Lambe Lambe Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Hey, it’s Rusty. Let’s talk about Lambe Lambe. It’s a point break that’s a rare bird – it hardly ever breaks, so when the stars align, you gotta be ready.

Water temp is a bit cooler than usual for this time of year, coming in at 64°F with a 3°F temperature anomaly, so it’s noticeably chilly.

First real window hits Tuesday morning, the 7th of July. We’ve got a south swell of 5 ft from the south with an 8-second period, and a light offshore breeze from the south at 6 mph. That combo makes for clean waves with a combined energy of 441 (moderate). That Tuesday morning session is the standout of the entire outlook – the best on offer for a classic Lambe Lambe day. But heads up, crowds are always heavy here when it’s good, so get there early.

Tuesday afternoon the wind turns cross-on and the swell backs off, so that window is short.

We go into a dry patch from Wednesday through Thursday morning. Swell is tiny and winds are messy or onshore. Friday morning the 10th brings a little pulse: 2 ft of ESE groundswell (12-second period) with a light cross-offshore breeze, cleaning it up. The energy is weak at 209, so it’s surfable but nothing special. Friday afternoon picks up a bit with 3 ft ESE swell and clean cross-offshore wind, energy at 337. That’s a solid little session.

Saturday morning the 11th has a stronger ESE groundswell at 4 ft with a long 13-second period and combined energy of 504 (moderate-to-strong), but the cross-onshore NNW wind at 6 mph messes it up. Saturday afternoon is a washout with onshore wind.

Sunday the 12th looks good again. Morning: 3 ft ESE swell, clean with an offshore southerly breeze, energy at 365. The real gem is Sunday afternoon: glassy conditions, a 5 ft south swell with a short 6-second period, and energy at 448. That glass is a huge plus – it’ll be super clean. The short period makes the swell a bit lumpy, but on a point it should still give you some fun rides.

Monday the 13th has moderate offshore winds and building south swell up to 4 ft with a 10-second period and 321 energy. Good, solid, clean surf.

From Tuesday the 14th through the rest of the week, it goes flat or tiny with weak energy and poor conditions. That’s a gap of several days with nothing worth paddling out for until…

Tuesday the 21st of July. Afternoon brings back a 5 ft east-northeast swell with a light offshore southerly breeze at 6 mph, and the energy climbs to 323. That’s another clean session that could surprise you. Wednesday the 22nd keeps the offshore flow going with 3 ft ENE swell and a moderate breeze, but the energy is lower.

Overall, Tuesday morning the 7th of July is the one to mark on your calendar. That’s your best shot at a proper, clean Lambe Lambe session. After that, keep an eye on Sunday afternoon the 12th for a glassy treat, and maybe the 21st for a late run.

This spot doesn’t turn on often, so don’t sleep on it.

Rusty.
