The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get real about Langland Bay. I’ve had a look at what’s on the table for the next sixteen days, and I’ll be honest with you—it’s a quiet stretch. The pattern overall is pretty lackluster, with hardly any proper swell showing up. The energy is almost non-existent, barely registering above weak for most of the run. Water temps are sitting at 69°, which is much warmer than usual for the time of year, so at least you won’t need a thick suit.
We’re starting off with a major gap. From Friday the 24th of July right through until Monday the 3rd of August, things are flat to tiny. The swell heights hop from about 0.3 ft up to maybe 4 ft, but it’s all short-period, weak stuff with cross-shore or onshore winds, so really, you're not going to be getting wet for anything worthwhile.
The first real flicker of hope shows up on Tuesday the 4th of August. The morning sees a bump to 4 ft from the WSW at 7 seconds, but the wind’s onshore and messy. It’s the Tuesday afternoon that’s the standout of the whole outlook. Swell pushes to 5 ft out of the WSW, and the wind goes *glassy*. That’s a rare treat. The combined energy hits 204 (moderate), and that glassy surface should give you some clean, if not perfect, lines. It’s still from the WSW, which isn’t Langland’s absolute magic direction (that’s SW), but 5 ft with no wind chop? That’s your window. It is right on the edge for beginners, though—5 ft can be a handful. And because it’s short-period (7 seconds), the sets will be a bit disorganized and close together.
After that, it fades again. By Wednesday the 5th, the wind swings back onshore, and from there into the second week of August, it’s all cross-shore breezes with tiny ripples or lumpy junk. The wave energy tails off to single-digit or low two-digit figures again. You can probably leave the board at home.
So, the only bright spot, and the one to pencil in, is that Tuesday afternoon, the 4th of August. Get down there, hope the forecast holds, and you might snag a few clean, waist-high plus waves on a nearly empty beach—crowds can be a thing there, but the lack of surf lately might keep the numbers down.
Stay tuned, forecasts change. Rusty out.
