The Lowdown

Alright mate, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what Langland Bay has cookin' over the next couple of weeks.

Honestly, it's a bit of a slow start. We're looking at a real flat spell to kick things off. For the first few days, there's barely a ripple, with swell heights hovering around the 0.7ft to 2ft mark and a lot of cross-shore wind making a mess of things. You'd be better off finding a rockpool than paddling out. The water temp is a stonking 69°, which is 8° warmer than normal for this time of year – that’s very unusual, feels like a warm bath out there, but there's no surf to enjoy it in.

We've got a decent gap of flat, poor conditions right through until the end of the month. There's a moment on the 29th of August where the swell bumps up to 5ft from the west, with a nice cross-off wind from the WNW (19 mph), which will clean it right up. The combined energy is strong (251), but the period is a short 7 seconds, so it'll be a bit fat and lumpy. It's still the best of a bad bunch for a while.

Now, pushing into September, things start to look a bit more hopeful. On the morning of the 3rd of September, we get a clean 4ft swell from the WSW. The wind is light from the NW, giving us a nice cross-off breeze. The combined energy is moderate at 201, and while the score is only a 1, it's the first time the conditions aren't a total write-off. It’s surfable, just barely.

But the standout, without a doubt, is the morning of Sunday the 6th of September. This is the one to circle. We've got a solid 7ft swell pumping in from the west, with a clean cross-off breeze from the NE (9 mph). The combined energy is a strong 609, which means there's proper power in the water. The period sits at 8 seconds, so it won't be the most lined-up groundswell, but for a beach break like Langland, that's fine. This swell is getting up over 7ft, so it's pushing into expert territory and will be too much for beginners. Expect it to be a bit of a handful, but the conditions will be clean. The afternoon still has the swell, but the wind swings onshore, so get out early.

After that, the surf drops back off again. The morning of the 7th of September sees a drop to 4ft with messy cross-shore wind, and the following days look poor again. So, your window is narrow. That final morning of the 6th of September is the pick of the entire 16 days – promising, but it's a long way off, so keep your fingers crossed the forecasts hold.

Rusty out.

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.

Langland Bay is 8 km (5 miles) from Swansea. If you plan a holiday in Wales - Gower, look for hotels and other accommodation in Swansea. Swansea has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
