The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cooking.
To be honest, mate, it's a pretty grim run of surf on the cards for Langland Bay. The whole 16-day window is a write-off for anything worth paddling out for. You're looking at a solid gap with no decent waves at all.
Right from the start, Saturday the 12th, it's a no-go. We've got a lumpy, cross-onshore wind at 22 mph with a weak, short-period swell of 5ft from the WSW. The water's sitting at a very unusual 66°, which is 6° warmer than normal for this time of year, but that's no consolation when the surf is that poor.
Sunday the 13th and Monday the 14th are more of the same—cross-shore chop and weak energy, with the combined swell energy struggling to get past 342 (moderate wave energy). Tuesday the 15th through Thursday the 17th sees the wind swing offshore from the NW, cleaning things up, but the swell is still small and weak. The energy readings are all below 200 (weak to moderate), so you're looking at gutless 3ft to 5ft waves. Clean, but barely rideable.
We get a bit of a spike on Sunday the 20th with a 10ft swell from the WSW, carrying a very strong combined energy of 974, but it's accompanied by a strong cross-onshore wind at 22 mph, making it a total mess. That kind of size and wind is only for the kites, not for a paddle board.
From Monday the 21st onwards, it's all downhill. Swell sizes drop to below 3ft through to the end of the forecast on Sunday the 27th of September. The energy levels are pathetic, mostly under 100 (weak), and the wind is all over the shop—sometimes cross-off, sometimes cross-on, sometimes straight onshore. You'll even see a little 0.3ft swell with a 17-second period on the 27th, but with a 19 mph onshore wind, that's just a bump and a mess.
Honestly, there's not a single standout session here. No good surf on offer in this whole 16-day window. For Langland Bay, a blank run like this is more normal when the conditions don't line up. Forecasts can change, but for now, leave the board in the shed.
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.
Langland Bay is 8 km (5 miles) from Swansea. If you plan a holiday in Wales - Gower, look for hotels and other accommodation in Swansea. Swansea has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
