The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Langland Bay over the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, this is a tough one. The whole 16-day window is a bit of a struggle for Langland Bay. For the first week and a half, the swell is just too small to get excited about, with heights mostly hanging around 0.7ft to 1ft. The combined swell energy is weak, barely cracking double digits for most of that stretch. Winds are a mixed bag of cross and cross-onshore, keeping things messy. There’s a real dry spell here.
The first real glimmer of something worth paddling out for shows up on Wednesday the 12th of August. The swell bumps up to 2ft in the morning from the WSW, with a period of 10 seconds, and the combined energy climbs to 77 – still weak, but it’s a step in the right direction. The wind is light cross-onshore, so it’s not perfect, but it’s the best we’ve seen.
That afternoon, the swell gets a bit more grunt, hitting 3ft from the WSW, with a period of 9 seconds and a moderate 156 energy. Wind is cross-shore, so expect some chop.
The standout moment, and I mean the only real standout in this whole outlook, comes on Monday the 17th of August. The morning session is clean with a light offshore breeze from the ENE, swell at 3ft from the WSW, and a period of 5 seconds. The energy is a low 39 – not powerful, but clean. Then, the afternoon of the 17th is the best of the bunch: glassy conditions, 3ft swell from the WSW, 6-second period, and 53 energy. It’s small, it’s short period, but it’s glassy, and that’s a rare treat in this forecast. For the intermediate surfer, that’s the session to aim for. The water is about average for the time of year.
The rest of the second week continues to be small and mostly clean, with winds turning more offshore, but the swell never really gets above 3ft. The energy stays in the weak to low-moderate range. There’s just no real punch to anything.
Honestly, keep your expectations low for this stretch. The setup is so small and weak for paddle surfing that if you’re a kite surfer, the consistent cross-shore winds on the bigger afternoons might look more interesting than a wave count.
Rusty.

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.
