Table - best surf conditions forecast for Akabane Long Beach over the next 16 days.
Alright, let’s talk about Akabane Long Beach. This spot is super consistent and exposed, so it’s got a pulse most days, but the next couple weeks are all over the place. The water’s at 24°, which is 2° colder than the usual for this time of year—so it’s noticeably chilly, and you’ll want a thick suit.
The big standout is Sunday, July 19th. That morning, it’s glassy and clean with a 6ft swell out of the ESE, no wind at all. Energy is moderate at 557. It’s going to be smooth and fun, not too big, not too small. Crowds can be a thing here, so show up early.
Before that, Saturday, July 12th morning brings a massive 10ft swell from the SSW with a 16-second period and energy readings in the thousands (4924). That’s for experts only—too big for beginners. Wind is light and cross-off, so it’s clean, but powerful. The afternoon stays big at 10ft but gets a cross-shore wind, so it’s a bit lumpy.
Monday, July 13th drops to 6ft from the SSW with a moderate offshore breeze—clean, but energy is down to 851 and the quality is marginal. Afternoon sees 5ft, still clean, but wind gets fresh and it’s not great.
Tuesday, July 14th morning is your best early-week call: 3ft from the SSW, light offshore from the NNW, 254 energy. It’s small but clean, perfect for a longboard. Afternoon drops to 3ft with a light cross-on, just ordinary.
From Wednesday, July 15th through Thursday, July 17th, waves stay tiny and weak, mostly onshore winds. A few glassy moments on the 16th morning (2ft, 71 energy) but not worth suiting up for.
Saturday, July 18th sees a rise to 6ft from the SE, but it’s cross-onshore and choppy in the morning, then onshore at 8ft by afternoon—marginal and rough. More a kite day.
Then Sunday, July 19th morning—glassy, 6ft, clean, and the best of the whole forecast. After that, it’s a slide: Monday 20th through Wednesday 22nd have small swell (5ft down to 3ft) with mostly onshore or light cross-shore breezes, nothing exciting. By Thursday 23rd, wind cranks from the east, and Friday 24th brings near-gale to gale-force winds with heavy rain—stay home.
The final weekend (July 25th–27th) has tiny waves (1ft to 2ft) with occasional glassy mornings, but energy is weak (61 to 134). Barely rideable.
So, the call is clear: Sunday, July 19th morning is your golden window. The week before has big, clean waves for experts, and after that, it’s a flat, windy mess. Lock it in.

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.
