The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a proper look at what we've got coming up for Langland Bay. To be straight with you, it's a bit of a slow burn. The water's sitting at 68°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least you won't be freezing your toes off waiting for a set.
The first week and a half is pretty grim. We've got a few tiny ripples of swell but nothing that's going to get you excited. The wind is all over the shop, mostly onshore or cross-shore, and it's just choppy and messy. You'll see a few mornings where it goes glassy, like Thursday the 13th morning, but it's only 3ft with a 10-second period and the energy's moderate (149). It's surfable, but ordinary. Then Saturday the 15th morning has a clean offshore wind, but the swell is a measly 2ft with a short 8-second period and weak energy (33). There's just no push to it.
After that, it's a proper dry spell. From the 16th right through to the 24th, it's all poor surf conditions. There's a massive gap of nearly a week where you're better off doing something else. The winds are either too strong or from the wrong direction, and the swell is tiny or completely wind-affected.
Then, things start to look a little more promising towards the very end of the run. On Monday the 24th, the afternoon brings a jump in size with a 5ft swell from the WSW, but the period is a terrible 4 seconds and the wind is a strong cross-offshore. The combined energy is moderate (248), but that short period windswell is just going to be bouncy and messy. That's still a pass for me.
The real standout, the one that’s worth circling on the calendar, is the last day of the outlook. On Wednesday the 26th of August, the afternoon session is where it's at. We're looking at 7ft of swell, also from the WSW, with a 7-second period and a combined energy of 426, which is strong. That's some proper grunt. But the real kicker is the wind: it's forecast to be glassy. A 7ft swell with glassy conditions and a moderate to strong energy level? That's a rare combination at Langland. For the experienced crew, that's going to be worth the wait. This one is for the experts though; at 7ft it's getting too big for beginners.
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.
