The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s run through the next couple of weeks at Akabane Long Beach in the kind of numbers you’d see on a good ol’ imperial forecast. The water’s running about 77°F right now, which is a couple of degrees cooler than normal for this time of year—nothing drastic, but you might want a spring suit.
From today, July 16th, all the way through the 20th, it’s flat and messy. Swell barely reaches 2–3 ft, winds are cross or onshore, and the energy readings are weak (between 61 and 134). Don’t bother. On the 21st, Tuesday morning gives you a tiny window: 2 ft from the east, light cross-offshore breeze, energy 85. It’s surfable but utterly average. Then it’s back to junk until Sunday July 26th morning, when we get a glassy calm with 2 ft SE swell, period 11s, energy 125. Clean but tiny. Still not worth the drive.
Now the good stuff. Monday July 27th morning—this is it. Glassy calm, swell bumps to 4 ft from the SSE (right on the optimum angle), period 10s, and combined energy surges to 517. That’s moderate-strong energy, clean conditions, real waves. Ideal for intermediate surfers. Crowds? This spot gets busy often, so expect a few other heads.
Tuesday July 28th morning is even better: 6 ft from the SSE, period 11s, energy at 870 (strong). That’s getting big for beginners, but for anyone with some experience it’ll be pumping—clean, powerful, and lining up nicely. Both these mornings get blown out by afternoon onshore winds, so you’ve got to be out at first light. Wednesday the 29th morning is still 6 ft but with a light onshore breeze, so a bit bumpy—still rideable, but not a standout.
After that the swell fades and the wind goes south again through the end of the month. The 30th and 31st have leftovers but nothing special.
Bottom line: the first ten days are a bust. Point your truck toward the beach on Monday 27th and Tuesday 28th of July, crack of dawn. Those two windows are your best chance at clean, punchy waves. Water’s a touch cooler than normal, so suit up accordingly.
Rusty out.
