Lambe Lambe Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Lambe Lambe has in store for the next couple of weeks. This is a point break that only really gets going when the swell lines up just right – it’s a rare-breaker, and when it does break, you’ll have company, because the crowds are always there. That tells you how good it can be.

The first few days are flat out no good. From Sunday the 19th through Wednesday the 22nd, the surf is poor – onshore winds, small weak swell, nothing worth paddling out for. You’d be better off staying home and waxing your board.

Things finally start to look up on Thursday morning the 23rd. We get a 5ft south swell with a short 6‑second period – not the most powerful stuff, but the wind swings offshore (SSW 12 mph) and the water cleans right up. Combined wave energy is moderate at 285. The water temp is 63°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year – bring a steamer. That Thursday afternoon the swell bumps up to 5.2ft from the south, period a bit better at 9 seconds, and the offshore wind holds. The energy jumps to 479. It’s a solid session for those who know the peak, but that 6‑second morning period means the waves might lack a bit of punch.

Friday the 24th keeps the run going. Morning sees 4.6ft southeast swell, period 9 seconds, gentle offshore wind from the SSW (9 mph), energy at 407. Clean lines, good shape. Friday afternoon lightens up a little (4.3ft, also SE, period 9, cross-off wind) but still clean.

Saturday the 25th and Sunday the 26th fade to smaller, less exciting waves – waist‑high stuff with very ordinary conditions. Best of those two days is Sunday morning the 26th: a 2ft south swell, but the period is a lovely 12 seconds (groundswell) and the wind goes glassy – not a breath. Energy is only 183, so weak, but that clean glass might give you a few fun ones if you’re patient. Still, not worth getting excited about.

Then we hit another dry spell. Monday the 27th through Wednesday the 29th – mostly poor surf, small, onshore winds, energy dropping into double digits. Wednesday morning the 29th offers a tiny 3ft swell and offshore wind, but it’s just ordinary.

Now here’s the standout – mark your calendar for Thursday the 30th of July. Morning: 5.9ft south swell, period 10 seconds, combined energy a solid 617, and the wind is light offshore from the south (3 mph). Clean, powerful, and pushing well over head‑high. This is the kind of day that makes Lambe Lambe special. Afternoon gets even better: glassy conditions (calm wind), still 5.2ft south swell, period 10 seconds, energy 539. For a spot that rarely breaks, this is your best window. The swell direction (S) lines up perfectly with what this point loves (optimum from E, but S is close enough to work). Expect it to be crowded – always is – but the quality will be worth fighting for.

Friday the 31st morning holds a nice 4.3ft
