The Lowdown
Right then, let's have a proper look at what's on the cards. To be straight with you, it's a tough stretch ahead for Langland Bay. The next 16 days are looking very lean. We've got a real gap at the start with nothing worth paddling out for until Monday the 7th of September, and even then it's a bit of a rough diamond.
The best we've got in the whole window, and I mean the only one that really gets the heart rate up, is Monday the 7th of September in the morning. A solid 6 ft of swell rolling in from the WSW, and with a 14-second period, that's some proper groundswell energy. The combined energy is reading 1405 (moderate to strong), so there's plenty of push. It's a cross-shore wind, which will keep it from being completely blown out. This is for experienced surfers only, as the size and power will be too much for beginners. Keep in mind that a long period swell like this can sometimes break a little too straight across the beach, but the wind being cross-shore should help it hold a bit of shape.
The water is a notable 67° and a whopping 6° warmer than normal for this time of year, so you won't need the thickest wetsuit. Crowds are possible here on a Monday.
After that Monday morning window, it goes pretty ordinary again. The wind gets messy for the rest of the week, and the swell drops right off. By the second week, from the 14th of September onwards, we're looking at tiny 0.7 ft to 1.0 ft pulses with barely any energy to speak of. The winds do turn offshore and even glassy at times, but with wave energy around 6 to 16, it's a flat spell. It's just not going to break.
So, the call is simple. If you've got a window, make a plan for Monday morning the 7th of September at Langland Bay. That's the only stand-out on offer. Everything else is a waiting game.

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.
