The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Langland Bay has in store for us over the next couple of weeks. I’ve got to be straight with you – it’s a tough watch for most of the period. There’s a glimmer, but you’ll need patience.
The water is sitting at 69°F right now, which is a massive 8°F warmer than usual for this time of year. That’s very unusual; it feels more like a late summer bath than a typical Gower session.
Right, the first sniff of anything worthwhile is Monday morning, the 31st of August. We’ve got a 7ft west swell, period around 9 seconds, and a north-westerly cross-offshore breeze keeping things clean. The wave energy is moderate, sitting at 721. It’s not perfect – the conditions are described as "marginal" due to tide, but it’s the best-looking window in the whole run. This one’s for the intermediates who know the bank.
The rest of the first week is a write-off. Tuesday sees the swell drop to under 3ft with cross-shore winds and a lumpy surface. Wednesday and Thursday get blown out by strong cross-onshore winds, with swell around 5ft to 7ft but messy and choppy. Friday the 4th of September sees a jump in energy – 8ft west swell and 982 combined energy – but the wind is a strong cross-shore, making it a messy, lumpy affair. That’s more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddle session.
We get a little reprieve on Saturday the 5th of September. The swell drops to 4ft, but with a light north-westerly cross-offshore breeze and clean conditions. The energy is low at 161, so it’s small and only "surfable" at best.
After that, it’s a long, quiet stretch. From Sunday the 6th right through to the 14th of September, the swell is mostly under 3ft, often with poor winds or just tiny, weak waves. There are a couple of mornings with light offshore or glassy conditions – like the morning of the 8th and 9th of September – but the swell is too small to get excited about, with combined energy in the low double-digits.
Honestly, if you’re desperate, Monday the 31st of August morning is your only real shout. Keep an eye on the forecasts though; it tends not to stay this poor for long.
Rusty.

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.
