The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this stretch is a tough one.
For the whole 16-day window, the only surf break on offer is Long Beach. It’s an exposed, inconsistent spot, and the truth is we’ve got a solid run of no good surf here. The first recommendation is for Monday morning, July 27th, but it’s a write-off straight away. The wind is howling out of the East at 12 to 16 mph, cross-on all day, and the wave comment is "poor surf conditions" with a score of zero. You’ll be looking at a messy, choppy 3 ft to 4 ft windswell from the ENE with a short period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is weak to moderate at best (144-183). Water temp is sitting at 83°, which is about normal for this time of year.
This grim pattern locks in for days. The wind stays strong and cross-on, the swell jumps up to 5 ft to 8 ft from the East through the middle of the week, but it’s all lumpy, messy, and blown out. The combined energy climbs into the moderate range (218-736), but with that fresh to strong breeze, it’s not going to be any fun for paddle surfing. With that much wind and that size at a beach setup, it honestly looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
The pattern barely changes into the weekend of August 1st and 2nd. Swell drops a little to 4 ft-5 ft, but still cross-on, still choppy, still poor. This goes on and on. We go through a whole week of cross-on wind and poor conditions. The swell period stays short, between 6 and 8 seconds, so it’s all weak windswell. The combined energy fluctuates but stays in the low to moderate range.
Even into the second week, from August 3rd to August 11th, it’s the same old story. The wind is relentless from the East, cross-on, and the surf is consistently poor. There’s a bit of a bump on the 7th and 8th, with swell around 6 ft to 6 ft, but the wind is still there to wreck it. The combined energy hits 391 on the 7th, but it’s still messy.
There is no standout. There is no best day. This is a full 16-day blank run for decent surf. It’s a tough one, but it’s what we’ve got. Forecasts can change, but for now, save your energy.
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.
