The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into this one. Rusty here, looking at the forecast for Lambe Lambe.
Things are pretty quiet right now. There’s a long stretch of nothing worth talking about until later in the month. From now until the end of the third week of August, you’re looking at about a week of flat or just poor surf. Not worth getting wet for.
When the surf finally shows up around the 22nd, the water temp is sitting at 65°, which is pretty much dead average for the season – no surprises there.
The real standout window, the one you’ve been waiting for, starts on Saturday, August 22nd. The morning brings a clean 3ft swell from the S with a 10-second period and light offshore wind. The combined energy is moderate at 277. Then the afternoon steps it up: 7ft from the S, shorter period at 8 seconds, but you’ve got a solid 15 mph offshore wind blowing. That’s going to groom it perfectly. The combined energy jumps to a strong 478. This is a point break that rarely breaks, so you have to be on it when it does.
Sunday the 23rd keeps the goods coming. Morning has a 6ft S swell with 12 mph offshore wind. Afternoon bumps up to 6ft from the S, with a long 12-second period and strong combined energy at 942. The wind goes cross-off, but it stays clean.
Monday the 24th is the one to circle. Morning delivers a 7ft S swell with a very long 12-second period and light cross-off wind. The combined energy is very strong at 1164, and the call is “expect very good surf conditions.” That’s a serious pulse for a spot that doesn't fire often. Get out there early – the afternoon gets a bit onshore.
After that, things settle into the 3ft to 5ft range from the 25th through the 27th, mostly with clean offshore winds. Then on the 29th, another morning standout: glassy conditions, a 5ft S swell, and very strong combined energy at 691. Worth the wait.
Lambe Lambe is a point break that’s inconsistent, so when you get the right S swell and offshore wind, it’s a special day. But crowds are always going to be there, so if you see that clean 7ft S swell on the 24th, plan to be first in line.
This is Rusty, out.

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.
