The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk Langland Bay in feet and miles per hour, because that’s how some of you think.
The next couple of weeks are pretty quiet. Don’t bother paddling out from Tuesday 21 July through Saturday 25 July—it’s flat, weak, and not worth the walk. The first real chance comes on Sunday 26 July.
The water is 69°F, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year, so you’ll be comfortable in a shorty or spring suit.
Sunday 26 July morning brings a 3ft west swell, but it’s only 6 seconds—short-period windswell. Combined energy is 64, weak. Northwest wind at 15 mph, cross-off, keeps it clean. It’s not big, but it’s the first rideable surf. The afternoon drops to 3ft, still clean. The break is fairly consistent and fairly exposed to west swell. Crowds are often, so you won’t be alone.
Monday 27 July is smaller: 2ft to 2ft, short period, with cross to cross-on winds. Not great.
Tuesday 28 July morning is glassy but only 0.7ft. Tiny.
Wednesday 29 July morning has a long-period west swell at 11 seconds, but it’s only 0.3ft. No energy.
Thursday 30 July morning is glassy, 0.7ft, 10 seconds. Still weak.
Friday 31 July morning is glassy, 0.3ft, 9 seconds. Nothing.
Saturday 1 August morning is the best of the run. A 3ft west-southwest swell with a 7-second period, cross-off wind from the west-northwest at 6 mph, and clean conditions. Combined energy is 77, still weak but the highest we’ll see. This is a small, clean little wave for a longboard or fun shape. The swell direction matches the southwest optimum for Langland Bay. Crowds are often, so get down early.
Sunday 2 August through Wednesday 5 August is all small and messy: 2ft dropping to 0.7ft, cross-shore winds, weak energy. Wednesday the 5th has a glassy morning with 0.7ft, but it’s barely surfable.
The standout is Saturday 1 August morning. It’s small but clean. Sunday 26 July is the next best, but it’s windswell. For the rest, it’s a flat spell. Keep your board waxed, but don’t get your hopes up.

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.
