The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's shaping up for Langland Bay over the next couple of weeks. Gonna be a long wait, but there's a light at the end of the tunnel.
The problem right now is the wind. It's just not playing ball. For days and days, we're stuck with onshore and cross-shore breezes that are chopping up every bit of swell that tries to roll in. Even though there's some low-energy swell around, it's just not worth paddling out for. You'll be fighting a bumpy, lumpy mess for very little reward. The combined energy is mostly weak, with values sitting between 52 and 265, just enough to get your hopes up but not enough to overcome the junk conditions. We're looking at a bit of a dry spell from now until about the 20th of September.
There is a small glimmer late on Tuesday the 20th with a clean cross-off wind, but the swell is small and the energy is low at 290. It is not the standout.
The real payoff starts Monday the 21st of September. That morning the wind swings offshore from the north, a moderate breeze at 12 mph, and we get a clean, 6 ft swell from the west. The combined energy jumps to 285, and conditions are reported as good. This is the moment the wait is over. It’s not huge and the period is a short 7 seconds, but it’s clean and you’ll have some fun lines.
Now, if you can hold out a few more days, the 25th of September looks like a serious session. Thursday the 24th has some nice glassy conditions early, but Friday the 25th is where it’s at. That Friday morning, we have an 8 ft swell from the west-southwest with a moderate 8-second period. The energy is massive at 979, and it's glassy – dead calm winds. This is a setup for powerful, clean waves for the experienced crew. The morning of Saturday the 26th is even bigger, with the same 8 ft swell and a combined energy of 1653 under glassy conditions. This is expert territory for sure.
So, the plan is simple: sit out the chop until the 21st, then get some. And if you’re a competent surfer, circle the 25th and 26th of September on your calendar. That’s the Langland Bay I’d be waiting for.
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.
