The Lowdown
Alright mates, Rusty here again. Let’s break down what’s happening at Langland Bay in the next sixteen days.
Honestly, the first week is a bit of a bummer. We’re looking at a long stretch of poor surf from now through the end of August and into early September. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, and the swell is all over the place. It’s not a great time to paddle out. The first real chance of something decent doesn’t show up until Monday, September 7th.
That Monday morning is the one to circle. The wind is glassy, coming from the north-northeast at a light 5 km/h, and the swell is a clean 5 ft from the WSW with a long 11-second period. The combined energy is a solid 452 (moderate), so there’s some proper push. The conditions are glassy, which is a major win. The afternoon stays clean with a light offshore breeze from the north, dropping to about 4 ft. That’s your best session of the first week.
The next standout is a good way off, on Friday, September 11th. The afternoon session looks like a stunner. The wind goes glassy again, with a light south-southwest breeze, and the swell is a clean 4 ft from the WSW with a 9-second period. The combined energy is 270 (moderate). It’s a proper autumn afternoon, and it’s the pick of the second week.
The water temp is a very warm 69°F, which is 8°F warmer than usual. That’s seriously unusual for this time of year, so you might be able to get away with a thinner suit.
For the rest of the period, it’s mostly poor. The wind stays strong and cross-shore or onshore, and the swell is often short-period and choppy. There’s a big pulse of 10 ft swell on Thursday, September 10th, but it’s coming with a cross-onshore wind, so it’s going to be a messy, lumpy mess. That’s more of a kite-surfing day than a surfing day, to be honest.
So, to wrap it up: the first week is a write-off. The clear windows are Monday, September 7th, and Friday, September 11th. Those are the days to keep an eye on.
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.
