The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break it down for Lancelin in feet and miles.
The water’s sitting at 65°, which is average for this time of year – nothing out of the ordinary.
We’ve got a solid run of swell coming in, but the wind’s going to be a factor. The first few days are a bit messy, but there are some proper clean windows.
Saturday the 5th starts with a lumpy 10ft WSW swell. The wind is cross-shore, putting a chop on it. The combined energy is strong at 3651, but the conditions are rough.
Sunday the 6th is a step up. The wind goes SSE, giving us a clean cross-off. The swell is 10ft from the SW in the morning, with a combined energy of 4149. The afternoon sees the swell at 10ft, but the wind picks up, so the morning is the call.
Monday the 7th is where it gets good. Clear skies, a 10ft WSW groundswell with a 17-second period, and a clean cross-off breeze. The energy is 5619. This is a standout for experienced surfers – the size is pushing into expert territory.
Tuesday the 8th keeps the run going. Another 10ft WSW swell, a 17-second period, and a clean cross-off from the ESE. The energy is even higher at 5714. A solid, consistent day.
Wednesday the 9th is a beauty. The morning has a fresh offshore wind from the east, cleaning up a 10ft WSW swell. The afternoon is the gem: the wind drops to a moderate offshore, the swell is 8ft, and the energy is 3211. Clean, lined-up waves – classic Lancelin.
Thursday the 10th sees the swell drop to 6ft, but the afternoon offers a glassy offshore wind with a 6ft WSW swell. The energy is 1348, but the clean conditions make it a lovely option for a smaller board.
The weekend of the 12th and 13th gets blown out with onshore winds, so give it a miss.
Now, the big one. Tuesday the 15th is the standout. The morning has a 10ft WSW swell with a clean offshore wind from the ENE. The energy is 4932. The afternoon is even better: a gentle cross-off, the swell holds at 10ft, and the energy jumps to 5288. For expert surfers, this is the session.
Wednesday the 16th is still pumping with a 10ft swell and a 17-second period, but the wind is cross-on.
Then, Saturday the 20th is a monster. The morning has a 13ft WSW swell with a clean cross-off breeze from the SSE. The energy is a massive 8972. This is advanced, big-wave territory. The afternoon sees the swell hit 16ft with an 18-second period, but the wind is a fresh cross-shore, so it’ll be lumpy. The morning of the 20th is a serious standout for the big-wave crew.
Best on offer: Tuesday the 15th, with clean, powerful 10ft waves. Monday the 7th and Tuesday the 8th are also excellent. For the brave, the morning of Saturday the 20th is a big-wave gem.
Rusty.

Information about the Lancelin Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Lancelin provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Lancelin can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Lancelin 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 (Lancelin) 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 Lancelin 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.
