The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I’m looking at the next 16 days for Akabane Long Beach. Let’s be straight with you: the first week is a tough one. For the first few days, that onshore wind and poor quality just isn’t worth paddling out for. There’s a real gap of no good surf from Thursday the 27th right through the rest of August and into the first days of September.
The first real glimmer of hope comes on the morning of Friday the 28th of August. The wind swings offshore from the NNW at 12 mph, and that makes a big difference. The swell is a small 4 ft from the S, but with a short period of 8 seconds, it’s not going to have much shape. The energy is moderate (269). The water is sitting at 83°, which is about the 2°F above normal anomaly, so it’s a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. This is a small, clean option, but it’s a marginal one.
The second week is where things get interesting, but it’s also where we get some real size. The standout morning is Wednesday the 9th of September. The wind is glassy, coming from the E at only 3 mph, and the swell is a solid 8 ft from the S with a long period of 13 seconds. That’s a groundswell with some serious energy (1844), and it’ll be a clean, powerful wave. For experienced surfers, this is the best on offer. The period is long, so it’ll be better shaped but expect longer lulls between sets. This is a session for those who know what they’re doing.
After that, we get absolutely hammered. The morning of Thursday the 10th of September sees 8 ft from the S, but the wind is cross-on from the SW, making it messy. Then Friday the 11th of September is a huge 13 ft from the SSW, with a very long period of 13 seconds. That’s a massive amount of energy (5912), but it’s too big for this break. That’s an expert-only zone, and the wind is cross-off from the NW, so it’ll be clean, but you’re looking at a serious challenge. The beach setup here is going to be more interesting for kite surfers than paddle surfers on those big days.
The water temperature stays warm throughout, and the anomaly is near normal, so you’ll be comfortable in a shorty.
So, the bottom line: the first week is a write-off. The best call is the morning of the 9th of September (Wednesday) for the experienced crew. The following two days are massive, but only for the experts. Keep your eyes on the forecasts, because a change can blow in anytime.
Rusty.
