The Lowdown
Rusty here, looking at the Langland Bay stretch for the next couple of weeks. Straight up, it’s a slow start. The first week and a half is mostly a write-off. We’ve got a lot of small, weak, and pretty ordinary surf, with onshore and cross-shore winds chopping things up. The swell energy is just not there, with values mostly in the low double digits to just over a hundred, like a weak 108 to a moderate 192 on Tuesday. The water is a real standout though, sitting at 68°, which is a hefty 7° warmer than usual for this time of year. That’s a big deal, so you won’t need a thick suit.
The blank run starts now and goes through the first week of August. There’s a tiny pulse on the 6th, but it’s only 3ft with a short 6-second period and a moderate breeze, so it’s not worth paddling out for. The 8th and 9th are glassy but flat, with swell under 2ft. The 12th and 13th see a slight bump in energy, but the wind stays messy and the period is still short. We finally get a bit of a wave on the morning of the 14th, but the conditions are just “very ordinary” with a cross-shore breeze.
The real action, if you can wait, is on the 19th of August. That Wednesday morning is the standout of the whole run. We’ve got a solid 5ft of west-northwest swell, with a 9-second period and a strong energy reading of 440. The wind is glassy – almost calm – and that’s what makes it all work. It’s breaking with some power and the surface will be clean. This is worth working around. The afternoon gets a bit lumpy with a cross-shore breeze, so you want to be out there early.
Before that, the 17th and 18th have some `surfable` waves, but they’re nothing special. The 17th morning is clean with a light offshore, but the swell is only 4ft and a bit disorganized. The 18th morning is glassy with 5ft, but again, it’s not showing the same energy and quality as the 19th. It’s a long wait, but that 19th morning is the one to circle on the calendar. For the rest of the time, you’re just looking at small, junky waves. It’s a frustrating stretch, but that one morning could make it worth it.
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.
