The Lowdown
Alright, let’s look at this stretch. It’s a bit of a slow burner, but there is one gem in there.
The next few days are pretty weak. We’re starting off with small, stormy conditions on Wednesday and a bit of a bumpy Thursday. Not much to get excited about, just small waves and ordinary conditions.
But then, here we go. Early Saturday morning is the pick of the entire forecast. We’re talking a solid 2.5m of SSE groundswell, with a long period and light offshore winds. Clean, glassy, and with some punch. This is the one for the more experienced crew. The water temp is 25°, which is a bit below average, but you won’t feel it with that offshore wind.
Saturday afternoon backs off a touch but the swell is still up there. It’s good, but the wind is on it. From there, we see a downturn. Sunday has some size but it’s too much for this spot, and then it fades fast.
The middle of the week goes flat and junky. We’re looking at a couple of days with hardly any swell and messy winds. That’s a write-off. Don’t even bother looking at it.
Towards the end of the month, the swell engine switches back on but it’s bringing a lot of size and a lot of wind. By the 29th, we’re talking about a big, raw, south-southwest swell, and it’s just too big and stormy to be any good around here. That’s more for the chargers in heavy waves, or for the kiters if it gets messy.
So, to sum it up: Saturday morning is your window. It’s the standout and it won’t last. The rest is either small, onshore, or flat-out too big. Keep your eyes on the sky and your board ready for that one session.

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.
