The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for Langland Bay over the next couple of weeks. I gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough read. We’ve got a long dry spell ahead before things even start to look remotely interesting.
The forecast starts off with a real dud. Sunday the 13th through to the end of the first week is basically a write-off. We’ve got light rain and a moderate cross-onshore breeze on Sunday afternoon, with a messy 4ft swell from the WSW. The combined energy is moderate (520), but it’s all for nothing with that wind and poor surf conditions. That water temp is sitting at 66°, which is a whopping 6° warmer than usual for this time of year – very unusual, feels like we’re in a different season. The next few days are a similar story: onshore and cross-off winds, lumpy, choppy, and generally not worth paddling out for. Even when the wind swings offshore around Tuesday the 22nd and Wednesday the 23rd, the swell is short-period and ordinary, barely scraping a “surfable but very ordinary” tag. The combined energy values are moderate (around 200-270), but the quality just isn’t there.
There’s a real gap in any decent surf for the first 7 or 8 days. The only faint glimmer comes right at the tail end of the period. Thursday the 24th afternoon goes glassy with no wind, but the swell is a tiny 1ft from the west – barely a ripple. After that, it’s a long stretch of tiny, weak, and short-period swell from the east with cross-shore winds. Combined energy drops into the low double digits and thirties (12-42) – that’s weak energy, and it means barely any wave action. By the 27th and 28th, we’re looking at 1ft slop with moderate to fresh cross-shore winds.
So, the honest truth? There are no standouts here. No hidden gem, no perfect window. This is one of those periods where the bay is just not cooperating. If you absolutely have to get wet, the cleanest conditions look to be on the morning of Tuesday the 22nd and Wednesday the 23rd with moderate offshore winds and some 5ft to 6ft short-period swell from the west, but don’t expect any kind of quality – it’s ordinary, at best. The crowds at Langland Bay can be a factor often, but with this forecast, I reckon you’ll have it to yourself.
Hang in there. Forecasts can change.

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.
