The Lowdown

Right then, let's have a look at what's on the cards for Langland Bay. Straight up, I gotta be honest with you – it's a bit of a grim picture for the next couple of weeks. The water's sitting at a very unusual 69°, which is a good 9° warmer than normal for this time of year, so you won't need the thickest of wetsuits, but that's about the only positive.

For the next week or so, we've got pretty much nothing worth paddling out for. The swell is tiny, mostly around the 1ft to 3ft mark with poor period, and the wind just won't play ball. It's going to be a week of waiting. There's a brief flicker on the morning of Monday the 3rd of August where we get a clean, 3ft cross-offshore breeze, but the energy is weak (90) and it's a one-off. Don't bank on it.

The real story here is a gap of several days with no solid recommendations. We're waiting until Monday the 10th of August for something that starts to look interesting. On the Monday morning, a cleaner looking 4ft swell from the WSW arrives with a respectable 9-second period and a nice clean WNW wind. The combined energy finally bumps up into the moderate range at (266), and the morning looks clean, but the afternoon gets messy. Glassy conditions on the morning of Tuesday the 11th of August could be tidy, with a 4ft WSW swell, but the period drops to 7 seconds, so the shape might be a bit fat.

The standout window, if you can call it that, looks to be around Wednesday the 12th of August. The morning has a 6ft WSW swell with a moderate energy reading (525), which is the highest of the entire forecast. The wind is cross-shore, so not perfect, but it's the most push we’ll see. However, at 6ft with a middling period, it's getting into the size where it'll be a handful for beginners, and the afternoon jumps to 6ft with more wind. It's the best of a bad bunch, but it's not a day to get the hopes up. Honestly, for a while there, the conditions are so average with choppy cross-shore winds and weak swell that it looks more set up for a kite surfer than a paddler if you can find the right wind.

Information about the Langland Bay Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for Langland Bay provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Langland Bay can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Langland Bay 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 (Langland Bay) 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 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.
