Alright, mate, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what’s on the table for Long Beach.
Honestly, it’s a tough stretch. We’ve got a solid run of swell coming in over the next couple of weeks, but the wind is the real killer here. It’s locked in from the east for days on end, which is a cross-onshore for this exposed setup. That means lumpy, choppy conditions from the get-go on Wednesday, July 8th, and it just doesn’t let up. The swell hangs around, pushing 7 ft to 8 ft from the east with a short, bumpy 8-second period, but with a fresh breeze in the 19-22 mph range, it’s going to be a messy, blown-out mess. The water’s sitting at a warm 83°, which is about what you’d expect for this time of year, but you won't be enjoying it in these conditions.
We see moderate wave energy through the first week (in the 565 to 831 range), but "poor surf conditions" is the story every single session. That doesn’t let up through the second week either. By the time we get to July 23rd, the swell drops off to 4 ft, the period shortens to 7 seconds, and the energy fades to a weak 181. Still cross-onshore. For an inconsistent spot like Long Beach, this is a real blank run. There’s simply no standout window here. This setup is more interesting for the kite crowd than anyone looking for a clean paddle session.
Forget about it, mate. We’ll have to wait for the forecast to change.
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.
