The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, and I’m gonna level with you – this stretch is a tough one. We're looking at Langland Bay, and honestly, the next two weeks are pretty bleak for a proper paddle session. There’s not a single standout in the whole 16-day window, so we’re just gonna call it as it is.
The whole run starts off rough. Friday the 28th through the weekend is a write-off. You’ve got rain showers, lumpy, cross-onshore winds, and the swell is a messy 4ft from the WSW with a pathetic 5 to 6 second period. The energy is weak to moderate at best, with values between 69 and 494, but it’s just not clean.
Monday the 31st morning is the closest we get to a window, with a 6ft WSW swell pushing moderate energy (624) and a clean cross-offshore wind from the WNW. That sound’s alright, but the wave comment says it’s still "poor surf conditions". By the afternoon, it’s only marginal, so it’s a low-percentage gamble for the experienced crew only.
From there, it’s a long, boring gap. Tuesday the 1st of September drops right off to under 3ft, and the following days are plagued by strong onshores, cross-chop, and messy westerly swells. The water’s sitting at a very unusual 69° – that’s 8° warmer than normal, which is proper weird for this time of year, but the quality just isn’t there to enjoy it.
The second week sees a tiny blip on Saturday the 6th, with a glassy morning but only 2ft of weak, short-period mush – not worth the wetsuit struggle. The 7th of September Monday morning has a clean 5ft W swell with a cross-offshore breeze, moderate energy around 218, but again, it’s described as "very ordinary." After that, the swell fades into nothing, with energy dropping to single digits by the 12th.
There’s no surfable gem here. A few days between the 1st and 5th have next to nothing, and then the last week is practically flat. For a spot like Langland, this is one of those dead runs where you just wait. The forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a long wait for anything decent.
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.
