Table - best surf conditions forecast for Langland Bay over the next 16 days.
Alright, let's look at the charts for the next couple of weeks. I’ll be honest with you, it’s a tough stretch ahead for our stretch of coast here. The models are showing a prolonged flat spell with nothing really worth paddling out for. We're looking at a solid gap of no real surf on offer for the first week or so, with only a couple of tiny bumps that won't even break the knee.
The first hint of anything that could be called a wave shows up around Tuesday the 21st of July, but even then, it’s nothing to get excited about. A small bump of 4ft from the west with a short, snappy 8 second period pushes in. The energy is weak, coming in at a paltry 132 (moderate energy). The morning might offer a clean-ish window with a light offshore breeze from the northwest, but the quality will be ordinary.
Things get interesting, but also a little dangerous, by Wednesday the 22nd of July. The swell jumps up to 7ft from the west, with swell energy soaring to 523 (strong energy). That’s a solid amount of water moving around. But the period is still a short 8 seconds, and the wind is light, cross-onshore. This is a bit of a dodgy one. The size is too big for beginners and the short-period swell will make it a bit of a washing machine. Really, with that much power and messy wind, this might be one for the kite surfers.
After that peak, the swell drops back down fast through the end of the month, with the usual poor conditions and onshore winds taking over again. It's a frustrating run, for sure. The water temperature anomaly is a whopping 9° warmer than average for this time of year, so the water will be very warm at 68°F.
Honestly, keep your eyes on the charts. When it’s this quiet for this long, the pattern can switch up. But as it stands, there isn't a single standout day. The best you can hope for is a clean, small wave on that Tuesday morning, but it’s a long shot.

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.
