The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. This is Rusty, and I’m looking at the next few weeks for Akabane Long Beach. It’s gonna be a real mixed bag, so let’s break it down.
The week kicks off with nothing to write home about. Monday the 10th is a write-off with a cross-onshore breeze messing up what little 4ft swell there is. Water temp is sitting at a pretty normal 81°, no surprises there.
Tuesday the 11th morning is where we finally see something worth paddling out for. The wind swings offshore from the northwest at 12 mph, and we’ve got a clean 4ft swell rolling in from the east with an 11-second period. The energy is moderate (562), and the conditions will be clean. That’s the standout window for the whole outlook. Crowds are often a factor here, so expect company.
Wednesday the 12th goes downhill fast. Strong winds, messy surf, and a short-period 6ft swell that’s just ugly. Not your day.
Thursday the 13th and Friday the 14th are small and marginal, but Friday morning has a moment of glassy conditions with a 3ft east swell. It’s tiny but clean if you’re desperate.
Saturday the 15th morning is dead flat and glassy – 2ft and no wind. A morning coffee paddle, not a surf session.
From there, the surf fades into a long stretch of weak, small, and often choppy conditions. From Sunday the 16th through to Monday the 24th, there’s really nothing that stands out. Swell drops to under 3ft, periods shorten, and most of the time the wind is onshore or cross. The energy dips into the low hundreds and even below 100. It’s a quiet, frustrating run.
There is a flicker on Tuesday the 25th morning – offshore wind from the northwest again and a clean 2ft swell. It’s small, but at least it’s clean. The afternoon sees a longer-period 4ft swell from the southeast (12 seconds, 440 energy), but the cross-shore wind chops it up.
Overall, if you’re looking for the best wave, it’s Tuesday morning the 11th. Offshore wind, clean lines, and a decent 4ft east swell. After that, it’s slim pickings until the very end of the outlook, and even then it’s small. Hang in 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. 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.
