Langland Bay Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down the next couple of weeks at Langland Bay.

First off, the start is pretty grim. Thursday the 3rd and Friday the 4th are a mess – cross and cross-onshore winds blowing 15-20 mph, with lumpy, choppy surf. The swell is around 5-6 feet but all short-period junk. Not worth bothering with. The water temp is about 68° which is much warmer than normal – 7° above average – so you won’t need a thick suit, but the surf is poor.

Saturday the 5th morning is the first half-decent window. The swell drops to 3 feet from the WSW, and the wind goes light – just 3 mph from the west, cross-off, clean. The energy is weak (120), but it’s surfable. It’s small and ordinary but glassy. If you’re desperate, that’s the one.

From Saturday afternoon right through the rest of the first week, it’s flat and choppy again. Sunday the 6th is tiny onshore junk. Monday the 7th morning does see a proper groundswell – 6 feet at a very long 13 seconds from the WSW, with moderate cross-off wind from the northwest making it clean. The combined energy is a strong 2033, so there’s power. But the guidance says it’s marginal – tide or bank issues likely. This one’s only for the locals who know the sand.

Tuesday the 8th and Wednesday the 9th are back to bumpy, windy, ordinary stuff. Thursday the 10th and Friday the 11th mornings both offer clean, cross-off conditions with waist-to-chest high swell around 6 feet, but the wind is still a moderate 15 mph. The energy is moderate (330 and 279). Not bad, not amazing.

The real standout is Monday the 14th morning. Offshore wind from the north at only 6 mph, surfable 4 feet from the WSW with a 9-second period, and the combined energy is 254 – moderate. The biggest thing is the glassy, clean conditions. It’s surfable, not epic, but it’s the best of the run.

Then Tuesday the 15th morning is totally glassy – dead calm, zero wind. Swell is tiny at 3 feet and 9 seconds from the WSW, energy is weak (129). It’s small but perfect for a longboard or fish.

After that, the second week fades into tiny, weak, often choppy surf. Wednesday the 16th has another glassy morning but only 2 feet – too small.

So here’s the deal: the pick of the fortnight is Monday the 14th morning with clean offshore lines, and Tuesday the 15th if you want total glass. Crowds at Langland are often there on a clean day, so expect company. The rest? It’s a waiting game.
