The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. I’m not gonna sugarcoat it – the next two weeks are a total washout for Long Beach. Water temp’s about 85°, normal for the season, but that’s the only thing that’s normal. Everything else is a mess.
We start on September 6th with a weak 3-foot east swell, short period, and a moderate cross-onshore breeze at 16 mph. Wave energy is weak (168). It’s just choppy, poor conditions. And it doesn’t get better. Swell bumps up to around 6-7 feet by the 9th with moderate energy (494), but the wind cranks to 19 mph, making it lumpy and ugly. By the 10th there’s a thunderstorm risk and wind up to 22 mph – that’s more for kite surfers than anyone on a shortboard.
There is not a single standout session in the whole 16-day window. It’s a solid gap of nothing. From now through September 21st, it’s constant east to east-northeast winds, cross-onshore, and short-period slop. Crowds don’t matter because nobody’s out. The break faces east, but the best swell direction would be southeast – so the angle is wrong anyway.
This is just one of those dead runs for the area. Hang the board up, check the forecast later, and hope it changes. As it stands, don’t bother.
Rusty.

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