The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. The full 16-day outlook points to only one spot worth your time – Akabane Long Beach. There’s nothing happening until the end of August, so don’t bother checking the first few days. From Saturday the 29th we see some small, mediocre waves, but the real gem comes later.
Saturday the 29th is a waste – risk of thunderstorms and a bumpy 4ft SSW swell on a short 6-second period, with weak energy (244). The afternoon glass-off drops it to 3ft, but it’s still nothing special. Sunday the 30th through roughly Wednesday the 3rd of September is a total blank – tiny, poor surf around 2ft to 2ft with onshore junk.
The standout session is on Friday the 4th of September. Early morning at Akabane Long Beach has clean offshore wind from the north at just 3 mph, grooming a 4ft south swell with a solid 10-second period. Combined energy comes in at a moderate 522 and conditions are clean. This is the best pick – the offshore breeze will keep the waves lined up nicely. For the more experienced crew, the afternoon sees the swell jump to 7ft, but a cross-onshore sea breeze from the southeast at 12 mph will mess it up, so go early.
Saturday the 5th and Sunday the 6th are blown out by strong easterlies, with the swell hitting 8ft to 10ft. Combined energy rockets to 1160 and 1364, but with near-gale cross-shore winds, it’s a mess. The swell is too big for beginners, and the wind is too strong for paddle surfing – this setup looks better for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
There’s a long gap of poor conditions from Monday the 7th to Wednesday the 9th, with messy 7ft to 10ft swell and strong onshore winds. By the 8th and 9th, the swell is still 6ft to 7ft but the wind eases to a light breeze. It’s marginal but ridable for those with experience.
Another promising window opens on Friday the 11th of September. Morning again shows clean offshore wind from the NNW at 3 mph, with a 4ft east swell on a 9-second period and combined energy of 388. It won’t be big but it’ll be clean. Saturday the 12th morning also looks decent – a gentle offshore from the northwest at 9 mph with a 2ft SSW swell on a long 11-second period, giving 292 energy. This is classic groundswell for the point, but it’s small, so best for a longboard.
Sunday the 13th morning has zero wind – glassy conditions with a 4ft ESE swell on a 9-second period. Combined energy is 415. For a Sunday with clean conditions, it’s a solid choice. The afternoon will see a seabreeze pick up from the SSE, so get out before midday.
Akabane Long Beach is very consistent, but you won’t be alone – crowds are “often” around. The best swell direction is SSE, and the forecast swells from S and E work fine for this exposed beach. Water temperature is a warm 83°, which is about average for the time of year.
That’s the full story. Paddle out early on the 4th, or save your energy for the 11th and 12th. Rusty.
