Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on offer for the Gower over the next couple of weeks.
Alright, I’m not gonna sugarcoat it—this is a tough one. The whole 16-day window at Langland Bay is a real struggle. Honestly, there’s not a single session that scores high enough to get me paddling out with any real enthusiasm. The water's currently sitting at 67°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, but that's about the only thing that's out of the ordinary.
The forecast is all about tiny, weak waves. You're looking at swell heights that barely tickle the 3 ft mark, and the combined wave energy is almost always less than 100 (anywhere from 4 to 41), which is just weak. The swell direction is mostly from the WSW or W, which is about right for the spot, but it doesn't matter when the size is this marginal.
There's a bit of a gap here with nothing worth mentioning. The first couple of days, Tuesday the 7th and Wednesday the 8th, are just tiny, messy cross-shore slop. The best of a bad bunch might be Thursday morning the 9th, when it goes glassy with a 1.0 ft W swell, but it's still surfable only for a log or a foamy. The combined energy is a pitiful 17. Friday afternoon the 10th also goes glassy, with a 2 ft W swell and energy of 40, but again, it's small.
The second week is even more depressing. The swell gets confused and short-period, with some E windswell showing up on the 12th and 13th, but it's still tiny and the wind is howling from the east, which is cross or cross-on here. That's an ugly combo. There's a brief moment of clean conditions on Sunday morning the 22nd, with glassy conditions and a 0.7 ft W swell, but that's flat, not surfable.
This is a classic blank run for this area—when it's this small and inconsistent, it's just not worth the drive. The setups look more interesting for a kite than a paddle if the wind is up, but for a surfboard? You're better off waiting for the next proper swell. I'm not seeing any standouts, no hidden gems. Just a whole lot of "poor surf conditions" for the next two weeks.
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.
