The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break down Akabane Long Beach in feet and miles.
First few days are a bust. From 30 July through the afternoon of 3 August, there’s no surf worth talking about. Swell is tiny, under 2 feet, and the wind is all over the place. A frustrating start.
Then, on the morning of Sunday 4 August, we get a pulse: 3 feet from the SE, with a 16-second period. That’s proper groundswell. The wind is offshore from the NW at only 3 mph, and it’s clean. Combined wave energy is moderate (460). Not huge, but clean and structured.
The real highlight is the morning of Tuesday 6 August through Wednesday 7 August. Swell pushes to 10 feet from the SE, with a 16-second period. The energy is strong at 3937. Wind is glassy on Tuesday morning, just 3 mph from the SE. That’s nearly perfect. But at 10 feet, this is for experts only. Expect a crowd.
By Wednesday 7 August morning, the swell hits 13 feet from the SE (16 seconds, energy 8995), but the wind turns cross-onshore from the ESE at 9 mph, so it’ll be lumpy. Still, huge power.
The afternoon of 7 August through 9 August is a mess – 16 to 21 feet of swell with wind at 18-22 mph cross-onshore. That’s kite-surfing territory, not paddle surfing.
From 10 August onward, it gets marginal. The morning of 14 August is a bright spot: 8 feet from the ESE (12 seconds), glassy wind from the S at 3 mph, and it’s “excellent for experienced surfers” (energy 1701). Clean and solid for the skilled crew.
Standout windows: Tuesday 4 August morning and Tuesday 6 August morning. One is smaller and cleaner, the other is bigger and glassy. Your call.
Rusty.

Information about the Akabane Long Beach Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Akabane Long Beach provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Akabane Long Beach can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Akabane Long Beach surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Akabane Long Beach) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Akabane Long Beach may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
