The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, and I’m calling it like it is: Langland Bay is flat as a pancake for the next 16 days. We’re talking ankle-biters at best – 0.3ft to 0.7ft – with combined energy readings that barely hit 32 (that’s weak) on the 25th of July. The wind is all over the place, mostly cross-shore or cross-on, and the swell period is short, usually 8 seconds or less. There’s nothing to get excited about.
The first few days are a total wash. Wednesday the 15th is cloudy with a 12 mph cross-shore, then turns glassy in the afternoon but with only 0.3ft of swell. Thursday and Friday are the same story – tiny waves, poor conditions. The whole first week is a no-go. Even by Saturday the 25th, when the swell bumps up to 1.6ft, the wind is 16 mph cross-shore and the period is 7 seconds. That’s just choppy, lumpy water. The 30th of July brings a 16 mph onshore wind and more of the same small, weak swell.
It’s a dead stretch. For a spot that’s fairly consistent, this is a bummer, but it happens. The water temp is about normal for the time of year. Don’t bother waxing up. Just kick back and wait for the next swell to roll in.

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.
