The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Langland Bay.
Honestly, the next week and a half is a bit of a write-off. We’re looking at a real flat spell. From now until the start of August, there’s pretty much nothing worth paddling out for. Tiny little waves, mostly under 3ft, with weak energy (4 to 62). The wind is a mess, mostly cross or cross-on, and it’s just messy. It’s a blank run, and for this area, that’s not unusual when the swell windows don’t line up. You’d be better off cleaning the wax off your boards.
The one and only standout is hiding over a week away. On Wednesday, August 5th, we’ve finally got something to talk about. A solid 8ft swell from the WSW, with a period of 9 seconds, rolls in. That’s a proper size, generating strong energy (1098). It’s going to be a big one, so this is for the experienced crew; beginners should give it a wide berth. The wind is glassy in the morning and then goes clean cross-off in the afternoon. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing weird. This is the best on offer, and it's a real promise of a good day. After that, the swell drops back down quickly, and we’re into small stuff again by Thursday.
If you’re a kite surfer, the 4ft and 3ft swell on the Saturday before (August 1st) with choppy, cross-onshore wind might be your thing, but for a paddle surfer, it’s a no-go.
So, mark your calendar for the 5th, and get ready for a proper session. The rest of the fortnight is a waiting game.
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.
