The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here, let’s talk about what’s brewing at Langland Bay. I’ve gotta be straight with you – it’s a bit of a rough stretch ahead. The water is sitting at 68°F, which is a solid 7°F warmer than usual for this time of year, so at least you won’t need a thick wetsuit, but that’s about the only easy part of the forecast.

We’re looking at a long, quiet gap right from the start. There’s really nothing worth paddling out for from Tuesday, the 25th, all the way through the rest of August and into the first few days of September. The wind is all over the place – mostly cross and cross-onshore, sometimes strong, and the swell is small, weak, and messy. On the 29th, the swell does push up to 8ft, but with a strong cross-onshore wind at 25 mph, it’s just a messy, blown-out wall of water. The energy is there, hitting 959 (moderate), but it’s not surfable in any decent way. That continues through the 30th and 31st, with a bit of a cleaner moment on the 31st morning when the wind turns cross-off, but the 5ft swell is still pretty average and the wind is a fresh 22 mph. It’s not the kind of day you’d tell your mates about.

The first real glimmer of hope comes on Friday, the 4th of September. The morning shapes up with a clean, cross-off breeze from the WNW at 9 mph, and the swell is a modest 3ft from the west, with a period of 6 seconds. The energy is weak (102), and it’s only surfable in a very ordinary way – but it’s clean. If you’re desperate for a paddle, that’s the first window.

But the standout? That’s got to be Saturday, the 5th of September. The morning kicks off with a clean cross-off breeze from the WNW at 16 mph, and the swell is a solid 8ft from the WSW, with a period of 9 seconds. The energy is strong (938). That’s a proper winter swell, and the wind is offshore, so the waves will have some shape. Now, 8ft is pushing into expert territory – this is not a beginner’s wave. The afternoon stays clean with a cross-off, and the swell is 7ft with a period of 10 seconds, piling up energy to 1451 (very strong). The wind is a fresh 22 mph, so it’ll be a handful, but for the experienced crew, this is the best chance of the whole run. The swell direction is WSW, which is close to the optimum SW, so it’s lining up nicely.

Sunday, the 6th, still has size (8ft in the morning) but the wind swings cross-on, and by the afternoon it’s lumpy again. Not worth the fight.

Into the second week, things are less certain. The 9th of September morning shows a clean cross-off from the NW at 9 mph, with a 4ft swell from the WSW at an 11-second period. The energy is moderate (454), and it’s marked as “expect good surf conditions.” That’s promising, but it’s a long way out, so keep an eye on it. The afternoon is a bit more mixed, with a cross breeze and a smaller 4ft swell.

Overall, if you’ve got the skills and the patience, hold out for Saturday the 5th of September. That’s the one. The rest of the run is a write-off or just average.

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.
