The Lowdown
Righto, let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
To be honest, mate, it’s a bit of a mixed bag for Akabane Long Beach. The first few days are pretty average, with messy conditions and minimal swell. You’ll be staring at flat, choppy water for the first couple of days. The real action doesn’t start to show until Friday the 4th.
Thursday afternoon the 3rd sees a bit of a turn with a clean offshore breeze from the NNW at 12 mph, but the swell is only 3 ft from the south, so it’s small and ordinary. Friday the 4th, though, is where it starts to get a bit more interesting. We’ve got a light cross-offshore wind from the NNE, swell lifting to 4 ft from the south with a period of 10 seconds, and the combined energy is moderate at 261. It’s clean, and the morning session should be the pick. The water temp is sitting at 83°, which is about normal for this time of year, so no surprises there.
Saturday the 5th and Sunday the 6th are write-offs – the wind swings onshore and gets strong, with a messy cross-chop that’ll have you fighting for any sort of ride. The swell jumps up to 7 ft on Sunday morning, but with a fresh 19 mph crosswind, it’s just a washing machine. Not worth it.
Monday the 7th is a surprise. The wind drops right back to a light cross-offshore from the NE, and the swell sits at 5 ft from the east, period 6 seconds. It’s clean, but the period is short, so the waves will be a bit crumbly and weak. Still, it’s the best we’ve seen in a while. The combined energy is moderate at 213. If you’re keen, get out there early.
Then things go a bit wild. From Tuesday the 8th, the wind cranks up again, and by Wednesday the 9th, we’ve got a serious swell event – 18 ft from the SSE with a 13-second period and a combined energy of 10386. That’s a massive, powerful groundswell. But the wind is a fresh cross-onshore, so it’s going to be lumpy, messy, and dangerous. This is for experts only, and honestly, the conditions are so poor that even the big swell won’t save it. This setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
The Thursday the 10th is a tease – the swell is still huge at 12 ft, and the wind is lighter, but it’s still cross-onshore, and the waves are just too big for this beach. The file says it’s too big for the break, so unless you’re a madman on a gun, give it a miss.
After that, the rest of the window is a slow grind of small, choppy, or blown-out surf. The swell drops, the wind stays onshore, and the only real highlight is the Monday the 7th and maybe a quick look at Friday the 4th. The best bet? Friday the 4th morning – clean, 4 ft from the south, light offshore wind. It’s not epic, but it’s the most user-friendly wave in the whole forecast.
