The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s cooking at Langland Bay.
Honestly, mate, the next week and a half is looking pretty grim. We’re staring down a long stretch of mostly poor surf. The first proper bit of swell that’s worth a paddle out doesn’t show until the end of August, and even then, it’s a bit of a messy proposal.
Let’s start with the end of the month. The best of the whole forecast looks like it could be Monday, September 2nd. The conditions are the best on offer, with a nice offshore wind from the NNW. It’s only about 3ft of southwest groundswell (period around 6 seconds), but combined wave energy is a weak 56. The sets will be small, but clean and glassy. That’s your window for a longboard or a funboard if you want a quiet, clean session. It’s just a shame there isn’t more size behind it. The next window of hope is Sunday, September 7th. We see a glass-off in the afternoon with zero wind. The wave heights will be tiny, about 1ft, so combined energy is a very weak 30. It’ll be a lake. Good for a beginner paddle, but that’s about it.
For those chasing something with more punch, Monday, August 31st sees the biggest swell, but the quality is poor. You’ll have a 7ft southwest swell with a long 10-second period from the west-northwest. Combined wave energy is a moderate 1351. However, the wind is a fresh cross-off, so it will be lumpy and messy. It’s too big for beginners and sloppy for anyone else. Meanwhile, a whole week later, Monday, September 8th sees a much cleaner option but with smaller wave heights at 2ft under a moderate offshore wind, but wave energy is a weak 29.
There’s a few other days where the swell pops, but the wind just ruins it. Friday, August 29th has a clean afternoon with a moderate breeze, 4ft swell and 8 second period, but the rating is poor. You could get a few, but it’s not worth getting excited about. The run of poor options stretches for days on either side.
The water temp should be about normal for this time of year.
To sum it up: the first week is a write-off. If you must get wet, aim for Monday, September 2nd or Sunday, September 7th for the cleanest small waves. There is no standout major swell window with clean conditions. For now, it’s a waiting game.
Rusty.

A general guide to surfing at Langland Bay can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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.
