Lymans Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for Lymans over the next couple of weeks.

Honestly, the start of this outlook is pretty quiet. We’re looking at a real slow burn. The first solid chance of anything decent doesn't really show up until Friday the 21st. Before that, from Sunday the 16th right through Thursday the 20th, it’s all poor surf conditions with tiny waves.

Friday morning the 21st is still small, but by Friday afternoon, things finally get interesting. The wind goes glassy, which is a huge plus, and there’s a 2ft swell coming from the SSW with a solid 16-second period. The combined wave energy is moderate (178). It’s still just surfable, but that glassy wind will make it feel cleaner than it should be. This is your first real window to get wet.

Saturday the 22nd and Sunday the 23rd are a bit of a letdown again, with the wind turning back cross-onshore and energy dropping. The pattern stays messy through Monday the 24th and Tuesday the 25th. Tuesday afternoon does see a bump in combined energy to 335, but the conditions are still described as marginal, so don’t get too excited.

Now, the best window in the whole 16-day run looks like Thursday the 27th through the end of the month. Thursday morning (27th) shows a 3ft SSW swell with a whopping combined energy of 557 – that’s strong wave energy. The morning is still marginal, but by Thursday afternoon the wind goes glassy again, the swell holds at 3ft, and the energy is still high at 397. That’s the standout session: glassy, groundswell, and enough push for a fun wave at Lymans. It’s a reef and point break here, so that longer period (15 seconds) will wrap in nicely.

We then get a lull on Friday the 28th and Saturday the 29th as a tiny, short-period NNE windswell moves in. The combined energy drops to 76 and then 29 – very weak.

But hold on. Sunday morning the 30th is another real ripper. We see a 2ft SSW groundswell with a very long 19-second period and glassy wind again. Combined energy is a strong 390. This is groundswell perfection for a point break like Lymans (Region_URL). The sets will be clean, lined up, and worth the paddle. The water temperature is sitting at about 81°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year, so no surprises there.

The outlook ends on Monday the 31st with a building 2ft SSW swell and moderate energy (344), but the wind turns cross-onshore and drops the quality back to marginal.

So, my two picks for the best waves: Thursday 27th afternoon and Sunday 30th morning. Both have glassy wind, solid groundswell, and solid energy. These are the sessions to pencil in.
