The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what’s happening on our shores over the next couple of weeks. Gotta be straight up with you – it’s a bit of a slow burner right now.
Langland Bay is looking at a stretch of tiny, gutless surf for the next week or so. A lot of days in the next 7 to 8 are showing waves barely pushing 0.7ft to 2ft, and the wind isn’t doing us any favors. There’s a bit of a tease on the morning of Sunday, July 26th, with a reading of 5ft from the west and a 7-second period – but the energy is weak at (325) and the conditions are messy. The water is sitting at 70°F, but that’s actually 9°F warmer than normal for this time of year, which is seriously weird for the Gower.
The real story here is the wait. From now, we’re looking at a long gap of poor conditions until our first real standout pops up on the afternoon of Sunday, August 2nd. The morning of that Sunday is a write-off – totally onshore and messy at 5ft. But by the afternoon, we see a better picture rolling in: 6ft of west-southwest swell coming through, and the wind flips to a light cross-offshore from the northwest – glassy, clean lines. That’s the best energy in the whole forecast (327), but it's still a moderate cross-off not a pure offshore, and the period is only 7 seconds, so don't expect world-class barrels.
Heading into Monday, August 3rd, it drops back into the mediocre zone with onshore wind and choppy conditions. Nothing else in the 16 days comes close to that Sunday afternoon window.
So, my honest take: you’re looking at a solid 10 days of flat or poor conditions before that Sunday afternoon blip on August 2nd is your only real chance to get wet with something rideable. For beginners, that 6ft might be a little pushy, but for intermediates and above, it’s the best we’ve got. Just promise me you won’t get your hopes up for anything earlier.
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.
