The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for the Gower.

First off, the next week or so is a bit of a mixed bag. We’ve got some swell coming through, but the wind is going to be a pain for much of it. The water temp is sitting about average for the time of year, so nothing unusual there.

The best bet in the whole 16-day window looks like Monday morning, the 7th of September. Langland Bay is going to see a clean 5ft swell from the west, with a moderate offshore wind from the north-northwest. That’s your classic clean, groomed surface. The combined swell energy is a solid 356, which is a good, punchy amount of power. It’s a fairly consistent break, so you can expect plenty of waves, but it can get crowded here, so get your dawn patrol in.

Before that, things are pretty average. The first real surfable window pops up on Monday morning, the 31st of August. There’s a 7ft swell from the west, with a light cross-offshore wind giving clean conditions. The wave energy is strong at 690, but the forecast is a bit marginal, so don’t expect perfection. It’s still your best option for that weekend.

The other standout is Saturday morning, the 5th of September. After a pretty poor run of weather, the wind finally swings to a light cross-offshore from the west-northwest, cleaning up a 6ft west-southwest groundswell. The energy is well up there at 463, and it’s looking good. The swell period is 8 seconds, which is solid enough for a beach break like this to offer some decent shape.

For the rest of the time, it’s mostly onshore, choppy, or just too small and weak. The period from the 1st to the 4th of September is a write-off with strong, lumpy cross-onshore winds. The 12th and 13th of September offer tiny, weak swell with clean conditions, but it’s really just a longboard or foiling kind of wave.

So, to sum it up: if you’re keen, hit the 7ft swell on Monday the 31st of August, or the 6ft swell on Saturday the 5th of September. But the one to really circle is Monday, the 7th of September for the cleanest, punchiest session.

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.
