The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. This is a tough one to call, but I’ll tell you how it’s shaping up.
Overall, we’ve got a long stretch of messy, onshore stuff with only a few fleeting windows for a wave. The best of the lot looks to be on Friday the 11th, but even that’s just a passing moment. For the next week and a half, it’s going to be a waiting game.
For Langland Bay, it kicks off with a bit of a pulse on Monday afternoon the 7th. Swell is 6ft out of the WSW with a period of 13 seconds, so there’s some decent energy there (931). But the wind is a strong cross-shore at 15 mph, and the water is much warmer than usual at 67°, which is over 3° above normal. The conditions are just poor, so it’s not a day to get excited.
Tuesday the 8th offers a slight improvement. The morning has 5ft WSW swell, period has dropped to 9 seconds, and the wind is a cross-offshore at 12 mph. Cleaner, but the energy is moderate (548) and the forecast is marginal. Not a standout.
Now, here’s the only real highlight I can see. Friday morning, the 11th of September. The swell drops to 4ft from the WSW, period is a solid 9 seconds, and the wind turns light offshore from the NNW at 6 mph. It’s clean, and the wave energy is moderate (243). It’s surfable, but ordinary. Still, this is the best on offer for the whole window. The water is still warm, but I’d call it a worthwhile dawn patrol if you’re desperate.
The rest of the period is grim. From Saturday the 12th all the way through to Saturday the 19th, we’re looking at a near-total blank. Swell drops below 3ft, periods are short, and winds are either onshore, cross-on, or just messy. The energy is weak, often in the double digits, and there’s nothing to recommend. It’s a long gap of over a week with no real surf.
There’s a tiny flicker of life on Sunday the 20th. The morning shows 3ft from the west with an 8-second period and a light cross-offshore wind. The energy is moderate (132) and it’s clean, but again, it’s just surfable, not good. The following Monday and Tuesday look blown out again.
So, truth be told, if you’re after a paddle, your best bet is that Friday morning. Otherwise, it’s a long wait. The setup might be more interesting for the kite crew than for us surfers through most of this.
