The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let's take a proper look at what Langland Bay has in store for us over the next couple of weeks.
Look, I gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough run ahead for Langland Bay. The water's sitting at 69°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s where the good news ends. We’ve got a long stretch here of pretty much nothing worth paddling out for.
Starting now and running through the weekend and into early next week, it’s flat and sad. Thursday the 13th offers a 3 ft swell from the WSW, but with a stiff onshore and cross-shore wind it’s going to be a messy, lumpy mess. The conditions just aren't there.
Friday the 14th and Saturday the 15th are smaller again. Saturday morning does see a clean offshore wind from the N at 16 mph, but with a tiny 1 ft swell, you’ll be doing more floating than surfing. Sunday the 16th morning is glassy, but the swell is practically non-existent at 1 ft. Monday the 17th is similar – glassy but with only 0.7 ft of wave energy. It’s a real write-off.
Now, Tuesday the 18th of August is the only real blip of potential in this whole outlook. We see the swell jump up to 5 ft from the W. That’s the biggest of the whole run. The wind is a moderate cross-offshore in the morning, which should keep it reasonably clean. But here’s the kicker – that period is only 7 seconds, a real short-period wind swell. It’s not going to have any grunt or shape to it. It’ll be fun for a punchy little close-out, but don’t expect any gems. The afternoon gets a fresh cross-onshore and lumpy, so make sure you get out early if you’re keen.
The rest of the run is more of the same. A small bump on the 23rd of August, but with cross-onshore winds making it choppy. The whole second week is a flat, clean-washed blown-out affair. The 27th of August afternoon shows some potential with a 4 ft swell and clean winds, but the 7-second period again kills the quality.
So, if you’re looking for the best of a bad bunch, Tuesday the 18th of August morning is your only real shot. Get out there early for the biggest, cleanest waves of the period. After that, it’s a waiting game. Keep an eye on the charts, but for now, this stretch is a hard pass.
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.
