The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a proper look at what’s on offer at Langland Bay over the next couple of weeks.

First up, it’s a pretty bleak start. The water is sitting at 69°F which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s where the good news stops. From Monday 31st of August right through to the end of the first week of September, we’ve got a mix of onshore, cross-on, and generally messy winds, lumpy conditions, and only poor surf to show for it. The swell shows up a few times – on Monday 31st there’s a 6ft swell from the WSW with a period of 10 seconds, but it’s getting hammered by a 30 km/h cross-off wind, so the energy is moderate (551) but the quality is just not there. Wednesday 2nd September afternoon sees another 6ft pulse, but it’s a choppy, rain-soaked affair with a short 6-second period and 35 km/h winds. Not worth paddling out for.

There is a glimmer early on Friday 4th September morning. The swell picks up to 6ft from the WSW, period 8 seconds, and the wind swings to a cross-off out of the WNW at 20 km/h. The energy jumps to 679 (strong wave energy) and the conditions are clean. This is the one standout in the first week. For intermediate surfers, this could be a decent session – the swell direction is SW which is right in Langland Bay’s sweet spot. It’s not huge, but the clean face and the strong energy might give you a few good ones. Crowds are often around here, so expect company.

The rest of that week and into the second week is a write-off. Saturday 5th September morning and afternoon have glassy conditions with a tiny 3ft to 2ft WSW swell – surfable but very ordinary, just knee-high dribble. The energy is weak (102 and 86). From Sunday 6th right through to Saturday 12th September, it’s all poor surf with onshore and cross-on winds, short periods, and very low energy. There’s a brief moment on Wednesday 9th September morning with a 5ft W swell and clean cross-off, but the wind is a screaming 40 km/h, so it’s unrideable unless you’re a kite surfer. The same goes for the 7ft pulse on that afternoon – it’s just messy.

The second week holds no real redemption. From Sunday 13th September onwards, the swell drops to a pathetic 0.3ft to 0.7ft, with periods all over the shop. The wind is either cross-on or cross-off, but the energy is barely a whisper (2 to 16). This is a classic blank run for the area – nothing to get excited about, and the forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a long wait.

So, the best bet is Friday 4th September morning. Get on it early, because the afternoon fades. After that, set your expectations low, because the surf is going to be flat, blown out, or both for a long stretch.

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.
