The Lowdown
Alright mate, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer.
We’ve got a bit of a flat spell to start, but the end of the outlook is looking like it’ll be worth the wait. The first decent surfable conditions don’t really show up until Wednesday the 19th, so you’ve got a solid week of small, messy, or onshore junk to sit through. Not much to get excited about until then.
Akabane Long Beach is the only spot in the game, and it’s a very consistent, intermediate-level beach break. It’s exposed to the swell, and it likes a SSE direction best. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing wild.
The first real sign of life comes Wednesday morning, August 19th. It’s tiny at 2 ft from the SE with a period of 10 seconds, but the wind is glassy – dead calm. Combined energy is weak (125). It’s surfable, but conditions are very ordinary and the waves are small. Still, a glassy morning on a longboard could be a fun way to get wet.
Thursday the 20th morning is a similar story, with 3 ft from the SE, but the wind swings WNW at 9 mph, making it a clean, cross-off breeze. The combined energy is still weak (121). The surf is very ordinary, but clean. Not a standout, but a decent option if you’re desperate.
The real standout arrives on Thursday, August 27th. The morning brings a solid 5 ft swell from the south with a period of 11 seconds, and the wind is offshore from the NNW at 12 mph. That’s clean. The combined energy is strong (836), so it’s got some push. This is the best window of the whole 16 days, no question. It’s not giant, but for Akabane Long Beach, a clean 5 ft south swell with offshore wind is a proper session. Because it’s so far out, treat it as a promising prospect, but it’s the one to circle.
Rusty.

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.
