The Lowdown
Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let's get into what Akabane Long Beach has cookin' for us over the next couple of weeks. We've got a bit of a mixed bag ahead, so let's break it down.
The first real chance to get wet comes on Thursday, September 3rd, but honestly, it's nothing to write home about. Thursday morning is pretty ordinary with a weak 3ft S swell at 8 seconds and barely any energy (206). There's a risk of thunderstorms and a cross-shore breeze. Not worth the paddle out. By Thursday afternoon, the wind swings offshore from the NW at 12 mph, cleaning it up, but that tiny swell isn't going to give you much to work with.
Friday, September 4th is where things start looking a bit better. The morning session is the go with a clean 4ft S swell. The period bumps up to 10 seconds, and the offshore NNW wind at 12 mph will have the faces looking smooth. The energy is moderate (304). Friday afternoon still has some shape but a light rain and a cross-off wind take the edge off a bit.
Saturday, September 5th starts off okay for a session on the shortboard. The swell shifts to the ESE, coming in at 4ft and 7 seconds. That's a short period, so it won't have heaps of punch, but the light NE breeze in the morning keeps it clean. The energy is moderate (300). Stay out of the water by Saturday afternoon—the wind cranks up from the east at 19 mph and the conditions get lumpy fast.
Now, Sunday, September 6th is a write-off for the typical surfer. The swell jumps to a solid 10ft from the east, but it's accompanied by a strong breeze. That's too much juice for this break, and it'll be a mess. This kind of setup looks more interesting for the kite surfers than for paddle surfing.
The whole of the following week—from Sunday, September 7th through to Saturday, September 12th—is a complete no-go. Strong winds, onshore or cross-onshore the whole time, and the swell is either too big or too messy. It's a blank run, so don't even bother checking the forecast.
After that dry spell, Sunday, September 13th brings a ray of hope. The morning is clean with glassy-to-offshore NW wind at only 3 mph. The swell is a knee-to-waist-high 3ft from the south, but the period is 10 seconds and the energy is moderate (381). It's small, but it will be the cleanest wave we've seen in days.
The real standout in the whole 16-day window, and the one you should circle, is Thursday, September 10th. The afternoon session is looking like the absolute best on offer. We've got a clean 8ft S swell at 9 seconds, with light offshore NW wind at only 6 mph. The energy is strong (918). It's got size and it will be glassy. Expect some company though, as crowds are often around at Akabane Long Beach.
Looking way out to the second week, Friday, September 18th has a promising long-range look. The morning shows a solid 8ft SSE groundswell at 12 seconds, with a fresh offshore NW wind. The energy is very strong (2967). It'll be a powerful wave, but with a long period like that, it could be a bit straight at this beach break, needing the banks to be right. It's promising, but far out, so keep an eye on it.
The water temp is feeling about average for this time of year.
Rusty, signing off.

Information about the Akabane Long Beach Surf forecast
