The Lowdown
Right, Rusty here from Akabane Long Beach. Gotta be straight with ya: the first week and a half is a write-off. Small, weak windswell, and that lumpy onshore wind has the place looking like a washing machine.
The one real moment to get excited about is Tuesday the 25th of August first thing. We've got glassy, flat-calm conditions and a chunky 10ft swell rolling in from the SSE with a long 15-second period. That's big, powerful groundswell (combined energy of 3840). For this beach, 10ft is expert-only territory. The waves will be thick and heavy. If you're not a seasoned pro, stay on the sand. The same swell hangs around into the afternoon, but the wind swings onshore and takes the shine off.
There’s a minor window the morning of Sunday the 23rd—glassy conditions on a tiny 3ft SSW swell (combined energy of 199). It’ll be clean but small. Good for a log or a slow morning, nothing more.
Everything else is small, choppy, cross-onshore, and not worth suiting up for. A couple of bigger swells show up in the second week (like 6ft on the 24th) but the wind is all wrong and it just gets messy.
If you’re experienced, set the alarm for the 25th. That’s the real deal. Everything else is a pass.

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.
