Table - best surf conditions forecast for Long Beach over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here. Let's get real about what's on the table for Long Beach.
Looking at the whole 16-day window, from July 9th right through to July 24th, I gotta be straight with you—it’s a rough stretch. The forecast is a constant battle with a cross-onshore wind that just won't let up, and the swell, while it's there, is always bumpy and lumpy. It’s a tough time to be a paddle surfer.
The first recommendation doesn't come until Thursday, July 9th. The surf is showing up at 6.9 ft from the East, with a short period of 8 seconds. The combined energy out there is moderate at 632, but the wind is a fresh 22 mph cross-onshore from the ENE, creating poor conditions. That’s the story all the way through to the end of the month. Every single day from July 9th to July 24th is the same grim picture: wind from the E or ENE, 16 to 22 mph, always cross-on, making it lumpy and choppy. The swell height wobbles between 3.9 ft and 7.9 ft, but with that wind, it’s all just a messy, blown-out situation. The water temperature is about 82.8°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year.
There are no standout days. With the swell peaking around 7.9 ft on July 10th, it’s big enough to be a handful, but the wind makes it hopeless. The breaks are inconsistent, and with this persistent cross-onshore, it’s not looking good for a traditional paddle session. Honestly, for any surfer, this setup is more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. It’s a long, blank run of poor surf, and for this area, that’s unfortunately a bit more normal than we’d like.

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.
