The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for Langland Bay.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this 16-day window is a tough one. We’ve got some swell around, but the conditions are making it a real battle to find anything clean and rideable. The water temp is sitting at 66.7°, which is a very unusual 5.8° warmer than normal for this time of year – you might not need the thickest wetsuit, that’s for sure.
The most promising window kicks off on Monday, September 7th. The morning is the only real standout of the whole outlook. We’re looking at a solid 5.2ft of WSW swell, with a moderate combined wave energy of 1234. The period is a nice long 14 seconds, which is proper groundswell. The wind is a cross-off from the WNW at 12 mph, which will keep the surface clean. That’s the call for the best session – a solid, clean, long-period groundswell.
That same afternoon, the wind swings onshore and it gets messy. From there, things go downhill fast. Tuesday the 8th still has some size at 5.2ft, but the period drops to 9 seconds and the wind is stronger, making it a real chop-fest. For the rest of the week and into the second week, the swell lingers but the quality is poor. You've got days of clean-looking waves but with weak energy (down to 134 on Wednesday morning), or wind that's just all wrong. The most common story is onshore winds, strong cross-shore breezes, and lumpy, chopped-out conditions.
From around Saturday the 12th onward, there’s a long gap with no real recommendations. That blank run looks like it will stretch on through to the end of the forecast on September 22nd, with a few pulses of tiny, weak swell but nothing that's going to get anyone out of bed. Honestly, the whole setup in that second week is better left for the kite surfers on the bigger, windier days.
So, bottom line: don't get your hopes up for a classic run. If you’ve got a flexible schedule, the Monday morning (Sept 7th) is your only real chance for a decent paddle. Otherwise, it’s a waiting game.

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.
