Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the next 16 days at Langland Bay are looking pretty flat. The Gower isn’t showing much love at all.
The whole 16-day window is a struggle. The first real sniff of something rideable doesn’t show up until Friday the 24th of July. Before that, we’re looking at a solid 11-day stretch of tiny, gutless dribble. Swell heights are mostly bouncing between 0.3ft and 0.7ft with weak energy readings (down in the single digits or low tens), and that’s not going to get you out of your wetsuit. The water is way warmer than normal for this time of year at 69°, which is nice for a paddle, but not for a wave.
The only half-decent window comes around the 24th and 25th of July. Friday the 24th morning sees a pulse of 4ft from the WSW with a short period of 6 seconds, and the combined energy climbs to 99 (moderate). The wind is light from the west, so it’s a cross-shore with just a few bumps. It’s still not great, but it’s the biggest we’ll see. The afternoon picks up a little to 4ft with energy hitting 143 (moderate), but the wind swings onshore from the WSW and makes it choppy. Saturday the 25th morning is a drop back to 2ft, but the SE wind is light onshore, so still messy. Saturday afternoon, though, you get a glassy 1ft flurry from the WSW, which will be clean, but tiny. The period is still short at 7 seconds.
The best of a bad bunch is the Friday the 24th morning session. The swell is 4ft from the WSW, but it’s short-period windswell, so it’s going to be a bit lumpy and weak. Still, with the light westerly wind, it’ll be the cleanest option we get. The break is fairly exposed to the SW, so the direction isn’t perfect, but it’s the only game in town. Expect crowds, as it’s often busy here.
For the rest of the window, don’t even bother. It’s a long, flat run. This is a pretty typical blank spell for the area – forecasts can always change, but right now, we’re in a drought.
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.
