The Lowdown
Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on offer at Langland Bay over the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, it’s a pretty quiet start. The first few days are looking flat and messy, with a bit of cross-onshore wind and only tiny knee-high swells. The water temperature is sitting at 68°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – that’s a solid 7° above average, so you won’t need a thick wetsuit, that’s for sure.
We’ve got a gap with no real surf until the morning of Saturday the 8th. That’s when things start to look a little more promising. Saturday morning brings a clean 5ft swell from the WSW with a light cross-offshore breeze – that’s your best window in the first week. The combined swell energy is moderate at 286, so there’s some push behind it. Nothing too big, but it’ll be clean and fun for an intermediate. Keep in mind the swell period is short at 7 seconds, so it’ll be a bit lumpy and not super lined up, but still rideable.
After that, we slip back into small stuff again until the morning of Saturday the 15th, when a 5ft WSW swell shows up, but it’s cross-on with light rain and only marginal conditions. Not worth getting excited about.
The real standout, and the one I’d circle on the calendar, is the morning of Sunday the 16th. We’ve got a 5ft swell from the WSW, a clean cross-offshore breeze from the NW, and the combined swell energy is strong at 543. That’s the best energy we see across the whole forecast. The waves will be well-shaped for an intermediate, clean faces, and the offshore wind will keep things tidy. Just be aware the period is still short at 8 seconds, so it’s not a deep groundswell, but for Langland Bay, that’s a solid session.
Monday the 17th still has some surfable waves in the morning with a 4ft swell and clean conditions, but the energy drops off.
Overall, it’s a slow start, but the 16th is your best bet – get on it if you can.

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.
