The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a pretty grim start. We’re looking at a long stretch of flat, choppy, or just plain messy conditions. From now right through until the end of August, it’s a write-off – tiny swells, lousy wind, and not a single session worth paddling out for. You’re looking at a solid gap of about a week with nothing to recommend.
The first real glimmer of something that might get you out of bed is on the morning of Monday, 31st August. A proper pulse of swell hits, with waves around 8ft coming from the W, but the wind is a cross-shore fresh breeze, making it lumpy. The combined energy is a massive 1405 (strong), so it’s for the experienced crew only. The water temp is 69°, which is a whopping 8° warmer than usual for this time of year – very unusual, feels like a warm bath out there. Still, the conditions are marginal, so it’s not a total standout.
The following Wednesday morning, 2nd September, cleans up a bit. The swell drops to 5ft from the WSW, but the wind turns cross-offshore and gentle. The waves are clean, and the energy is moderate at 163. It’s surfable, but pretty ordinary.
The real standout, and the one to circle on the calendar, is the morning of Monday, 7th September. This is where it gets interesting. Swell jumps to 12ft from the WSW with a very long period of 19 seconds – that’s serious groundswell. The combined energy is a whopping 13737 (very strong). The wind is a clean cross-offshore breeze. That’s a massive, powerful swell. For a spot like Langland Bay, which is fairly exposed and a beach setup, that long period will likely make it break a bit too straight – it’ll be a beast. This is only for the experts, and it’ll be serious. The conditions are marginal due to the size, but the quality of the swell is undeniable. The morning of Tuesday, 8th September, still has a solid 7ft WSW swell with a cross-offshore breeze and clean conditions, but it’s a big step down in energy.
So, to sum it up: we’ve got a long flat spell, then a big, powerful, and dangerous couple of days around the 7th and 8th of September. If you’re an expert and you’ve got the nerve, the 7th morning is the best on offer. For everyone else, keep waiting.
Rusty.

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.
