The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get this out there. It’s Rusty.
Honestly, looking at the next couple of weeks, it’s a bit of a flat spell for Langland Bay. We’ve got a real slow start, with nothing worthwhile on the cards for the first few days. You’re looking at tiny, messy waves and some cross-shore junk. It’s going to be a waiting game.
The first real glimmer of hope comes on Thursday, the 13th of August. It’s still small, around 3ft, but the wind goes glassy in the morning. That’s a window to get a few clean, if small, waves. The swell energy is moderate at 177, and with that WSW direction, it’s lining up okay. It’s not going to be epic, but it’ll be the best clean surf we’ve seen all week. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so you won't need a thick suit just yet.
After that, it drops back off again. The weekend and the following week are pretty poor. There’s a bit of a pulse around the 19th with some clean conditions but the waves are still small, only around 2ft. We’ll see some glassy mornings on the 21st and 23rd, but the swell just isn’t there to make anything of it.
To be straight with you, there’s no standout swell in this whole 16-day window. The best bet is that Thursday morning on the 13th, where you can get a few clean ones if you’re keen and not fussy about size. It’s a case of keeping your expectations low and your eyes on the horizon. The forecast can change, so don't write it off completely.
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.
