Lambe Lambe Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s get into it. This is Rusty, and I’m looking at the next 16 days for Lambe Lambe.

Right off the bat, I’ve gotta be straight with you—this run starts real slow. For the first week and a half, we’re looking at a whole lot of “poor surf conditions.” We’re talking tiny, weak swells and wrong wind directions. There’s a few days there where it’s glassy, but the swell is just too small and short-period to get excited about.

The first real flicker of life shows up on the morning of Sunday, August 2nd. It’s small, only 3ft from the ENE with a short 7-second period, but the wind is glassy and it’s surfable. The energy is weak (99). It’s a small, clean wave for a longboard or a foamie, but nothing to write home about.

We get a few more days of that same story—small, ordinary waves—until we hit Thursday, August 7th. That afternoon, the wind goes glassy, the swell is 4ft from the ENE, period up to 9 seconds, and the energy is moderate (258). It’s clean, but still not a standout.

Now, here’s the one you’ve been waiting for. The real standout in this 16-day window is Tuesday, August 11th. The morning brings a solid 6ft swell from the SE, with a clean offshore wind from the S at 6 mph. The period is 8 seconds, so it’s a shorter-period swell, but the energy is strong (520). That’s the kind of day where Lambe Lambe starts to show its teeth. The afternoon keeps it going with more 6ft swell and offshore wind. This is the best day on offer—clean, solid, and punchy. It’s not huge, but for this spot, it’s a proper session.

Following that, Wednesday and Thursday, August 12th and 13th, still have some good energy and clean offshore winds, but the swell drops back to 4ft and then 3ft. Still fun, still clean, but not the peak of the week.

A word on Lambe Lambe: this spot is a point break that rarely breaks, so when it does, it’s a treat. The water temperature is 65°F, which is about average for this time of year (anomaly of -0.7°F). It’s always crowded here, so expect company if you paddle out.

So, to sum it up: the first week and a half is a write-off. You’re waiting until Tuesday, August 11th for the real deal. That’s the day to circle on the calendar. Get there early.

Rusty.
