The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you – it’s a bit of a flat spell on the horizon for our stretch of coast. I've been staring at the charts for the next couple of weeks and, to be honest, it's pretty grim for a while. We've got a long stretch of nothing worth paddling out for, so if you're itching for a wave, you might want to sort out other plans for the time being.

The first week is a total write-off. From the 9th through to the 18th, we're looking at ankle-biters and knee-high slop, with the swell barely registering. The energy is weak, with values mostly in the single digits or low double digits. The winds are mostly cross or onshore, chopping up what little there is. There are a couple of moments, like the morning of the 10th with a gentle offshore, but the swell is just too small – you'd be fighting for a dribble. It's not worth the wetsuit zip.

We do finally see a bit of life around the 19th and 20th. The swell picks up to a tiny 2ft on the Wednesday morning, but the real story is the wind. It's dead calm, totally glassy. The energy is a bit more noticeable at 43. But even then, it's still just small, clean lines. It's a bit of a tease, really. The morning of the 22nd is glassy again, but the swell is still unimpressive.

The one bright spot, and I mean the *only* real standout in this whole 16-day window, is the morning of Monday, the 24th of August. We finally get some proper size pushing in, with the swell jumping to 5ft from the WSW. The energy reading jumps to 212, which is a strong pulse of energy. The catch is the wind is a light cross-onshore from the ESE, so it won't be perfect, but it's the most surfable it's been all week. The afternoon cleans up to glassy conditions as the swell drops to a still-fun 4ft. This is the one to keep an eye on. It's a Monday, so it might be a bit less crowded, but given how flat it's been, don't be surprised to see a few other keen locals out there.

Before that, on the 23rd, there's a 3ft morning with a light offshore, but it's just not in the same league.

So, there you have it. A whole lot of nothing for the next two weeks, bookended by one promising pulse of swell on the 24th. It ain't much, but it's something to aim for. Forecasts can change, so I'll keep an eye on it, but for now, don't hold your breath.

Keep the faith,

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.

Langland Bay is 8 km (5 miles) from Swansea. If you plan a holiday in Wales - Gower, look for hotels and other accommodation in Swansea. Swansea has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
