The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, putting it in feet and miles per hour for you. Let’s talk about Langland Bay.
Look, this is a rough 16-day stretch. There’s almost nothing worth getting wet for. From the 12th of August right through to the 23rd, every single session is flat-out poor. You see little bits of swell come through – combined wave energy values of 60 to 149 – but the wind is always messing it up. Either it’s cross-on and choppy, or cross-shore with a lumpy chop. We get a couple of clean, offshore mornings on Saturday the 15th and Sunday the 16th, but the swell is tiny – only 1.0 to 2 feet – and the period is short (7-8 seconds). No power. The water is a balmy 69°, a whopping 7° warmer than normal for the season, which is nice, but not enough to make bad surf good.
The one and only chance for anything surfable comes on Monday the 24th of August in the morning. We finally see a solid pulse of 5 feet swell from the SW, with a combined energy of 223 – that’s proper moderate energy for Langland Bay. The wind will be light from the ENE, giving us a clean, cross-offshore look. It's still just ordinary conditions, not good, but it’s the only time the score hits a 1 out of 10. If you’re itching, that’s your window. Expect crowds though, because this spot is often busy when there’s any swell.
After that, it’s back to small, weak slop. The Tuesday (25th) and Wednesday (26th) mornings look clean enough, but the swell drops to barely 1 to 3 feet. No real energy.
So, no true standout here. The only break is Langland Bay, a fairly exposed beach. For a spot that’s usually fairly consistent, this is a real dry spell. It can’t stay this flat and windy forever, and forecasts change, so keep an eye out. But for now, honestly? I’d find something else to do.
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.
