The Lowdown

Alright folks, it’s Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the next 16 days at Langland Bay are looking pretty quiet overall. There’s one little window that might get the heart rate up a touch, but for the most part, we’re looking at a long stretch of very small, ordinary surf. The water temperature is sitting at 67°, which is a massive 6° warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s very unusual, and honestly, it feels like a warm bath out there.

We kick things off on Saturday the 5th of September, but it’s a real soft start. Swell is a tiny 3 ft from the WSW, with a short period of 7 seconds, and the wind is a cross-on from the WSW at 9 mph. The combined energy is weak (76), and the conditions are just poor. Sunday the 6th offers a glimpse of hope with a glassy window on the Sunday afternoon; the wind drops to a glassy 3 mph from the SSW, but the swell is still only 3 ft and the period is a sluggish 6 seconds. It’s surfable but very ordinary.

Now, the one standout. Monday the 7th of September, first light. This is the best we’ve got. We’re looking at a clean 5 ft swell from the WSW, but with a very long period of 14 seconds. That’s groundswell, and the combined energy is strong (1242). The wind is a clean cross-off from the WNW at 12 mph. This is a proper window, but keep in mind that with a long period like that, the waves can break a bit straight on the beach. For a point break or reef, it would be a dream, but here it might be a bit warpy. Still, this is the pick of the forecast. It’s moderate size, so fine for intermediates, but beginners might find it a bit much.

The rest of the first week and into the second week is a real struggle. From Tuesday the 8th right through to Saturday the 20th of September, we’re mostly stuck with swell under 4 ft, short periods, and a lot of choppy, cross-shore wind. There are a few clean moments, like the glassy conditions on the 12th, 14th, 15th, and 16th, but the swell is pathetic – 1 ft to 3 ft – and the energy is barely a whisper. The morning of Saturday the 12th is surfable, but “ordinary” is the word.

The last few days of the window, around the 17th and 18th of September, see a slight bump in size (5 ft on the 17th morning, 4 ft on the 18th afternoon), but the period is short and the winds are messy. The 18th afternoon has a glassy 4 ft swell from the W, which is surfable, but it’s not going to set the world on fire.

Overall, it’s a lean 16 days. The only real reason to get wet is Monday morning the 7th. The rest is a waiting game. But hey, it tends not to stay this poor for long around here, and forecasts can change. Keep your eyes peeled.

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.
