The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin' for Langland Bay over the next couple of weeks.

Honestly, it's a bit of a tough watch for the first half of the outlook. We've got a solid run of onshore winds and lumpy, choppy conditions that are just not doing Langland any favours. For the first week, from the 1st through to the 6th, it’s a real struggle. The wind is mostly cross-on or onshore, and the swell is either short-period windswell or just too weak to care about. You’ll see a bit of energy, but the quality just isn't there. It’s a write-off for paddle surfing.

Things start to get interesting around the 7th. A bigger pulse of swell rolls in. Monday the 7th morning we see a 4.9ft swell from the WSW with a very long period of 13 seconds. That’s some serious groundswell energy, and the combined energy is a very solid 713. The wind is a light cross-on, and the comment says it’s "marginal," so we’re not out of the woods yet, but this is the first real sign of life. The period is so long, it might be a bit too straight for the beach break, but it’s a sign of hope.

Now, if you can hold out for a while, the 9th of September looks like a nice little window. Wednesday morning is clean with a cross-off wind from the WNW at 22 mph, and we’ve got a 3ft swell. It’s a bit on the smaller side, but clean, cross-off, and surfable. The combined energy is 276 (moderate). It’s not a world-beater, but it’s the best looking morning for a wave in a while.

The real standout, the one you should be circling on the calendar, looks like the 10th of September. Thursday morning, we’ve got a light 6 mph WNW cross-off wind, making for clean conditions. The swell is 3.9ft from the WSW, and the combined energy hits 116. It’s labelled as "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions," but with that light wind, it’s going to be clean and fun. It’s the best bet for a proper session.

After that, the models get a bit messy. The 14th shows a 4.9ft swell but with a cross-shore wind, so expect some chop. The 15th has another 4.6ft swell from the WSW, but the wind turns back onshore. There’s promise, but it’s a long way out to be sure.

Oh, and the water temperature is a huge talking point. It’s sitting at 68.2°, which is a whopping 7° warmer than usual for this time of year. That’s incredibly unusual. You’ll be in for a very warm session if you’re brave enough to get out there during the clean windows.

So, for the best of it, get up for the 10th of September. That’s your best window for a clean, fun, albeit small, surf. The 9th is a solid runner-up, too. The rest of the window is mostly a fight against the wind. Keep your eye on the forecasts, but for now, that’s the story.

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.
