The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Right, let’s have a proper look at what Akabane Long Beach has on offer over the next couple of weeks. Straight up, it ain’t gonna be a classic run for most of the period, but there are a couple of windows where it might just come together.
Overall, the pattern is pretty average. We’ve got a slow start with messy winds and lumpy conditions dominating the first week. There’s a decent pulse of swell early on, but the wind just won’t play ball for clean, lined-up surf. The real standout is looking like Monday the 8th of September, which is a fair way out, but it’s got the makings of something special if it holds.
Alright, let’s start from the beginning. Tuesday the 25th of August kicks off with a 7ft SSE swell (2422 – strong energy) but the wind is a cross-onshore at 9 mph, keeping things choppy and messy. Not one to get excited about. The afternoon gets even worse with the wind picking up to 12 mph and the swell going a bit lumpy. Wednesday the 26th is a slight improvement in the morning with a 6ft S swell (1154 – moderate energy) and a light cross-shore breeze, but it’s still just marginal. Wind swings again in the arvo. Thursday and Friday are more of the same—small, choppy, and average. The only real highlight in this early stretch is Friday morning the 28th of August. We get a clean window with NNW offshore wind at just 3 mph and a 3ft S swell (258 – weak energy). It’s small and the period is short at 8 seconds, so it won’t be a power session, but it’ll be the cleanest waves of this first week. A good little window for a log or a fish.
We then hit a big gap with very poor conditions from Saturday the 29th through to the end of the first week and into the start of September. Tiny swells, onshore winds, and lumpy seas. Nothing worth paddling out for.
Now, the promising bit. Looking way out to Monday the 8th of September, this is the one to circle. The morning shows a 8ft SSE swell (1079 – moderate energy) with a light offshore wind from the NW at 6 mph. The forecast says excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers, and that’s because the swell is solid—over 5ft so it’s a bit much for beginners, and at 8ft it’s on the edge of being too big for the less confident. The period is 10 seconds, so it has some push, but it’s not a long-period groundswell, so it should still wrap in nicely here at Akabane Long Beach. The combined energy is moderate (1079), but the real draw is the clean offshore wind. This could be a proper session, but keep in mind it’s over a week away, so don’t lock it in just yet—forecasts can change.
One thing to note: Akabane Long Beach is exposed to the swell, and it breaks very consistently, so when the conditions are right, it can fire. On that Monday the 8th, the crowd could be a factor—this spot is often busy, so get in early if you can. Water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual.
So, to wrap it up: the first week is mostly a write-off with only that Friday morning the 28th offering a clean, small-wave option. The real prize is Monday the 8th of September—if the offshore wind holds, that’s the one to aim for. Everything else is a pass.
Rusty.
