The Lowdown
Ah, lookin' at the charts for Long Beach here, and straight up, it's a tough beat for the next two weeks. I'm Rusty, and I gotta tell ya, this stretch is a write-off for anything decent. The whole 16-day window is a blank run – not a single session worth paddlin' out for.
From Saturday the 15th all the way through to Sunday the 30th of August, it's the same story. We got a constant, ugly cross-onshore wind hammerin' the beach, mostly out of the east and east-northeast, blowin' anywhere from 9 mph right up to a nasty 22 mph. That breeze is just chewin' up every bit of swell that tries to show. The water’s warm, around 84°, which is pretty normal for this time of year, but you won't care about the temp when you're gettin' blown off ya board.
There is wave energy there, sure. In fact, on Saturday morning the 15th, the combined energy hits 1581 – that’s some serious power – with a 10-foot swell from the east. But with a 10-second period and that onshore carnage, it's just a washing machine for experts only, and lumpy to boot. The size drops, the wind doesn't let up. Even the smaller days, like around 3 feet, are still choppy and blown out. The poor conditions tag is on every single time slot. It's all cross-onshore and messy, no way around it.
Honestly, if you're lookin' for a paddle, this ain't the spot. With that constant wind and lumpy surf, this setup would be more fun for the kite surfers than anyone on a regular board. A long, disappointing stretch. Keep an eye on the charts, though; it tends not to stay this poor forever.

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.
