The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what’s coming our way at Lambe Lambe. Now, this is a point break that’s a bit of a secret – it's a spot that rarely breaks, so when it does line up, you better drop everything.
Right off the bat, don't get too fired up for the start of this run. The swell is small and weak, with a combined energy reading of just 174 (that’s weak) on Tuesday the 21st, and the wind is on it, making for poor conditions. The water is sitting at 64°F, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year.
We’ve got a real quiet patch for a few days after that, with nothing worthwhile through to Wednesday morning the 23rd. Then things start to click. Wednesday morning the 23rd sees a clean, offshore breeze from the SSW at 9 mph, waves around 3ft from the ENE, but the real standout window opens Thursday the 24th. Friday the 24th is looking like the pick of the first week. We get some solid 5ft swell from the SSE on the morning, swinging to 5ft from the SE in the afternoon, with light offshore winds (3-6 mph). The wave energy jumps right up to 525, and the surf is clean and well-shaped. This is a lovely intermediate-size groundswell with a 10-second period, perfect for a point break.
Now, we hit a rough patch again from Saturday the 25th right through to the end of July. Expect onshore winds and crummy conditions. The energy drops off a cliff to as low as 71 by Wednesday the 29th. There’s a brief flash on Friday the 31st with a 5ft SSE swell, a 11-second period, good energy (471), and clean offshore wind. That’s a decent option, but not the absolute best.
Looking into the first week of August, there’s a couple of promising calls but they come with a "questionable tide" note. The one that really stands out is on Tuesday the 4th of August. The morning session has glassy conditions, a 4ft SE swell with a very long 13-second period, and a massive combined energy of 678. That long-period groundswell will wrap beautifully into this point, offering smooth, powerful lines. Crowds are an absolute certainty here though, so get there early.
The best sessions overall are Friday the 24th of July for a clean, all-rounder day, and Tuesday morning, August 4th, for that glassy, long-period magic.
Stay stoked, catch you in the water.
Rusty.

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.
