Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
Right, let’s talk in feet and miles per hour, you salty dogs.
We’ve got a forecast that starts flat and ugly, builds into a monster, and then fades into slop. Akabane Long Beach is the only game in town.
The early part, starting Sunday the 5th, is junk. Swell is a tiny 1ft onshore dross. Winds are cross-on or onshore all day. Don’t even think about it. Monday the 6th is the same story – small and lumpy with a fresh cross-off mess.
Tuesday morning the 7th shows a pulse. Swell jumps to 4ft from the SSE with a 13-second period. The combined energy is 978 – some grunt behind it. Winds go light cross-shore, making it workable, though the call is still "marginal." First real chance to get wet.
Wednesday the 8th keeps building: 7-8ft from the SSE, 16 seconds. Energy hits 2893. Winds are light cross-onshore, a bit bumpy but doable for the crew who aren’t scared of some size.
Then from Thursday the 9th through Saturday the 11th, it’s game time. Swell sizes run 10ft to 12ft from the S, with period holding 16 to 17 seconds. Combined energy goes ballistic – 4368, 5275, even 7251. That’s serious, powerful groundswell. The forecasts say wind and tide are favorable, but it also says the swell is predicted to be *too big for this break*. That means it’s going to be a nasty, dangerous washout. Experts only. If you aren’t charging, be a spectator.
The absolute standout is Sunday morning the 12th. The swell drops to a still-chunky 8ft from the SSW, 16-second period, and the wind goes glassy – light SW, dead calm. Energy is 2907. That’s excellent, clean, powerful surf for experienced surfers. Expect a crowd.
After that, it’s a slow bleed. From Sunday afternoon the 12th onward, the swell drops under 5ft, period shortens, and the wind turns onshore or cross-onshore. Most of the second week is poor or marginal, energy under 400. There’s a couple of almost-glass mornings on Sunday the 19th and Monday the 20th with 3-4ft swell, but the period is short (8-10 seconds) and weak. Fine for a slow paddle, but nothing to write home about.
The takeaway: it’s flat and bad, then it’s huge and dangerous, and the one golden window is that Sunday morning the 12th. That’s your shot. After that, it’s back to staring at the horizon.
Rusty out.
