The Lowdown
Right, grab a cuppa and listen up.
Right now, we're looking at Langland Bay (Gower Peninsula). I've gotta be straight with you—the next few days are a bit of a write-off. We've got a run of tiny, weak swell with barely enough energy to stand up on. From Wednesday the 19th right through to the start of the following week, we're looking at flat, messy, or just plain rubbish conditions. There's a gap of about six days where you'd be better off polishing your board.
Then, things finally start to look a bit more promising towards the end of next week. On the morning of Wednesday the 28th, we get a little bump of 3ft WSW swell, clean with a light offshore wind. The energy’s still low (99), but it’s surfable. That afternoon gets chopped up again by stronger wind.
The real standout, and the one to circle on your calendar, is the morning of Tuesday the 1st of September. That’s two weeks out, so keep an eye on the charts, but it’s got potential. We’re looking at a solid 8ft swell from the WSW with a decent 10-second period. The wind is light offshore from the WNW, which should keep things clean. The combined energy is 939—that’s good, solid, surfable power. It's right on the sweet spot for Langland, but at that size, it's gonna be pushing into expert territory. If that direction lines up with the preferred SW, you’ll get some proper wedging walls.
Before that, on Monday the 31st of August morning, there's a big 10ft swell with loads of energy (1853), but it's got a cross-off wind and the forecast is sketchy. That is for experienced surfers only; for most, it'll be too much. Water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing unusual to report.
For the rest, it's a waiting game. There's a bit more size on the 30th and 31st, but the wind makes it a battle. Hold out for that Tuesday morning. That’s the one.

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.
