The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s look what’s on the menu for Akabane Long Beach.
We’re looking at a slow start with a lot of junk to wade through before anything good shows up. The water temp is 81°, which is bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises with the wetsuit – or lack of one.
The first real glimmer of hope comes Thursday morning, the 10th of September. We get a clean 5ft S swell with a light offshore from the NNW. The energy is weak, only 330 (combined swell energy), so it’s not a powerhouse, but the offshore wind will put a nice face on it. This one is for the intermediate surfer looking for a few clean ones.
Then the week goes flat and windy. Lots of cross-onshore junk and tiny swell until we hit a serious stand-out about a week and a half out. The 18th of September is a big turnaround. Friday afternoon we get a glassy 3ft SSE groundswell with a very long period of 17 seconds and a combined energy of 885 (moderate). That long period means this wave will have real push and shape, and with glassy conditions, it’ll be as clean as it gets. This is a prime pick.
Building on that, the 19th of September (Saturday) is the absolute highlight of the whole outlook. The morning serves up a glassy 7ft SSE swell with a long 16-second period and very strong energy of 2777. The afternoon gets even better: 8ft SSE with a 15-second period and a massive 4799 energy, still glassy. This is proper groundswell, and it’s going to be excellent for experienced surfers only – it’s too big for beginners at over 8 feet. The point and reef setups will handle the long period better than the beach, so keep that in mind.
After that, the 20th of September gets messy with cross-shore wind and the same-sized swell, so it won’t be as clean. The 21st blows up with a huge 10ft to 12ft S swell, but it’s predicted to be too big for this break. The same goes for the 22nd, which is washed out by a near-gale to gale force wind.
The real wild card is the 23rd of September (Wednesday) – with a 33ft S swell and 56030 energy. That’s absolutely massive and not for your average paddle surfer. The setup there looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
Thursday the 24th cleans up, with a clean 6ft S swell and 779 energy, a decent option to finish the run.
So, to keep it simple: the 18th afternoon and all of the 19th are your stand-outs. The 19th afternoon is the best on offer. Get on it.
Rusty.
