The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, it’s looking like a long, quiet stretch at Langland Bay. The swell is tiny for days on end, and when it does finally show up, the wind is going to be a pain. This is a period where you’ll be checking the forecast more than waxing your board, because there’s only one window that’s worth getting excited about, and it’s a long way off.
The first bit of hopeful news arrives on Sunday morning, 2nd August. That’s the one to circle. We’ve got a solid 7ft swell rolling in from the WSW, and with a light breeze from the NNW, it’s going to be clean. The combined swell energy is a punchy 574 – that’s a proper push of water. The period is 8 seconds, so it’s a bit of a wind swell, but with that size and the cross-off wind, it’ll be offering some good, fun waves. It’s a bit too big for absolute beginners, but for the intermediate crew, this is your morning. The crowds will be a factor though, as it’s often busy here, so get in early.
The water is sitting at 69°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year. That’s a nice bonus.
The Monday morning after that, 3rd August, sees a bigger pulse of 8ft, also from the WSW, and the combined energy rockets up to 1024 – that’s serious power. But the wind is howling from the ESE, making it a lumpy, messy cross-onshore. That’s really only one for the experts, and even then, it’s going to be a battle. The afternoon is slightly better wind-wise, but it’s still marginal.
After that, the swell fades fast. The rest of the week into the second week is just small, weak waves and poor conditions. There’s a bit of glass on Wednesday afternoon, 5th August, but the swell is down to 2ft. It’s flat, not much to write home about. The end of the forecast window is the same story – small, clean but tiny.
So, bottom line: don’t hold your breath for the next week. The standout is Sunday morning, 2nd August. Get on it if you can, because the rest of the run is a write-off. Keep an eye on the charts, but for now, it’s mostly a waiting game.
Rusty.

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.

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.
