G'day, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for the next couple of weeks at Akabane Long Beach.
Right off the bat, we've got a massive pulse of swell hitting, but it's a case of too much of a good thing. The combined wave energy is enormous, clocking in at over 4000 (4112) early on Friday the 10th of July, and it just keeps climbing. The swell is coming from the south at a solid 10ft with a 16-second period – that's a proper, long-period groundswell, but it's going to be way too big for this break. The wind is glassy on Friday morning, a real gem for cleanliness, but that swell size is just too powerful. It's an expert-only zone if you're brave, but the truth is, the forecast says it's too big for the break itself. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing to write home about.
This big, powerful swell hangs around through the weekend. Saturday the 11th sees it peak, with 12ft swell and energy hitting over 7000 (7146). Again, glassy morning conditions with a northwest breeze, but you're looking at a seriously heavy, powerful wave that's only for the most experienced. The swell direction is straight from the south, which is a good match for the break's optimum, but the size is the issue. Sunday the 12th is still pumping with 10ft swell and offshore winds in the morning, but the same problem persists – it's just too big for a fun, manageable session.
We finally get a break in the action on Monday the 13th of July. The swell drops to a much more manageable 5ft, and with a cross-offshore wind from the northwest, things are looking clean. The energy is down to 864, which is moderate. The period is still a nice 12 seconds, so you'll get some solid, lined-up waves. This is a very good window for the intermediate surfer who's been waiting for the ocean to settle down. Tuesday the 14th starts with a tiny 4ft, glassy swell, but it's pretty small. From Tuesday afternoon right through to the end of the third week of July, the surf goes flat. There's a long gap of about a week and a half where the swell drops below 3ft, with onshore winds and poor conditions. The energy drops to double digits (88-188), and the waves are just not worth paddling out for.
The next real highlight pops up way down the line on Friday the 24th of July. We've got a new, clean 4ft S swell rolling in with a 13-second period. The combined energy is a solid 706, and the wind is glassy in the morning. This is a proper standout session for the area, especially after such a long flat spell. It's not huge, but it will be clean and lined up. Saturday the 25th of July still has some size at 6ft, but the wind swings onshore and the conditions get messy, making it a marginal call.
So, the best bet is clear: Monday the 13th of July for the best balance of size and clean conditions, and then keep your eye on Friday the 24th of July for another great, glassy morning session.
Rusty.
