The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: this 16-day window for Langland Bay is looking grim. For the first week, from Saturday the 18th of July all the way through to Friday the 24th, there’s just no surf worth paddling out for. The swell heights barely crawl above 0.3 ft, and the energy is so weak it’s basically a flat spell. That’s nearly a week of nothing but a washed-out lake.
The only flicker of life starts to show up on Saturday the 25th of July, but even then, conditions are poor. By Saturday afternoon, the swell bumps up to 3 ft from the west, but the period is a short, weak 4 seconds, and that fresh cross-onshore wind at 35 km/h will have it choppy and lumpy. Not your friend.
Into Sunday the 26th, the swell pushes a little more—4.6 ft from the west-southwest in the morning, with a moderate 7-second period. The combined energy climbs to 203, which is moderate energy, but it’s still a messy cross-shore wind at 25 km/h. This is one for the experts only, if anyone. The water temperature is 68.5°, which is over 4 degrees warmer than average for the time of year—very unusual, but it doesn't fix the junky waves.
Monday the 27th sees more of the same, with 3.6 ft to 3.9 ft west swells, short periods of 6 to 7 seconds, and winds that keep it cross or cross-onshore. The whole setup is better suited for kite surfing than a clean paddle session.
Maybe the last few days offer a slight silver lining. By Thursday the 30th of July, the swell hits 4.9 ft from the west in the morning with an 8-second period and a big energy spike to 452 (strong wave energy). But there’s light rain, and winds are onshore. That’s raw power, but it’ll be a battle. Friday the 31st of July and into the start of August mornings are cleaner, with cross-offshore winds from the northeast, but the swell drops back below 3.6 ft and energy fades to 120 or less.
Overall, there is no standout day here. The best bet would be Friday the 31st of July morning: 3.6 ft swell from the west, fairly clean with the cross-off wind, but it’s still small and short-period. If you’re desperate, you could get wet, but this isn't the week to call in sick.

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.
