The Lowdown
Alright, let's talk about Langland Bay. I've been staring at the charts for the next 16 days, and honestly, it's a tough one. There's nothing good on offer. Not a single period in the whole window – from July 18th right through to August 2nd – shows any surf worth paddling out for. The water temperature is a story in itself, though: it's sitting at 69°F, which is a whopping 9° warmer than normal for this time of year. That's really unusual, almost like the ocean's had a fever.
Now, Langland Bay is usually fairly consistent, so a blank run like this is a bit of a surprise. It tends not to stay poor for long around here, and forecasts can shift, so don't lose all hope. But as it stands, every single forecast window is marked as "poor surf conditions." Even on Saturday the 25th, when a little pulse of 5ft swell from the west shows up with a combined energy of 179 – that's moderate energy – the wind is cross-off in the morning, which would normally be clean, but the waves are still too small and weak to do anything with (period is only 7 seconds). The rest of the period is even smaller, with glassy conditions on some mornings but still no real swell. The optimum swell direction for Langland is SW, and we're seeing mostly W and WSW, so that's not helping either.
Bottom line: don't bother packing your board for the next two weeks. If anything changes, I'll be the first to tell you. For now, it's a waiting game.

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.
