Table - best surf conditions forecast for Langland Bay over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for Langland Bay over the next couple of weeks. I'm sorry to say it, but we've got a tough stretch ahead. The data shows a long run of "poor surf conditions" right through the entire 16-day window. There is no standout session, no hidden gem to get excited about. This is a real blank run for the area, and honestly, it’s the kind of quiet spell that can happen here when the swell just doesn't line up.
Starting from today, the 9th of July, and looking ahead, the swell is tiny. We're talking about waves around 1ft on the Thursday afternoon with a weak combined swell energy of just 20. The wind is a light cross-shore, not ideal. Friday and Saturday don't offer any improvement either – heights stay under 2ft and the energy barely gets above 40 at best. There are a couple of glassy moments, like Saturday afternoon with that calm wind, but with waves only 1ft and a period of 8 seconds, there's just no power to ride.
This pattern of tiny surf and weak energy carries on. The combined swell energy values are almost all two-digit numbers, rarely cracking 50, which tells you how little push there is. Wind conditions vary, but even on the cleaner days with offshore or cross-offshore breezes (like the 12th, 17th, or 20th), the swell height maxes out at around 3ft to 3ft. Those days might look alright for a paddle, but the wave quality is still rated poor.
Looking into the second week, say the 17th through the 24th of July, we see a little more consistency in the swell height – hovering around 2ft to 3ft – and the energy nudges up into the 50s and 60s on a few occasions. The wind is often clean, particularly on the 19th and 20th with some cross-off and offshore breezes. But it’s still not enough to turn the corner into good surf. The swell direction is mostly west or west-southwest, and the period is short, between 5 and 9 seconds, meaning crumbly, weak waves. It's just not gonna offer any punch.
So, to sum it up plainly: there are no good surf options within this 16-day window for Langland Bay. The swell is too small and the energy is too weak to produce anything rideable for a surfer looking for a decent session. Sometimes the ocean just goes quiet, and this is one of those times. Keep an eye on the charts, things can change. For now, it’s a waiting game.
Rusty.

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.
