Lambe Lambe Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for Lambe Lambe.

This is a point break that doesn’t come alive very often, so when it does, you pay attention. The window starts this Saturday, August 8th, but don’t get too excited for the first day – it’s a bit of a tease. The real meat of the forecast kicks in from Sunday and runs through the middle of the following week.

The standout session, the one you point your board at, is Monday morning, August 10th. We’ve got a solid 6 ft of south swell rolling in, with a long 13-second period – that’s proper groundswell, full of punch. The wind is offshore from the south at 16 mph, keeping the faces clean. The combined energy is pumping hard at 1157, which is strong. This is a wave for confident intermediates and above; it’s got some heft. The water temp is about average for this time of year.

Sunday, August 9th, is also a strong contender. The morning sees 6 ft of south swell, a 12-second period, and fresh offshore winds from the SSE at 16 mph. The energy is very high at 1082. It’s a touch bigger than Monday morning, but with that howling offshore, it’ll be a battle to get out and a dream once you’re in. The afternoon cleans up nicely too, with 6 ft and a 724 energy reading.

Tuesday, August 11th, the swell drops a little to 5 ft, but the wind goes light offshore from the south at 6 mph. The energy is a moderate 568, and it’s clean. A solid session for anyone who misses the weekend.

Wednesday, August 12th, is a special one for the early risers. The swell is still a fun 5 ft from the SSE, period of 12 seconds, but the wind… it’s glassy. A light breeze from the NE at 3 mph. The wave energy is 540. If you want a mirror-smooth surface and long, walling point-break waves, this is your morning. It’s a dream for a point break like this.

Now, there’s a bit of a gap after that. Thursday and Friday drop off in size, and then the following week from Monday, August 17th, through to Thursday, August 20th, looks pretty average. The wind goes onshore or cross-shore, and the swell direction swings around to the east and northeast, which isn’t optimal for this spot. The energy is low, and the conditions are choppy. It’s a write-off for paddle surfing.

There’s a slight flicker of life on Friday, August 21st, with a little 3 ft south swell and offshore wind, but the energy is weak at 241. It’s surfable, but nothing to write home about. By Saturday, August 22nd, it’s all but flat.

Given how rarely this place breaks, the run from Sunday the 9th to Wednesday the 12th is a rare treat. Be there or be square.

Rusty.
