Table - best surf conditions forecast for Langland Bay over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, let's have a look at what's happening in our little corner of the coast. I'm talkin' about Langland Bay here.
Honestly, for the next week or so, it's a bit of a bummer. We've got a long stretch of flat to tiny, weak waves. The water's cooked though – a solid 68° and running much warmer than normal for this time of year. That's nice for a swim, but not for riding.
From now through to about the 23rd of July, it's a whole lot of nothing. We're talkin' swell under 3ft most days, with combined wave energy barely registering, often under 50. The wind's all over the shop – cross, cross-off, even some glassy patches, but with no swell to work with, it's just a flat lake. There's a couple of clean afternoons, like Tuesday the 14th and Thursday the 16th, with glassy conditions, but the wave heights are just 0.3ft to 0.7ft. You'd need a leaf to surf that.
We finally get a little pulse of hope on the 24th of July. Friday morning the swell jumps to 5ft from the WSW, period around 6 seconds, and the energy climbs to 194. The wind's a light cross-onshore from the SW. Then Friday afternoon, it gets a bit more serious – 8ft from the WSW, period bumping to 8 seconds and energy hitting 785. The wind is cross from the WSW at 12 mph which will mean some chop on the face. That size is getting into the bigger stuff, more for your experienced crew.
The 25th of July, Saturday morning, still has some decent swell at 5ft from the west, period 9 seconds and energy around 332. But the wind is onshore from the SSE at 6 mph, which will mess with the surface. The afternoon cleans up a bit but the swell drops.
So, if you had to pick the one standout, it's that Friday afternoon session on the 24th of July. The 8ft swell is the biggest of the whole run. The period is a short 8 seconds, so it'll be a bit crumbly and won't have that long-period grunt. It'll be a challenge, and the moderate cross-breeze will make it bumpy, but it's the biggest push of energy we've seen. This isn't a beginner’s wave at all.
Other than that, there's just not much on offer. A long, quiet run for Langland. Forecasts can change, but right now I'd say keep the board in the car and the wetsuit dry for most of this stretch.

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.

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.
