The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let's talk about Langland Bay in feet and miles per hour, because that's how we do it in some places.
Look, I'm not going to sugarcoat it – this forecast is a stinker. We're looking at a long, dry spell with nothing worth paddling out for until the second week of August. The waves are tiny, the wind is messy, and the energy is laughable.
The only flicker of life comes on Tuesday the 11th and Wednesday the 12th of August. That's when the combined energy of all swells finally climbs into the moderate range, hitting 220 and 206. We'll have a chest-high, 4ft groundswell rolling in from the WSW with a 10-second period. It's got a bit more power, but the wind is swinging cross-shore to cross-on, so it'll be a bit lumpy. The swell direction is about as good as it gets for this spot, which is a small win.
For the rest of the 16 days, it's a total dud. Knee-high slop and onshore winds. The water temp is nothing special, just average for the season.
So, the best on offer? There isn't really one. The 11th and 12th of August are the only days you might even consider it, and even then, it's a gamble. The swell is small enough for anyone, but the conditions won't be pretty. And with this spot being fairly popular, you might have a few others with the same bad idea. I'd leave the board in the car and find something else to do.
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.
