Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let's break down the next couple weeks at Akabane Long Beach.
We're starting off a bit slow. Monday and Tuesday (July 6–7) are pretty much a write-off – light rain, cross-onshore wind, lumpy water, and tiny swell around 2–4 ft. Not worth paddling out.
But then Wednesday morning, July 8, things come together nicely. Glassy conditions – dead calm wind, not a ripple. The swell is a solid 7 ft from the SSE, with a long 16-second period pushing strong energy (3520) into the beach. That's prime for experienced surfers – the break is very consistent and often has a crowd, but with that clean offshore glass, you'll get proper sets with plenty of push. This is the standout of the whole outlook.
Thursday through Saturday (July 9–11) the swell jumps to 10–12 ft, which is simply too big for this break – even with good wind, it's only for experts, and the data says it's not recommended. Best to sit that out.
Sunday July 12 drops to 8–8 ft but with onshore winds and messy conditions – marginal at best. Monday July 13 is smaller again, 5 ft, but cross-onshore chops it up. Tuesday July 14 is poor.
Then another highlight appears on Wednesday morning July 15: glassy once more, with a clean 5 ft SSE swell, period 10 seconds, energy (1120). Good for experienced surfers again, though the swell is a bit weaker. That afternoon it jumps to 10 ft and gets choppy.
The rest of the second week is a mix of marginal and poor conditions until Monday July 20 morning, when we get a light offshore from the NW, 5 ft ESE swell, 11-second period, energy (753). The swell direction isn't ideal (ESE vs optimum SSE), but with clean faces and light offshore wind, it's worth a look. Still, the earlier Wednesday glass-out is the one to circle.
Overall, we've got a couple of true gems – July 8 morning is the best bet, followed by July 15 morning. Everything else is either too big, too choppy, or too small. The break is very consistent, so when conditions align, it delivers.
Rusty out.
