The Lowdown

Alright, let’s keep it real. The surf at Langland Bay is flat-out quiet for most of this 16-day stretch. The first real chance you get to slide into a wave is on Thursday, August 13th. Up until then, the waves are waist-high or smaller, and the wind is either cross or messy.

That Thursday morning is the pick of the bunch. We’ve got a 0.9m (3 ft) swell coming from the WSW with a 9-second period. The wind is light and blowing offshore, so the faces should be clean. The water is sitting at a warm 69°, which is way above the norm for this time of year. Wave energy is moderate at 111. This is the most surfable we’re going to see all forecast. Langland Bay holds a decent shape when it picks up, and with clean conditions, it’s the only window worth chasing. Crowds are a possibility, so get there early.

Everything after the 13th drops off into small, weak surf with cross-shore winds. Even a couple of later pulses around the 17th and 18th get ruined by strong onshore winds. It’s a tough run, but that one morning is your shot.

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.

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.
