The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Langland Bay over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I’ve gotta be straight with you – it’s a pretty grim run for the most part. The whole 16-day window is a bit of a struggle. The water is a whopping 70°F and that’s 9°F warmer than usual for this time of year – proper weird, feels like a bath.
We’ve got a long dry spell with hardly any surf worth paddling out for. The only flicker of life comes right at the end on Wednesday, 2nd September. The morning shows a waist-high 5ft swell from the west with a period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy is moderate at 255. The wind is glassy – light southerly, barely a breath – so the surface will be clean. It’s surfable, but even then the conditions are just ordinary. Not a standout, just the only chance you’ll get.
Before that, from Wednesday 19th August right through to Tuesday 1st September, it’s a near-total write-off. The swell is tiny, often under 1.0ft, and the wind is all over the place – cross-shore, cross-on, fresh breezes, lumpy chop. The energy readings are mostly in the double digits, which is weak. There’s a brief moment on Thursday 31st August with a 6ft swell from the west and a beefy 627 combined energy, but it’s lumpy cross-shore with a fresh breeze, so it’s blown out and messy. Not for the faint-hearted.
So, bottom line: Langland Bay is a tough call this fortnight. The only real chance you’ve got is that glassy Wednesday morning on 2nd September. It’s not firing, but if you’re desperate, that’s your window. Otherwise, keep the board in the shed and wait for the next system.
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.
