The Lowdown
Alright, let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Langland Bay over the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, it’s a pretty bleak stretch ahead. We’ve got a real flat spell on the cards, with the odd small bump that never quite has the conditions to back it up. For the first week and a half, the swell is tiny and the wind is often messy, so honestly, I’d be looking at other plans.
There’s a faint glimmer on the morning of Thursday the 21st of August, when a light offshore north-northwesterly wind cleans up a small 3ft west swell. The period is a short 6 seconds, so it’ll be weak and mushy, but at least it’s surfable. The combined swell energy is still only 97, so it’s not going to be anything memorable. The rest of that week stays weak, with nothing really building.
We do get a bit more energy pushing in around the 27th and 28th of August, with combined swell energy hitting 162 on Thursday the 27th morning, but the wind swings onshore from the east-southeast, making it choppy and poor. The swell direction is west-southwest, which isn’t ideal for Langland Bay, and the swell is still small at around 3ft for the most part.
Our only real standout, if you can call it that, is that morning of Friday the 22nd of August. A small pulse of 1.0ft west-southwest swell, but with a clean offshore north-northeasterly wind. The period is a meagre 8 seconds, so don’t expect much push, but it’ll be glassy and peel a bit on the tide. Everything else is either flat, windy, or both.
In short, the next two weeks are a blank run. Langland Bay needs a proper groundswell and clean wind to work, and we just don’t see it in this window.

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.
