The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here, and I’m not gonna sugarcoat it—this 16-day stretch is a total dud. From Monday, September 7th, all the way through Tuesday, September 22nd, there’s not a single wave worth paddling out for at Lido Beach. Let’s walk through it.
The only spot we’ve got is Lido Beach, a beach and jetty break. The water’s a warm 75°, which is about 5° above the norm for this time of year—much warmer than usual, but that doesn’t help the surf. The combined swell energy is weak, barely hitting 39 (39) on the first Monday morning, and most days it’s in the 10 to 30 range—real weak.
Monday morning, September 7th, had a tiny 1ft east swell, 10-second period, with a cross-offshore breeze from the NW at 9 mph. Clean, but “poor surf conditions” says it all—score of 0 out of 10. The afternoon drops to 1ft with a cross-on wind. Tuesday, September 8th, is even smaller at 0.7ft, 9-second period, and the wind shifts around, but it’s all poor. Wednesday, September 9th, the afternoon throws up a 5ft south swell, but it’s onshore at 22 mph, period a lousy 5 seconds, energy at 105 (105)—just a blown-out mess. That’s the biggest swell we see.
From Thursday, September 10th, through the rest of the week, it’s tiny—0.7ft to 4ft—with onshore or cross-shore winds. Periods are short, mostly under 8 seconds, so it’s wind chop. Saturday, September 12th, and Sunday, September 13th, are both under 1ft and blown onshore. The next week, from Monday, September 14th, to Tuesday, September 22nd, it’s more of the same. The biggest pulse comes Monday afternoon, September 14th, with a 6ft south swell, 6-second period, onshore wind at 19 mph, energy at 420 (420)—but it’s a total mess, only good for kite surfing. The rest of the days are tiny, 0.3ft to 3ft, with clean conditions here and there, but the swell is non-existent.
There’s a small hope on Sunday morning, September 20th, with glassy conditions and a 1ft SE swell at 11 seconds, but it’s still too small. The last few days, September 21st and 22nd, are all onshore and weak.
Lido Beach is fairly consistent, so a blank run like this is a bit unusual, but it happens. No standouts, no hidden gems. The swell direction is mostly south or southeast, but the optimum is SSE, and it’s just not lining up. Keep the faith, though—forecasts can change, and it rarely stays this flat for long.
Rusty, out.

Information about the Lido Beach Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Lido Beach provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Lido Beach can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Lido Beach 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 (Lido Beach) 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 Lido Beach 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.
Lido Beach is 4 km (2 miles) from Long Beach. If you plan a vacation in Long Island New York, look for hotels and other accommodation in Long Beach. Long Beach has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
