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, I'm looking at a pretty grim picture. The forecast is full of barely-there swell and messy wind. You're gonna be waitin' a while for anything even worth paddling out for. The first real hope doesn't show up until Sunday the 26th of July, and even then, it's a struggle.
The water is a whopping 69°, which is *much warmer than normal* for this time of year. That's a wild anomaly, feels like a tropical lagoon out there, but the waves are playing hard to get.
Sunday the 26th of July is the first time we see a pulse of energy. Swell bumps up to a tiny 3 ft from the WSW, with a weak 6-second period. The combined energy is only (46). But the wind is a clean, cross-off shore from the NNW, and that's the key. It'll be a bumpy, small day, but you might find a few fun, clean little runners. The morning looks best.
Monday the 27th of July is the real standout. The swell holds at 3 ft from the W, with a 7-second period, and the energy climbs to (88). The wind is offshore and moderate from the WNW, keeping the surface clean. For Langland, this is as good as it gets in this window. It's still not big, but it's the most consistent and shapely the waves will be. The difficulty is 'intermediate', so it's not for total beginners, but experienced surfers will have a morning of fun, clean waves. It being fairly consistent helps, though you can expect crowds to be a problem here, as it's often busy.
The rest of the period is a write-off. From Tuesday the 28th, it's back to tiny, weak, and choppy, with combined energy dropping back into the single digits and teens. There's a bump of 2 ft on Sunday the 2nd of August and Monday the 3rd, but the wind is straight onshore and howling, making it a lumpy, choppy mess. That setup is more interesting for the kite surfers than us paddle folk.
So, your only real window is the end of July. Don't hold your breath for anything else.
Stay steady,
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.

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.
