Alright, Rusty here. Let's break down the story for Long Beach.
We've got a solid two-week stretch ahead, and I've got to be straight with you – there’s no good surfing in this forecast. The same crummy pattern holds from start to finish: cross-onshore wind, dud swell period, and generally ugly water.
Starting Friday, July 3rd and going right through to Saturday, July 18th, the wind is hammering from the east and east-northeast at 15 to 25 mph, always cross-onshore. Swell heights bounce between 4 ft and 8 ft, but the period is stuck at 8 seconds – that's weak, short-period windswell. The combined energy of all swells directed here hits a moderate 819, but with that wind it’s meaningless. Expect lumpy, choppy, messy conditions every session.
In that first week, through July 9th, the swell sits around 6 ft to 8 ft, but cross-onshore winds ruin any chance of a clean wave. By July 10th, it gets bigger – up to 8 ft – and the wind hits 25 mph, making for an even worse mess. That's too much size for learners, and with this surface chop, even experienced surfers are better off staying home. Into the second week, from July 13th onward, the wind doesn't let up. The swell slowly fades from about 7 ft down to 4 ft by July 18th, but it’s still choppy and lumpy the whole way.
The swell is coming from the east, while the optimum direction here is southeast. So not only is the wind wrong, the swell direction is off too. The waves will be weak, sectiony, and hard to enjoy.
If you’re into kite surfing, this wind consistency might be your jam. For a surfer with a paddle in hand, it’s a long, blank run. The only hopeful note is that it gets smaller at the very end, but the quality never improves.
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.
