Lambe Lambe Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright everyone, Rusty here. Let’s look at what’s in store over the next couple of weeks.

It’s a dead start, to be honest. The first few days are a total washout – no surf worth paddling out for. That dry spell runs from the 3rd through to the 4th, with weak, messy conditions and the wind blowing all wrong.

We finally get a bit of life on the morning of Friday the 5th. It’s not big – just a 3ft swell from the ENE – but the wind is offshore and clean. The combined energy is moderate at 239, so there’s some push. Lambe Lambe is a point break that rarely breaks, so getting a wave here is a real treat. The water temp is 67°F, which is about average for the time of year.

Saturday the 6th morning is tiny, but the afternoon brings a jump to 8ft out of the south. That’s a solid size, but the period is short at 8 seconds, so it’s a bit chunky. The wind is fresh offshore and clean, but this size is only for the experienced crew. The combined energy is strong at 653.

Sunday the 7th is looking good. The morning has a 5ft SSE swell with a bit more period at 9 seconds, and a light cross-offshore breeze. Clean conditions. The afternoon holds similar at 5ft – solid and rideable. This is a good window to get wet.

The middle of the week from the 8th to the 10th is a bit of a mess again, with a lot of onshore wind and choppy water. Not worth the effort.

Now, here’s the real standout: Friday the 11th. The morning session delivers a 4ft swell from the ENE with a gentle offshore breeze. Clean, lined up, and the combined energy is a solid 278. For a break that rarely fires, this is a proper window. The wind is light and offshore, and that’s a huge plus for clean, workable waves.

The following weekend, the 13th, also looks good. Sunday morning we’ve got a 6ft south swell, building to 6ft in the afternoon, with a period of 10 seconds. Offshore winds all day, moderate but clean. The combined energy hits 488 in the morning and a strong 645 in the afternoon. This is the weekend to circle.

Looking further out, the 17th brings a moment of magic. Thursday afternoon sees a 3ft swell but with a very long period of 17 seconds out of the SSE. That’s groundswell, and it’s packing a punch – the combined energy is 692. The wind is moderate offshore, and the conditions are clean. For a point break, that long period is going to groom the waves perfectly. It’s promising, but it’s a week and a half out, so keep an eye on it.

The 18th follows with more of the same; 5ft and 5ft SSE swell with a very long period of 15 seconds, and strong combined energy of 1036 and 848. Offshore winds again. This is another strong window for the experienced surfer, but again, it’s long-range so treat it as a hopeful one.

So, to wrap it up: the best windows are Friday the 11th morning for a rare, clean session, and the weekend of the 13th for consistent, solid surf. The long-range stuff on the 17th and 18th has real potential, but we’ll have to wait and see. Keep your eyes peeled.

Rusty.
