’s not too big for a confident intermediate. The offshore holds through Sunday afternoon and into Monday morning, with the swell easing slightly. Monday afternoon it drops to 4ft, still clean.

Tuesday, the 11th, is still solid with 5ft south swell and light offshore winds, clean as a whistle. Wednesday morning, the 12th, goes glassy—dead calm, 5ft SSE swell, moderate energy (604)—that’s a magic moment for a point break. The afternoon turns choppy, so get in early.

The next highlight is Friday, the 14th. The afternoon sees a 5ft south swell with a moderate offshore breeze (954 combined energy), making for excellent conditions. Then Saturday morning, the 15th, is dead calm and glassy again with a 4ft south swell.

After that, the energy drops off significantly. From Sunday the 16th through to the 23rd, it’s a mixed bag of small, short-period wind swell and poor conditions. There’s a brief window on Tuesday the 18th afternoon with a 4ft east swell and offshore wind, but it’s a long way out and the period is only 8 seconds. The end of the run, around the 22nd and 23rd, shows some south swell returning, but it’s marginal.

So, the takeaway: the absolute best is Sunday morning, the 9th of August. That 6ft south swell with offshore wind is your ticket. The Wednesday morning glass-off on the 12th is a close second. Get on it.

Rusty, out.
