The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let's check out the surf picture for the next couple of weeks.
The first few days are a bit of a struggle with a lot of lumpy conditions. The one to really lock in on is Monday morning, August 10th. That's the day.
The best bet is Akabane Long Beach. It's a very consistent spot, so it's always worth a look. The water is about 80°, which is pretty normal for the time of year, just a hair cooler. On Monday morning, we're looking at a clean 4ft swell from the SSW, with a period of 11 seconds. That's a proper groundswell. The real beauty is the wind – it's going to be glassy. That means the surface will be flat and smooth. The combined wave energy is moderate at 907, so there's some decent power. Perfect for the intermediate surfer. Just be aware the wind is supposed to turn onshore in the afternoon, so get out there early.
There's another good window later on. Saturday, August 15th, is looking solid. Saturday morning we've got a clean 5ft from the ESE (8 seconds) with a light cross-offshore breeze, and the afternoon gets even better with a clean 6ft from the ESE, still 8 seconds, and offshore winds. That afternoon session is a winner. The energy is moderate at 648, so you'll get some fun, punchy waves.
After that, the forecast gets messy again with a lot of wind. There's a tiny window on Thursday morning, August 20th, with a glassy 3ft from the SSE, but it's not a standout. The bigger 7ft swell that afternoon comes with a strong onshore wind, so that's a no-go.
So to wrap it up: the absolute best is Monday morning, August 10th, for the early glass. The second best is the afternoon of Saturday, August 15th. After that, it's a bit of a wait-and-see. Keep your ear to the ground.
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.

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.
