The Lowdown
Right then, let's have a look at what's on the cards for Langland Bay over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it's a bit of a slow starter. We're looking at a pretty long dry spell right from the off. For the first twelve days, from Friday the 17th of July right through to Tuesday the 29th, it's just not doing much at all. There's barely a ripple out there, with swell heights struggling to get past 1ft and the energy is practically non-existent, with readings in the single digits. You'd be hard-pressed to even get wet. The water's a balmy 69° – that's far warmer than normal for this time of year, a real anomaly, but it doesn't make up for the lack of waves.
The real story here is a late surge. It all kicks off on Wednesday the 29th of July. The morning is still a bit average, but the afternoon is where it gets interesting. A solid 10ft swell from the west-southwest starts rolling in, packing a massive punch with a combined energy of 1128. The period is a bit short at 9 seconds, but the wind is light and offshore from the north, making for some clean, lined-up waves. This is big stuff though – over 8ft, so it's strictly for the experienced crew at Langland Bay.
Then Thursday the 30th of July looks like the absolute standout. Another solid 10ft swell, this time from the west, with a combined energy of 1463. The wind is a light, offshore breeze from the east-northeast in the morning, which has the potential to make it absolutely perfect. The conditions are described as excellent for experienced surfers. This is the one to circle on the calendar. The afternoon on Thursday will see the size drop a touch to 8ft and the wind swings to a light cross-on, so the morning window is the real winner.
After that, the swell drops right back off through the end of the month and into August, with the energy fading and the wind turning messy. So, your window is tight: the afternoon of the 29th, and the morning of the 30th of July. Get on it if you've got the skills.

A general guide to surfing at Langland Bay can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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 Langland Bay 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.
