The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – this is one of those outlooks where you might wanna take up golf for a bit. The next 16 days at Langland Bay are looking pretty grim for any decent surf. We're looking at a long stretch of essentially flat to tiny waves, with the first real glimmer of something not being a total non-event not showing up until the very end of the month.
Right now, through the rest of July and into the first week of August, it's a write-off. The swell is hovering around 0.3 ft to 0.7 ft with weak energy readings, mostly in the single digits. The best we get in that period is a glassy morning on Thursday the 23rd, but with 0.7 ft of west swell, you'd be floating more than surfing. It's a long, flat gap. We finally see a bit of a pulse kicking in on the morning of Sunday the 26th of July, with a 3.3 ft west swell, but it's coming in with a short, weak 6-second period and a cross-shore wind. The combined energy is only 75 (low), and the conditions are described as "poor surf conditions" with a cross-chop, so it's messy.
If you're desperate, that Sunday the 26th of July through the following Tuesday the 28th of July is the best we've got, but that's not saying much. The morning of Tuesday the 28th of July actually looks the cleanest of the whole run, with a 2.3 ft west swell at 9 seconds and a light cross-offshore wind out of the northwest. The energy reading is 78 (weak), so it's still small, but it might be the one session to keep an eye on for a longboard or a foiler. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so no wetsuit surprises there.
The real kicker is that the wind and swell combo just doesn't line up. The optimum direction for Langland Bay is a SW swell, and we get a sniff of that on the 31st of July, but it's onshore and choppy. The last few days of the forecast into the 3rd of August are just more of the same – fresh, lumpy onshore winds with weak, short-period swell. Honestly, it's looking more interesting for a kite than a paddle for most of this period. The window is tight, the waves are small, and the quality is poor. 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. 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.
