Lambe Lambe Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, grab your board and listen up. It’s been a bit flat and quiet for us, but there’s a flash of gold on the horizon if you're patient. We’re looking at a 16-day window and it’s a slow start, with a big gap of nothing special until that real standout appears.

The first real window of surfable waves is going to be Lambe Lambe. This break is a point break, which is good news for handling what’s coming. It’s incredibly inconsistent and rarely breaks, so when it does, you want to be on it. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing crazy.

For the first week, from Wednesday the 19th through to Sunday the 23rd of August, it’s mostly small, ordinary waves. You’ll see some clean, glassy mornings on Thursday the 20th and Saturday the 22nd with tiny 3ft to 4ft, short-period (8 seconds) ENE and S swells. Combined energy is weak to moderate (around 108-254) – nice for a log if you’ve got nothing better to do, but nothing to get excited about. Friday afternoon and Saturday afternoon have a bit more size, up to 3ft from the S, but still very ordinary.

Now, Monday the 24th of August is our standout. This is the one to circle on the calendar. We get a serious increase in size and quality. Monday morning delivers a clean 7ft swell from the SSE with a long period of 13 seconds. That’s a proper groundswell, but at a point break like Lambe Lambe, that long period will wrap in beautifully, shaping up well. The combined energy jumps to a massive 1457 – that’s strong wave energy. Conditions are clean with a light offshore breeze. This is for experienced surfers only, as 7ft over a long period packs a punch. Monday afternoon drops a bit to 6ft (1181 energy), but the wind swings cross-shore, so the morning is your session.

After that, the outlook gets messy. From Tuesday the 25th through to the end of the month, we’re looking at onshore winds, rain, and poor conditions. The waves are small (2ft to 5ft) and mostly short period, with energy dropping back into the weak to moderate range. There’s a little blip on Friday the 28th and Sunday the 30th with small, clean, offshore 3ft to 3ft ENE swells, but it’s not worth the wait compared to that Monday session.

Heading into September, the first week is flat and ordinary again – small 2ft to 4ft swells, weak energy, and nothing with any punch. The long-range stuff is promising but less certain.

So the takeaway is simple: if you’re an experienced surfer, clear your Monday the 24th of August. That morning is the only time this spot will truly fire. Everything else is just waiting around.
