The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk about Langland Bay. It’s a quiet story, I’m afraid. For the next week and a half, we’re looking at a whole lot of nothing. There’s no real surf on offer, just a flat spell that’s going to test your patience. The good news is that there’s a glimmer of energy trying to show up late in the game, but it’s a long way off and it’s got its own set of issues.
For the first week and a half, from the 13th right through to the 23rd of July, it’s a bust. The swell is tiny, mostly 0.3ft to 0.7ft from the SW or W. The wave energy is very weak, barely registering. The water temperature is 69°F, which is a whopping 9 degrees warmer than normal for this time of year – that’s seriously unusual. Even on the afternoons of the 14th and 18th when the wind goes glassy, there just isn’t enough water moving to surf. It’s a long, flat run.
Now, we do get a bit of a lift starting on the 24th of July. The swell finally bumps up to 3ft on Friday morning, then 4ft in the afternoon from a SW direction, with a period of only 5 seconds. That’s short-period, wind-driven stuff. The energy is finally moderate. But the wind is a problem. On Friday morning it’s onshore, and by the afternoon it’s a moderate cross-onshore chop. It’s going to be messy and bumpy, not the clean lines we’d want.
The weekend of the 25th and 26th sees the swell staying in the 2ft to 3ft range, still short period. The wind gets stronger, with fresh to strong breezes on the 26th and 27th, along with rain. The energy never really gets going. The whole setup is just too rough for a good paddle. Honestly, with the strong onshore winds and lumpy, choppy conditions, this looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer.
So, there’s no standout here. The best you can hope for is a very messy, onshore session on the 24th of July if you’re desperate, but don’t expect any quality. Everything else is flat or blown out.
