The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on offer for Langland Bay over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – it ain't looking prime. The water is absolutely roasting, sitting at 68°F which is a massive 7°F warmer than usual for this time of year. That’s really unusual, almost like a little pocket of summer stuck around. But the surf itself? It’s a tough watch for a while.
We've got a bump of energy coming in on Friday the 4th, with a solid 6ft swell from the WSW, packing a decent punch with moderate wave energy (420). But the wind is a raw 22 mph cross-shore from the W, so it’s going to be a lumpy, choppy mess. Not exactly something to get excited about.
Saturday the 5th offers a little glimmer. The swell drops to 3ft from the W, and the wind turns lighter from the WNW at 9 mph, going cross-offshore. That’s clean. But it’s a short-period 7-second wave, and the energy is weak (131). You might get a few surfable ones in the morning, but it’s very ordinary.
We get a bit of a jump in size on Monday the 7th. A new, longer-period groundswell rolls in, 6ft from the W with a period of 13 seconds. The combined energy is strong (1001). This is a proper, powerful swell. However, the wind is a stiff cross-shore again. It’s going to be lumpy. 7ft hits that afternoon with very strong energy (1275), but same problem – messy from the cross-wind. This one is all about potential if the wind plays ball, but on paper, it’s rough.
Tuesday the 8th keeps that size – 6ft to 7ft from the WSW – but the wind stays fresh and cross. Some clean patches show up Thursday morning, the 11th, with a cross-off wind and a 4ft swell, but the energy is only moderate (271). After that, the wave heights just fade away into nothing from the 12th right through to the 19th. There’s a long stretch of tiny, weak surf—stuff like 0.7ft to 2ft. We even get some glassy conditions on the 18th and 19th, flat calm wind, but the swell is basically non-existent.
If I had to pick the best of a bad bunch, it would be the Saturday morning, 5th of September. The swell is small, but that light, clean cross-off wind gives you your best shot at a fun, rideable wave on a longboard. The bigger stuff on the 7th and 8th has all the power you could want, but the onshore wind will just tear it apart. It’s a proper shame.
Rusty.

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.
