Alright folks, Rusty here with the local surf picture.
To be straight with you, there’s not a whole lot to shout about for the next week and a half. We’ve got a long flat spell on the cards, with hardly any energy coming through until the middle of the month. Most mornings will be clean and glassy, but there’s just no swell to work with – a few 0.3 – 0.5 ft dribbles that aren’t worth your time. The swell energy is in the doldrums, reading as low as 12–40 (units). The water temp is a real standout, though – it's sitting at about 67°F, which is roughly 8°F above normal. That's pretty unusual, and it feels more like a warm bath than a Welsh surf session.
Langland Bay is our only play here. It’s a fairly exposed spot that needs a proper SW groundswell to get going, and we’re just not seeing that.
The first real sign of life comes on the morning of Friday, July 17th. The swell finally picks up to around 4–5 ft from the WSW with an 8-second period, and the energy jumps to 275 – a moderate push at last. The big winner that morning is a dead-glass wind. That’s a major positive for clean, smooth surf. It’s not big, but if there's a time to paddle out, that's the window. Later that day, the wind goes cross-shore and it gets messy again, so aim for that early session.
Looking into the last part of the outlook, around July 20th and 21st, the swell forecast is much bigger – 7 ft or so from the WSW. Here’s the problem: that size with onshore or cross-shore winds makes it a lumpy, bumpy mess. The combined swell energy is high, over 560–599, but it’ll be choppy and hard to ride. That size, over 5 ft, is definitely for experts only. For the more experienced crowd, there's a standout on the afternoon of Tuesday, July 21st: that same solid 6–7 ft swell from the WSW, this time with glassy, offshore wind. That’s the best bet across the whole 16 days – a solid swell with perfect conditions. It’s a long-range call, so treat it as a promising possibility, but mark your calendar.
Otherwise, with the persistent small surf and the fresh cross-shore wind around the middle of the month, the setup is looking more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing on those days.
Stay tuned – that last week is our best hope.
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.
