The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what we've got cookin' for the next few weeks.
To be straight with you, the next couple of weeks are a tough beat. We’re looking at a long, drawn-out stretch of tiny, weak waves at Langland Bay. The water is absolutely balmy for the time of year at 70°, which is much warmer than normal, but that's about the only upside.
The first real chance of anything half-way decent doesn't show up until Thursday morning, the 20th of August. Even then, we're only looking at a modest 4 ft from the West with a short, weak 6 second period. The energy is moderate at best (132), and while the WNW wind of 6 mph will keep the surface clean, the conditions are described as "very ordinary." I wouldn't get too excited for that one.
Honestly, there's nothing here that screams "go time." The swell energy is low for the entire window, mostly under 100, pushing into the low 100s on a couple of mornings. The wind is mostly cross or cross-off, with a bit of glass here and there, but the waves just aren't there. For the first week, and even into the second, it's all tiny surf.
The long-range outlook into the last week of August and the start of September is even smaller. We’re talking waves barely 0.3 ft to 1 ft, with a very long period swell showing up around Monday the 24th (14 seconds), but with almost no height or energy to back it up (combined energy of just 13). That’s not surfable. This is a poor run for the area, but it is what it is.
Stay sharp, check the forecasts, but don't hold your breath. This is one of those times to wax the longboard and paddle for the pure joy of it, not for the ride.
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.
