Table - best surf conditions forecast for Long Beach over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for the Long Beach stretch.
Straight up, I gotta be honest with you – it's a tough stretch ahead. Looking at the whole 16-day window, there's really nothing to get excited about. The swell's coming in from the ENE, sometimes straight E, but that wind is a killer. It's cross-on, day after day, blowing 16 to 23 mph, keeping the surface all lumpy and choppy. It’s a real shame because the water temp is sitting at a nice 82°, which is about average for this time of year, but you won't be enjoying it.
We kick off on Friday the 10th of July with a 7 ft ENE swell, but the cross-onshore wind is cranking at 23 mph, and the wave comment is "poor surf conditions." That sums it up. That trend just keeps going. Saturday the 11th and Sunday the 12th are the same story – swell around 6 ft to 7 ft, but the wind is relentless. The combined wave energy is moderate (around 629 to 373), but it’s all wasted energy with that onshore wind messing everything up.
The whole first week is a write-off. We go through Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, all with cross-on winds and "poor surf conditions." The swell does drop a little, down to 5 ft by Wednesday afternoon, but it doesn't matter with the wind howling. The period is short, only 7 to 8 seconds, so it's just wind-slop, not a proper groundswell.
Into the second week, it's more of the same. From the 16th right through to the 25th, we're looking at cross-on winds from the E and ENE, with swell heights bouncing between 4 ft and 7 ft. The energy picks up a bit on the 25th of July, hitting 454 in the morning and 485 in the afternoon, but again, the wind is still cross-on from the E at 16 mph. The period is still short, 7 to 8 seconds. This is a beach break, and with that much chop, it's honestly looking more interesting for the kite surfers than for us paddle guys.
So, bottom line: there are no good surf options in this 16-day window. It's a blank run, and for this area, that's just how it goes sometimes. Don't hold your breath, but keep an eye on the forecasts – things can 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.
