Lambe Lambe Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let's get into it.

Well, blow me down. We’ve got a real mixed bag coming our way, but there are definitely some windows to get excited about. The main story is a long period swell that shows up for a couple of days, but it needs the right window to line up. This spot is a tricky one – *Lambe Lambe* is a point break that only rarely breaks, so when it’s on, you’ve gotta drop everything. Water temp’s sitting at about 66°, which is pretty standard for this time of year, no surprises there.

The first call is for Wednesday the 9th in the afternoon. It’s small, only about 3ft from the SSE with a short 10-second period, but the wind is glassy. The combined swell energy is moderate at 329. It won’t be big, but it’ll be clean and ridable. Because this break is so inconsistent, even a small, clean window is a good thing.

Thursday morning the 10th is even smaller, around 2ft from the S, but again with glassy conditions and a long 12-second period. The energy is still moderate (287). The wind switches onshore in the arvo, so the morning is your only shot here.

We’ve got a rough patch from Thursday afternoon through Friday the 11th as a moderate breeze brings onshore wind and poor conditions. Not worth paddling out.

Now, the first standout: Saturday morning the 12th. This is the one. We get a clean 6ft swell from the S, a 9-second period, and a solid offshore SSW breeze at 12 mph. The combined energy jumps to a strong 515. This is proper, clean surf at a point break. The swell holds through the afternoon, jumping to about 7ft from the S with a 10-second period and an even stronger 831 energy. The wind freshens to 19 mph but stays offshore from the SSE, keeping it clean. This is for intermediate surfers – the size is fun but not out of control. Because it’s a point break, the longer period won’t close it out.

Sunday morning the 13th is still rideable at 5ft from the SE, but the energy drops to 400 and the wind is cross-offshore. It’s cleaner than it looks on paper. The afternoon gets choppy.

There’s another gap from Monday the 14th through to Tuesday morning the 15th. Tuesday’s morning session is small at about 3ft from the SSE, but the period is a long 11 seconds, the wind is light and cross-offshore, and the energy is surprisingly solid at 378 for the size. Clean, lined-up waves. The afternoon follows suit with similar conditions.

The next big one is Wednesday the 16th. The morning brings a clean 8ft from the S, a 9-second period, and a fresh 19 mph offshore S wind. The energy is strong at 976. But the standout is the afternoon: 7ft from the S, a very long 12-second period, and a massive 1532 energy. The wind is still a fresh offshore from the SSE. This is proper, powerful groundswell at a point break. The size is pushing into expert territory at over 8ft, but the offshore wind and point break setup will make it a classic session for the crew who can handle it.

Thursday morning the 17th is still pumping. 5ft from the S, a very long 12-second period, and a light 6 mph offshore from the S. Energy is a robust 698. It’s down a touch in size from the day before, but the conditions are near-perfect.

Friday morning the 18th is back to small, clean stuff: 3ft from the SSE, 11-second period, glassy wind, 305 energy. The afternoon sees a spike to 6ft from the ENE, a short 8-second period, but glassy conditions again with 516 energy. That afternoon window has some punch for its size.

The last real window is Tuesday the 22nd in the morning. A clean 5ft from the S, a very short 6-second period, but a gentle 9 mph offshore from the S. The energy is moderate at 413. It’s a short-period swell, so it’ll be a bit choppier in the lineup, but it’s offshore and clean.

The rest of the run from the 19th onward is mostly onshore, cross-onshore, or just ordinary conditions. There are scrap sessions, but nothing to get excited about. For a break that rarely breaks, we’ve got a few golden windows – especially the 12th and the 16th. Don’t sleep on them.

Rusty.
