The Lowdown
G'day, I'm Rusty. Let's have a look at what's on offer for Langland Bay over the next couple of weeks.
Truth be told, mate, it's a pretty quiet run for the most part. The water's sitting at a very warm 70.2°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – feels like a proper summer bath. We've got a bit of a wait on our hands for anything decent. The first few days are all poor surf conditions with tiny waves and messy winds. There's a long gap through the middle of the period where the swell drops right out, with barely a ripple from the 22nd of August through to the 25th. The models are showing a bit of a pulse kicking in around the 26th, but it's still got poor conditions attached right up until the 30th of August.
The standout window looks to be on the morning of Sunday the 30th of August. We've got some swell picking up to 5.2 ft from the WSW, with a period of 7 seconds and a combined energy of 397 (moderate). The wind is a light breeze from the WNW, which is a cross-offshore – that'll keep the surface clean. The forecast says "expect good surf conditions," so this is the session to aim for. The water is still warm, and the break points are decent. Later that afternoon the wind swings cross-on and the conditions get choppy, so make it a morning mission.
After that, the 31st of August sees a jump in swell energy to 650 (moderate to strong), with 5.2 ft from the WSW and a period of 10 seconds, but the wind is a fresh 30 km/h (18.6 mph) cross-shore, and there's a risk of thunderstorms, so it's messy and lumpy. The first of September is pretty average with dropping swell and stronger onshore winds.
So, to wrap it up: the only real highlight is the morning of the 30th of August at Langland Bay. Get in the water early, grab a few clean ones, and call it a good day.

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.
