The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin' for our stretch of coast.
Right off the bat, the next ten days or so are lookin' pretty skinny. We've got a real drought on our hands. From now through to around the 24th of July, it's mostly flat and forgettable. The only time there's a whisper of something rideable is a little 2ft easterly swell on Friday the 17th morning, but with glassy conditions that could be a fun little knee-high runner for a longboard. Still, nothin' to get excited about. After that, it's back to a whole lot of nothin' until the end of the month.
Things *finally* start to shape up on Monday the 28th of July. A solid 5ft southeasterly groundswell is forecast (combined energy of all swells directed here is a strong 1607), with a long 16-second period. That's proper groundswell, meaning good shape and power, but it's goin' to be a bit straight for this stretch. Mornin' looks the pick with a gentle cross-shore breeze. It's still a little on the bigger side, but there'll be some clean ones if you're patient.
But the real standout – the one that's got me heart racin' – is Wednesday the 29th of July. We're talkin' a proper pulse of southeasterly swell, ramping up to 10ft by the afternoon with a very long 18-second period. The combined energy of all swells directed here is a massive 5285, so you know there's some serious power behind it. Now, that is *expert-only* territory. This swell is just too big and powerful for beginners, but for the crew with the right foam and the balls to go, this is a genuine event. The downside is the onshore wind in the afternoon, but the morning session on the 29th with 8ft swell and a light cross-onshore is where you want to be at Akabane Long Beach.
So to wrap it up: a long stretch of flatness, then a potential day of decent groundswell on the 28th, and a proper, big-wave session on the 29th for the experts only.
Stay patient, mates.
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.

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.
