The Lowdown
Listen up, crew. Rusty here with the lowdown on Akabane Long Beach for the next couple of weeks. It's a tale of two extremes, so strap in.
We start real slow. Friday the 31st of July and Saturday the 1st of August are flat and messy. Leave the board in the car.
Sunday the 2nd of August morning is the first real window. A clean, 3-foot wave rolls in from the SSE with a light offshore breeze from the NW. The combined energy is moderate (444). It's not a monster, but it'll be glassy and there'll be a few fun runners. The afternoon gets ruined by onshore wind.
Monday the 3rd sees the swell build to about 6ft, but the wind turns cross-onshore and puts a chop on it. The energy is climbing (2053), but the quality drops.
Now, Tuesday the 4th of August... hold onto your board. We've got a serious groundswell warning. The swell hits 10ft to 12ft+ from the SE with a very, very long period of 18 seconds. The combined energy is absolutely enormous (10885). Gentle cross-onshore wind isn't the issue here—the forecast says it's simply too big for this break. This is a big-wave session for experts only. That long-period SE swell will be a freight train.
It stays colossal through Wednesday the 5th and Thursday the 6th, with swell peaking near 20ft and energy readings going off the charts (over 21000). Winds get a bit stronger and lumpy. Unless you're a pro, give it a wide berth. This setup looks more interesting for the kite surfers than for paddle surfing.
The size drops down through the 7th and into the second week, but it stays solidly in the 8ft+ range with cross-onshore winds. Not great.
Looking further out, Wednesday the 12th of August offers a little reprieve. A clean, 3ft wave from the SSW with a light, glassy offshore wind in the morning. Combined energy is low (355), but it'll be clean. Thursday the 13th morning also sees a 5ft SSE groundswell with a cross-offshore breeze and moderate energy (1034). Worth a look, but it won't be perfect.
The Pick for Paddlers: Sunday the 2nd of August morning. It's small but clean and you'll get some fun ones. The Pick for the Brave: Tuesday the 4th of August morning. Pure power, massive size, and clean conditions, but this is for experienced big-wave chargers only. Know your limits.
Rusty.

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.
