The Lowdown
Alright, I’m looking at the charts for the next couple of weeks and honestly, it’s a bit of a tough stretch for us here at Langland Bay. We’ve got a long gap with no real surf to speak of, then a potential window of clean waves that might just make it all worthwhile.
The first week is pretty much a write-off for quality surfing. We’ve got some tiny swell rolling in from the 27th of August, but it’s barely pushing 1 foot with a period of just 7 seconds and a cross-shore wind on top. The wave energy is negligible, so there’s nothing to get excited about. That stays poor right through to the start of September. There’s a brief moment on the morning of the 2nd of September when the wind goes glassy, but the swell is still weak and messy. The conditions are just not there.
Then, from the 7th of September, things start to shift. The morning of the 7th sees a cleaner setup with cross-offshore winds from the NNW, and a solid 6-foot swell from the west. The period is 8 seconds, so it’s a bit short, but the wave energy is moderate. The clean conditions are a major positive, and you’ll find some fun, rideable waves. The afternoon keeps that clean feel with a 5-foot swell.
The real standout, though, is the morning of the 11th of September. That’s when we’ve got an 8-foot swell from the WSW with a period of 9 seconds, and the wind is offshore from the north at just 6 mph. The wave energy is strong. This is a powerful, clean swell that’s going to light up the point. For the experienced surfers, this is the one to circle on the calendar. It’s big enough to demand respect at over 8 feet, so it’s definitely for the experts.
A few days earlier, on the 10th of September, there’s also a clean morning with a 2-foot swell and a 10-second period, with offshore wind. The energy is low, so it’s a small, clean option for the more patient among you.
Water temps are about average for the time of year, so no wetsuit drama there.
For the most part, the wind is against us, so when that clean window opens up on the 7th, and especially the 11th, that’s when you want to be in the water.

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.
