The Lowdown

Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Langland Bay. I’ll be straight with you – the next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat and uninspiring. There’s nothing on the cards that’s really worth paddling out for, certainly not from the first recommendation. The whole 16-day window is a bit of a write-off, sadly.

We start off on Monday the 3rd of August with a tiny bit of swell, around 3ft from the WSW, but the cross-on wind from the SE at 12 mph is just going to mess it up. It’s a poor, choppy mess, and the combined wave energy is a weak 84. The water is a very unusual 68° – that’s a massive 7° warmer than normal for this time of year, so it’s like a bath, but the surf is not worth getting in for.

Tuesday the 4th sees a tiny bump in size to 3ft, but again, the cross-on wind from the SW at 12 mph keeps it choppy and poor. The combined energy is still only moderate at 154. The period is a short 7 seconds, so it’s just messy, windswell.

Wednesday the 5th brings a bit more height, with 6ft from the WSW, but it’s accompanied by a fresh, strong cross-shore wind at 22 mph. This creates a lumpy, blown-out cross-chop. The combined energy hits 310, which is moderate, but the quality is terrible. For a beach break like Langland, this is more of a kite-surfing kind of day than a paddle-surfing one.

The rest of the first week and into the second week is a sad story of tiny waves, often under 2ft, with weak energy readings in the teens or single digits. There are a few moments of glassy conditions, like on the morning of Sunday the 9th of August with a light NW wind, or the morning of Monday the 10th, but the swell is just too small – 2ft and 0.7ft respectively – to do anything with. The combined energy on those glassy days is a pathetic 47 and 5.

We get a brief flicker of hope on the 16th of August – a Sunday morning – with a clean, gentle offshore wind from the NNW and 2ft of swell. It’s clean, but the period is a short 5 seconds and the combined energy is only 19. It’s a small, weak wave.

Looking further out, the 18th of August has a clean cross-offshore wind and a tiny 2ft wave, but with a period of only 4 seconds, it’s just wind ripples. The combined energy is 16.

There’s simply no standout session here. The entire period is dominated by either no swell or poor-quality, wind-affected junk. The surf just isn’t happening. This is one of those blank runs that’s pretty normal for the area when the weather patterns don’t line up. It won’t stay poor forever, but for now, keep the board in the car.

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.
