The Lowdown
Alright, grab your wettie, let’s see what we’ve got here for Langland Bay over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, mate, it’s looking pretty grim for a proper surf session. The whole 16-day window is a struggle. We’ve got a bit of size and some clean windows, but the quality just isn’t lining up. There’s a big gap of nothing really worthwhile, so let’s break it down.
The best chance for a paddle is going to be first thing on Friday, September 11th. The water is sitting at a very unusual 66° (combined energy of 277), which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – one of those oddities. We’ve got a 1.3m swell rolling in from the WSW with a 9-second period, and the wind is a cross-off from the NW at 9 mph. It’s clean, and the conditions are actually good. That’s your window. After that, it falls apart quickly. Friday afternoon turns to mush with poor surf, and Saturday is a write-off with a strong cross-on SW wind kicking the surface up into a lumpy mess.
Next up, Sunday morning, September 13th, has a small 1.1m WSW swell with a short 7-second period and cross-off wind, making it clean. It’s surfable, but very ordinary. The energy is weak (128), so you’ll be fighting for scraps. The rest of that week stays poor. A bigger pulse shows up on Thursday, September 17th, with the swell hitting 1.8m to 2.0m from the west. The energy jumps to 439, which is decent, but the period is still a short 7-seconds and choppy conditions will kill the ride. That day is a no-go.
From there, we have a major gap. From the 18th right through to the 26th of September, it’s either tiny or blown out, with nothing worth recommending. The swell drops right down to under 0.5m, and while we get some glassy mornings towards the end, there’s just no push.
So, to put it straight: Friday morning, September 11th, is the only real shout. Everything else is a bust. Don't hold your breath.

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.

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.
