The Lowdown
Alright, let's break down what we've got for the next couple of weeks here.
The first few days are a write-off, honestly. We're looking at nothing but onshore wind and poor surf until about the middle of the second week. The swell energy is weak, barely scratching the surface. You'll want to sit this one out until Thursday the 20th of August. That's when things start to turn.
The standout window looks like the week starting Monday the 24th of August. The winds finally swing offshore and we get a bit of life back in the water. For a rare break like Lambe Lambe, which doesn't fire often, this is something to get excited about.
On Monday the 24th, it's looking the best. Expect a clean 5ft swell from the SSE with a moderate offshore wind. The energy will be moderate (585), and the swell period is a long 11 seconds, meaning those waves will have some proper power and shape. This is a point break, so that long period should wrap in nicely. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual to report there.
Lambe Lambe is the pick. You'll be sharing the water though, as crowds are listed as inevitable here. For Monday the 24th, you've got chest to head-high sets from the SSE with clean conditions. Tuesday the 25th is also solid, a bit smaller at 3ft but still clean and lined up from the south. Just keep in mind the crowds.
The rest of that week has some smaller, clean windows, but nothing that will knock your socks off. The energy drops right off again by the weekend of the 29th, with the wind turning poor once more.
So, mark your calendar for Monday the 24th. That's your best shot at a proper session, but be prepared to share the peak.

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.
