The Lowdown
Right then, let's have a look at what we've got for Wales. To be honest, mate, it's a bit of a lean spell we're looking at. We've got a solid 16-day window here, but it's gonna take a while for anything half-decent to pop up. For the first stretch, from now all the way through to the start of the 23rd of August, you're looking at a whole lot of nothing. That's a long gap of flat or near-flat dribble, so don't even bother checking the cams.
The one and only standout here is Langland Bay. It's an intermediate spot, fairly consistent, and it's only really showing its teeth on the morning of Sunday the 23rd. The combined energy of all swells directed here is strong at 621, so there's proper power behind it. You're looking at a 6.6ft swell coming out of the west with a 9-second period. That's a bit of proper groundswell and it'll be breaking with some punch. The wind is light from the northwest, which is cross-offshore, so it should be clean. That's the one to circle on the calendar for the more experienced lads and lasses; the swell is over 5ft so it might be a bit much for beginners.
The only other moment that gets a tiny bit of a nod is Sunday afternoon, the 23rd, but that's dropping back to 5.2ft and the wind swings cross-shore, making it choppier. The rest of that last week is just small, onshore slop.
Water temp is a huge story here; we're talking about 68.5° which is a whopping 7.2° warmer than normal. That's seriously unusual for this time of year, and it'll be noticeable – don't expect the usual cold Welsh sea.
So, to be blunt, it's a long wait for one decent morning. If you've got patience, the 23rd looks like your only real shot. The rest of the time, save your petrol money.

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.

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.
