The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty, and here’s your local surf outlook.
We’ve got a run of surf coming up at Lambe Lambe, a point break that rarely breaks — so when it does, you want to be on it. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, nothing out of the ordinary there.
Kicking off Thursday morning, 13 August, we’ve got a nice 5 ft swell from the SSE with a 14-second period — that’s proper groundswell with good energy (844). Winds are light offshore from the SSW, so conditions will be clean. This is the standout of the whole outlook, no question. Thursday afternoon sees the swell holding at 5 ft from the SSE but period drops to 13 seconds and wind shifts to a cross-off from the SSE, making it a bit more average — still surfable, but not as good.
Friday morning, 14 August, glassy conditions with WNW winds at 6 mph, swell 4 ft from the SSE, period 13 seconds, energy moderate (690). It’ll be clean and inviting. Friday afternoon goes glassy again with no wind, swell picking back to 5 ft from the SSE, energy 832 — another very good session.
From Saturday, 15 August, things go flat and ordinary. We’ve got onshore winds and small, short-period junk for several days. Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday — all poor with weak energy and messy conditions. There’s a brief moment Tuesday morning, 18 August, with offshore S winds at 12 mph and 4 ft from the ENE, but the energy is low (249) and it’s nothing special. Tuesday afternoon gets a 8 ft S swell with 8-second period and strong 25 mph offshore winds — that’s strong offshore, clean but hard to paddle into, and only for experts.
Wednesday, 19 August, starts glassy with a tiny 3 ft S swell, then dies off. Thursday, 20 August, is flat. Friday, 21 August, shows some life: morning cross-off winds and 4 ft from the ENE, then Friday afternoon has a clean 4 ft from the S with light offshore SSE winds and moderate energy (369) — that’s good.
Saturday, 22 August, morning brings moderate offshore S winds at 16 mph, 4 ft from the S, energy 309, good and clean. The real highlight after that first Thursday is Sunday, 23 August: morning has 5 ft from the S, 9-second period, gentle offshore S winds, energy 469 — solid, clean surf. Sunday afternoon holds 5 ft from the S, 10-second period, cross-off ESE winds, energy 493, still good.
Monday, 24 August, is small and ordinary, and from there the surf fades into small, short-period swells with onshore or cross winds. There’s a glimmer on Thursday, 27 August afternoon: glassy calm, 5 ft from the S, 7-second period, energy 337 — not a classic but clean enough for a paddle.
Bottom line: Thursday 13 August morning is your absolute pick — head to Lambe Lambe early for the best combo of size, period, and light offshore wind. Friday morning and Sunday 23 August are also strong runners. The rest of the fortnight is patchy, with plenty of flat or mediocre days in between.
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.
