Alright folks, Rusty here. Let me tell ya, it’s a tough stretch ahead. We’re looking at Long Beach, and honestly, the story is the same day after day. We’ve got a pretty persistent easterly swell running, but the wind is just wrecking any chance of quality. For the entire 16-day window, the wind is locked in from the east or east-northeast, and it’s blowing a solid 15 to 25 mph, with afternoon cross-on conditions every single day. That’s a major problem. The wave energy is mostly moderate, ranging from about 145 up to 866, so there’s plenty of water moving, but that onshore flow is just chopping everything up.
From the very start, Saturday the 4th of July, we’re looking at 6.6 ft easterly swell with a short 8-second period, and the water's already a warm 82.6°, which is about average for the time of year. But the wind is 19 mph from the east, so it's messy. This pattern doesn’t let up. The swell actually builds a touch through the week, peaking around Thursday the 9th of July with an 8.2 ft easterly swell, but again, that 25 mph cross-on wind means “poor surf conditions” is all she wrote.
Because of that relentless cross-on wind, there are zero standout sessions in this entire 16-day outlook. The surf stays in the 3.9 ft to 8.2 ft range from the east or east-northeast, but the period never climbs above 8 or 9 seconds, so it’s all short-period wind swell. The wind is just too strong, and too consistently on it. Honestly, with that much swell and that much wind over a beach setup, this looks way more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
So, the honest truth is there are no good surf options on the table. It’s a blank run, plain and simple.

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.
