The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here, let's have a look at what Langland Bay has got cooking for us over the next couple of weeks. It’s a bit of a mixed bag, to be honest. There’s a real shortage of good sessions for a while, but a few windows are worth keeping an eye on.

Right now, the water is sitting at 67° – that’s a solid 6° warmer than usual for this time of year, so the sea is feeling more like a late summer bath than a September one. We start off with a bit of a flat spell. Sunday the 6th has a weak little 3ft WSW windswell knocking around, but with a short 6-second period and very low energy (52), plus an onshore wind, it’s really not worth paddling out.

We go quiet for a few days after that. Monday the 7th morning looks cleaner with a 5ft WSW groundswell and a much more substantial 14-second period and wave energy reading 1234 – that’s got some proper power behind it. The wind is WNW and cross-off, which should keep things relatively clean. But the surf forecast for that session is only marginal due to some tide issues. It’s the best we’ve got in this first week though, so if you're keen, you might get some bigger sets with that long period groundswell. The afternoon gets messy with onshore wind.

The real standout here is further out. Keep your eyes on Wednesday morning the 16th of September. That’s a full week and a half away, so it’s a long-range call but it looks promising. We’re looking at a solid 8ft WSW swell with an 8-second period, but the combined energy is 865 – that’s a solid, powerful punch. The wind is forecast to be light and cross-off from the NW, so it should be glassy clean. With that kind of size, it’s for the experienced crew – beginners should sit this one out. That’s the best window on offer, with a score that suggests very good conditions.

The run-up to that is scratchy. There are blips of cleaner conditions, like Friday morning the 11th with a clean 4ft WSW groundswell (9-second period, 283 energy) and cross-off NW winds, but the surf quality is only rated as "expect good," so it’s a smaller, less powerful option. After the 16th, the wind turns onshore again and the quality drops off, with some big but messy swells coming through on the 18th (10ft WSW), but it’s blown out and choppy, so that might be more of a kite day than a paddle day.

To sum it up: this first week is mostly a write-off with one decent but tide-affected session on the 7th. The second week holds a much more promising, powerful window on the 16th, but it's a long way out and the size means it’s for the experienced lot only. Hang tight.

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.
