The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk about Akabane Long Beach. I’ve been watching the charts and honestly, there’s not a single day in the next 16 days that I’d call a proper surf session. The break itself is very consistent, but the ocean just isn’t delivering. We’ve got a long stretch of poor conditions starting now and running through most of the period.
From Thursday 16 July right through to Sunday 20 July, the surf is tiny and messy – mostly 2ft to 3ft, short period, and either cross‑shore or onshore winds. Not worth paddling out. The combined swell energy is weak, mostly under 100 or just above, but the quality is poor.
Then on Tuesday 21 July morning there’s a little window: a clean 3ft east swell with a 12‑second period, cross‑off wind from the WNW at 12 mph. That’s about as good as it gets, but it’s still small, and the energy is only moderate (209). The afternoon gets chopped up. After that, it’s back to poor surf until Monday 27 July morning, when we see a 4ft SSE swell, period 12 seconds, combined energy 531 (moderate), but the wind is onshore from the SE at 6 mph. Not clean, not fun.
The best chance, if you’re desperate, is Thursday 30 July morning: a 6ft SSW swell with a 13‑second period, combined energy 1152 (strong), but the wind is light cross‑onshore from the east at 6 mph. The afternoon goes onshore again. That’s still a marginal call. The rest of the month? Friday 31 July drops back to 3ft and poor.
So yeah, nothing to get excited about. For a spot that’s usually very consistent, this is a flat spell. Keep an eye on the long‑range – forecasts can change, but right now I’d leave the boards at home.

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.
