The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s coming up for Langland Bay.
To be honest, the first week or so is a bit of a snoozer. We’re looking at tiny, weak waves day after day – mostly 0.3ft to 2ft from the west or southwest, with short periods and messy wind. The wind is coming from all angles, mostly side or side-onshore, so the surface is a chop-fest. This is a long, flat run, and it’s not until the morning of Thursday, August 15th that we get a little glassy 1ft from the WSW, but it’s still too small to get the heart pumping.
The first real glimmer of hope comes on the morning of Wednesday, August 14th. That morning brings a clean, 3ft WSW groundswell with a period of 11 seconds, and the wind is a light side-offshore from the WNW. The combined energy is a moderate 204, and the surf is looking clean. It’s the best bet in a pretty lean spell, but it’s only waist-to-chest high at best.
The standout of the whole outlook, however, is the morning of Thursday, August 20th. Now that’s more like it. That morning sees a solid 5ft swell from the west, with a period of 8 seconds and a moderate combined energy of 498. The wind is a clean side-offshore from the NW. This is proper surfable size, clean face, and the one to circle on the calendar. It’s a Thursday, so if you can sneak out, it’ll be worth it. The afternoon drops a bit to 4ft, still clean, but the morning is the pick.
The water temperature is a notable 69°F, which is a massive 8°F warmer than usual for this time of year. That’s very unusual, and you’ll be fine in a spring suit or maybe even a shorty.
So, to sum it up: be patient through the flat and choppy start, keep your eyes peeled for that clean Wednesday morning on the 14th, and make a plan for the morning of Thursday, August 20th. That’s your best chance.
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.
