Langland Bay Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright mates, Rusty here again. Let’s break down what’s happening at Langland Bay in the next sixteen days.

Honestly, the first week is a bit of a bummer. We’re looking at a long stretch of poor surf from now through the end of August and into early September. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, and the swell is all over the place. It’s not a great time to paddle out. The first real chance of something decent doesn’t show up until Monday, September 7th.

That Monday morning is the one to circle. The wind is glassy, coming from the north-northeast at a light 5 km/h, and the swell is a clean 5 ft from the WSW with a long 11-second period. The combined energy is a solid 452 (moderate), so there’s some proper push. The conditions are glassy, which is a major win. The afternoon stays clean with a light offshore breeze from the north, dropping to about 4 ft. That’s your best session of the first week.

The next standout is a good way off, on Friday, September 11th. The afternoon session looks like a stunner. The wind goes glassy again, with a light south-southwest breeze, and the swell is a clean 4 ft from the WSW with a 9-second period. The combined energy is 270 (moderate). It’s a proper autumn afternoon, and it’s the pick of the second week.

The water temp is a very warm 69°F, which is 8°F warmer than usual. That’s seriously unusual for this time of year, so you might be able to get away with a thinner suit.

For the rest of the period, it’s mostly poor. The wind stays strong and cross-shore or onshore, and the swell is often short-period and choppy. There’s a big pulse of 10 ft swell on Thursday, September 10th, but it’s coming with a cross-onshore wind, so it’s going to be a messy, lumpy mess. That’s more of a kite-surfing day than a surfing day, to be honest.

So, to wrap it up: the first week is a write-off. The clear windows are Monday, September 7th, and Friday, September 11th. Those are the days to keep an eye on.

Rusty.
