Lambe Lambe Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for Lambe Lambe.

Right off the bat, we’ve got a pretty quiet run. The first few days are pretty ordinary, not worth paddling out for. Thursday the 27th and Friday the 28th are basically write-offs with bumpy, onshore wind and weak, short-period slop. Saturday the 29th and Sunday the 30th show clean conditions with a light offshore breeze, but the swell is small—around 3ft to 4ft at best with short period—so only a tiny, weak wave if you're desperate.

Now, Monday the 31st is the first time it gets a little interesting. The morning session shows glassy conditions and a gentle 4ft swell from the ENE at 9 seconds. The combined energy is moderate (282). It’s not big, but if you want clean, small waves with no wind, that’s your early window. Afternoon gets messy with cross-onshore.

Tuesday the 1st of September is where things perk up. Morning is clean again with a small 3ft ENE swell (energy 282), nice for a log or a longboard. But the real standout is Tuesday afternoon: the swell jumps to 7ft from the south, period only 8 seconds, but with a clean offshore SSE breeze. That’s got a combined energy of 810 (strong). That’s the best wave on offer for the whole outlook—solid, punchy, and clean. It could be a bit much for beginners at that size, but for intermediates and above, that’s the call.

Wednesday the 2nd is decent again, with clean offshore winds and a longer 10-second period swell around 4ft to 5ft. Good, but not as good as Tuesday.

Then Thursday the 3rd brings another highlight. Early morning glass, offshore, with a 6ft south swell at 11 seconds, combined energy a very solid 849. That’s groundswell, long period. The water temp is 66°, which is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual. Thursday morning is your second-best window, but long-period south swell can be a bit straight at a beach break, though this is a point break, so it could wrap nicely.

From Friday the 4th onward, things fade fast. The rest of the first week and into the second week is mostly small, weak, or messy. The offshore winds on Tuesday the 8th of September are clean, but the swell is tiny—3ft—and short period. Combined energy is weak (139). Not worth the paddle.

There’s a long quiet stretch from around Friday the 4th right through to the end of the outlook, with just small, poor quality surf. The very last days, like Thursday the 10th and Friday the 11th of September, have offshore wind but the swell is small and short, energy below 250. Not much to get excited about.

So, bottom line: the standout is definitely Tuesday the 1st of September afternoon with that 7ft south swell and clean offshore wind. Thursday the 3rd morning comes in second with glassy conditions and a nice long-period groundswell. Everything else is either small, weak, or blown out. If you’re keen, target those two windows.

This is Rusty, signing off.
