The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – this forecast for Long Beach is a tough one to call. The whole 16-day window is a real struggle. We've got consistent swell, no doubt about it, but the wind just won't play ball.
Let's break it down. From Sunday the 19th right through to Monday the 3rd of August, the onshore wind is relentless. It's a constant cross-on from the east, blowing at 12 to 19 mph, which is a Fresh to Moderate breeze that's just destroying any chance of a clean face. While the swell is pushing through with moderate energy readings (between 134 and 509), it's all short-period, 6 to 9 seconds, windswell. The wave comment is "poor surf conditions" across the board, and that's exactly what we're looking at: lumpy, choppy, cross-onshore junk. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there.
The swell size is hanging around the 3 ft to 7 ft mark, which is a fun size, but it's just not rideable. The strongest energy comes at the end of July, with the 29th showing a combined energy of 509, but that's paired with a 19 mph cross-on and a period of just 8 seconds. It's a mess.
There's really no standout option here. This isn't a spot that's known for being consistent, so a blank run like this isn't totally unheard of. The forecast is locked in, and it's just not good news for paddle surfing. Honestly, with that consistent wind and swell, this setup on a beach break is looking more interesting for the kite surfers than us.
Stay patient, mates. The forecast can always change, but for now, I'd store the boards.

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.
