The Lowdown
Alright mate, let’s break down Langland Bay for the next couple of weeks. It’s a grim picture, to be honest. We’re looking at a long stretch of poor conditions, with only a couple of windows that are even worth mentioning. The water is an unusual 66°, which is way warmer than normal for this time of year.
Kicking off on Monday the 14th, it’s a write-off with cross-onshore wind and a weak, short-period swell. Tuesday the 15th has a bit more size, 5ft from the west, but the wind is howling at 19 mph, making it a messy affair. Wednesday the 16th morning cleans up a bit with a 3ft swell from the WSW, but it’s only marginal. The energy is moderate (280), but it’s not going to excite anyone.
The one and only real highlight, if you can call it that, is on Tuesday the 22nd of September. The afternoon shows clean conditions with a light cross-offshore breeze and a 2ft swell from the WSW. The period bumps up to 11 seconds, giving it some proper shape, and the energy reading is 117. It’s described as surfable but very ordinary. For this whole forecast, that’s your best bet. It’s not going to be epic, but it’ll be the cleanest you’ll see.
Other than that, it’s a desert. There’s a massive gap from the 14th all the way to the 22nd, and then it fades again. Langland can get busy, but with this outlook, you won’t be fighting for waves.

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.
