The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, and I’ve got the lowdown on what’s happening at Langland Bay. Let’s cut through the noise.
Honestly, mate, it’s a tough stretch ahead. The next week and a half or so is looking pretty flat and underwhelming. The water temp is sitting about average for the time of year, so no shock there, but the waves are just not playing ball.
We kick off on Friday 17th July with tiny, weak swell – talking 0.7ft from the west with a short period, and the combined energy is a measly 7. It’s glassy in the morning, which is nice, but there’s nothing to ride. This pattern pretty much holds through the whole first week. Saturday and Sunday are the same story: tiny waves, clean conditions in the mornings, but the swell is barely a ripple. The wind is mostly light or offshore, which is a tease. The combined energy on Sunday morning is only 2. You’d be better off having a coffee.
The following week doesn’t get much better. Monday through Thursday we see a bit of movement, but it’s all still under 1ft. On Wednesday 22nd July morning, we get a clean offshore with 0.7ft and a period of 10 seconds, and the energy is 8 – still not enough to get excited about. The best we see is a tiny bump on Saturday 25th July, where the swell nudges up to 4ft in the morning with a 6-second period, and the combined energy hits 109. The wind is clean cross-off, so it’ll look pretty, but that short period is going to be weak and crumbly. Not for experts, not for beginners.
The real “standout” – and I use that word loosely – is Sunday 26th July morning. We get 3ft from the west, 7-second period, and the energy is 86. The wind is a slight cross-off, so it’s clean. The description says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions,” which sums it up. It’s the only thing all fortnight that’s even worth a look. The swell direction is straight west, and the optimum for Langland Bay is southwest, so it’s a bit off. Still, if you’re desperate, that’s your window.
After that, it drops right back down to tiny, weak stuff through the end of the month and into the start of August. Nothing else worth paddling out for.
So, bottom line: there’s a long, flat gap. The only real chance to get wet is the morning of Sunday 26th July, and even then, keep your expectations low. It’s a quiet spell, but it won’t last forever. Forecasts can change.
Rusty.

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.
