The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s get into it.
Right off the bat, we’ve got a tough run ahead at Akabane Long Beach. The first few days are flat or just plain messy, so don’t even bother paddling out until Sunday morning. That’s when things start to wake up.
Sunday, August 2nd – Morning is the real standout here. We’ve got a clean 3 ft swell coming from the SE, with a solid 16-second period pushing some serious energy (453). The wind is offshore from the NW, light and glassy – that’s about as good as it gets for a clean session. This is the best on offer in the whole outlook. The water is sitting at 82°, which is pretty much normal for this time of year, so no surprises there.
Sunday afternoon, the wind swings onshore and the swell bumps up to 4 ft, but the quality drops off. It’s marginal.
Monday, August 3rd sees the swell building to 5 ft in the morning, but the wind is cross-onshore, making it choppy. By afternoon, it’s 6 ft and even messier. Not worth it.
Tuesday, August 4th – morning is 8 ft with cross-onshore wind, still choppy. The afternoon though, the swell hits 10 ft, the wind is light and onshore, and the energy is huge (6158). The issue is, this is too big for most – it’s expert-only territory. The break is exposed and this size with onshore wind is a beast.
From Wednesday, August 5th through to the end of the run, it’s a downward spiral. The swell gets huge – up to 16 ft – but the wind is consistently cross-onshore, strong, and messy. The energy numbers go through the roof (up to 15546), but with those winds, it’s just a washing machine. This is more for kite surfers than paddle surfers. The conditions are poor, and the scores reflect that.
There’s a long gap of poor conditions from Wednesday afternoon all the way through to Sunday, August 16th. The swell slowly drops back to under 3 ft, but the wind never really cleans up. A few mornings have light winds, but the swell is weak and the period is short (9 seconds), so it’s not going to give you anything worth driving for.
Bottom line: If you’re looking for a window, it’s Sunday morning, August 2nd. That’s your one good shot. After that, it’s either too big, too windy, or too flat. Stay patient.
Rusty.
