Long Beach is actually a series of beaches stretching for over 10km (6mi), where usually mellow waves provide an endless choice for the many surf schools that operate on this stretch. Closes-out when the waves get overhead and there can be some currents, so lifeguards are on duty July & August.

This graph shows the percentage of days that had a ridable wind swell (7 seconds period or more) or groundswell (10 seconds period or more) of over 3ft. It also shows the dominant wind direction. Not all of these days will neccessarily give great surf, and very short lived wind swells or longer period secondary swells may produce surf not recorded, but it gives a clear idea of the seasonal trend and a rough guide to the chances of scoring something ridable.
