The Lowdown

Alright folks, let’s chew the fat on Langland Bay. We’ve got a 16-day window ahead and, I’ll be honest, it ain’t lookin’ pretty. Water temp’s about 69°F, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year, so hey, at least you won’t be freezin’.

First thing’s first: from now until the morning of Friday, August 7th, it’s basically a write-off. The surf is *poor* with barely a ripple worth mentionin’. There’s a big ol’ gap there where the swell’s all short-period and the wind’s messin’ everything up – combined energies are mostly weak to moderate, like 15 to 203, but with onshores and chop. Not worth the drive.

Then Friday morning, August 7th, we get a little flicker. Winds go light from the NW, so it’s cross-offshore and clean. There’s a 3ft swell from the W, but it’s only 6 seconds apart – so it’s weak, with combined energy of just 82. The report says "surfable but very ordinary", which is about right. It’s a longboard or maybe a foil if you’re keen, but it’s not gonna blow your mind.

Now, circle Sunday afternoon, August 9th. This is the one bright spot in the whole forecast. Wind goes *glassy* from the WNW – dead calm. You’ll see a 5ft swell from the W, but again, it’s short-period at 5 seconds. The combined energy is moderate at 129. With that glassy surface, it could be the cleanest surf of the whole run. It won’t be powerful, but it’ll be smooth. Expect crowds, ‘cause it’s a fairly consistent, fairly exposed spot.

After that, we’re back to junk: onshores, chop, small weak waves. The setup looks more like a kite surfer’s dream than a paddle surfer’s paradise for most of it.

There’s nothin’ here that screams "go now". It’s a lean spell, but that’s how it goes sometimes. Keep an eye on the sky; things can turn around.

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.
