The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break down what Langland Bay is looking like over the next two weeks.
It starts off pretty flat and messy. Wednesday and Thursday have poor surf with onshore winds and nothing to get excited about. The water’s running at a very unusual 19°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year.
Friday morning (11th September) offers the first real chance. Clean 1.3m swell from the WSW, period around 9 seconds, with a cross-offshore breeze from the NW at 10 km/h. The combined swell energy is a moderate 277. It’s clean and rideable for your average intermediate surfer.
Things fall apart again through the weekend. Saturday morning is a lumpy mess with 30 km/h onshores, and Sunday afternoon isn’t much better. Not worth paddling out for.
The standout comes on Wednesday 16th September morning. A proper 2.3m west groundswell, 9-second period, and a clean offshore wind from the north at 25 km/h. The combined energy is a strong 828. That’s big and heavy — strictly for experienced surfers only. The crowds here are often an issue, so you won’t be alone.
After that, Thursday and Friday drop back to smaller, cleaner but weak surf. The second week looks mostly poor with onshore slop and tiny waves. Nothing else worth chasing.
So, the call is: Wednesday 16th September morning is the big one for the crew who can handle it. Friday 11th morning is your best smaller option.

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.
