The Lowdown

Right, let’s have a look at the Gower, then. Langland Bay’s the only game in town for this whole sixteen-day stretch, so we’re stuck with it. And honestly, it’s a bit of a mixed bag. The water’s sitting about average for the time of year, so nothing weird there.

The first few days are a write-off. Friday the 4th is a mess – strong cross-shore wind with lumpy, poor conditions. Saturday the 5th, the morning cleans up a bit – light breeze, clean faces, but you’re only looking at chest-high, wobbly stuff from the west. The swell energy is weak (145), and the period’s short. It’s surfable, but that’s about it. That afternoon and the whole of Sunday are poor again.

There’s a bit of a tease on Monday the 7th. The morning looks clean with a decent 6ft of southwest swell, and the period jumps to 13 seconds – that’s proper groundswell. The energy’s strong (1297), but the wind is moderate, and the forecast is marginal. It’s a long-period swell, so at a beach break like Langland, it might be a bit straight and crumbly. Still, it’s the best of a bad bunch for the first week. The afternoon gets chopped up.

Then we’ve got a real gap. Tuesday the 8th through to Sunday the 13th is mostly poor surf with onshore junk or tiny waves. Monday the 14th though… that’s the standout. The morning session is where it’s at. We’re looking at 7ft of swell from the WSW, with a light cross-offshore breeze and clean conditions. The energy’s strong (471). That’s a solid, punchy wave size – not for beginners, but for anyone who’s comfortable, it’s going to be proper. The wind is light, so it’ll be clean. The afternoon gets a bit cross-choppy again, but that morning is the one to go for. After that, the rest of the window drops off into tiny, glassy, or poor conditions.

So, if you’re in the Gower, your best bet is to circle Monday the 14th of September in the morning. The rest of the period is full of long flat gaps. It’s a bit of a barren run, but that one session looks worth the wait.

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.
