The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here. Let’s break down Akabane Long Beach.
We’re starting slow. Thursday the 3rd is nothing special – small 3ft southerly swells with weak energy, so don’t paddle out expecting much. Friday the 4th morning brings a clean 4ft south swell, 10-second period, and a moderate offshore NNW wind at 25 km/h – that’s got some push (energy 301), so get in early. Friday afternoon drops off.
Saturday the 5th is a bit of a mixed bag. Morning stays small at 3ft, but the afternoon jumps to 5ft from the ESE with a short 7-second period – not the cleanest shape. Sunday the 6th morning is the real deal: glassy, 8ft ESE swell, 8-second period, and energy at 746. Water’s 82°F, about average for now. That’s your best window – clean, punchy, uncrowded early. Sunday afternoon gets too big (12ft) and choppy with 25 km/h cross-shore wind – that’s only for experts or kite surfers.
Monday the 7th is a washout with heavy rain and strong winds. Tuesday the 8th morning stands out for experienced crew: 8ft from the SSE, 10-second period, light offshore breeze, and excellent conditions (energy 1407). That’s powerful and clean but not for beginners. From Wednesday the 9th through Tuesday the 16th, it’s a rough stretch – onshore winds, storms, and chop. Not much good in there.
Then Thursday the 17th morning delivers again: 5ft southerly swell, 9-second period, light WNW cross-off wind, clean, with energy at 530 – a solid finish after the dry spell. Friday the 18th fades back to small.
So, the picks are Sunday the 6th morning (glassy, 8ft) and Tuesday the 8th morning (big, clean, expert). Thursday the 17th morning is also worth a paddle. The long gap from the 9th to the 16th is typical for here – it’ll turn around.
Catch you out there.

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.

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.
