The Lowdown
Okay, crew, Rusty here again. Let’s call it like it is for Long Beach for the next couple of weeks. There’s swell on the cards, with moderate wave energy hitting a high of 463 on Thursday the 11th. But the wind is the enemy here. It’s locked in from the east, blowing a fresh 19 to 22 mph cross-onshore almost every single day, making it lumpy, choppy, and altogether ugly. The swell is from the east too, which is cross-onshore at this exposed spot, and with a short 7 to 8-second period, these waves won't have any power or shape.
Honestly, there are no standout sessions. The forecast screams 'poor surf conditions' for every single entry across the whole 16-day window. Starting Monday the 7th, we have 4ft to 5ft of weak wind swell, but with that onshore breeze, don't bother paddling out. The water temp is around 85°, about average for the time of year, but with the wind, it won’t feel like a tropical dream.
Midweek, around the 9th and 10th, the swell actually builds to 6ft with combined energy over 380, but the wind just gets stronger. It's still cross-onshore, so the waves will be a bumpy mess. By the weekend of the 13th and 14th, the swell drops back to 3ft to 5ft, but the onshore wind never quits. It’s the same story: fresh cross-onshore wind and lumpy surf.
Later in the second week, around the 17th and 18th, we get another pulse of 5ft swell from the east, but it's the same old story – onshore wind, short period. Nothing changes. With the persistent wind and the beach break setup, this honestly looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. The break is 'inconsistent' anyway, so a stretch of poor surf like this, while a bummer, isn't totally out of the ordinary. Stick with it, you know how forecasts can flip.
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.
