The Lowdown
Alright, let's talk about Langland Bay in the real units.
It's looking lean, to say the least. The whole 16-day stretch is threadbare, but there are a couple of tiny windows to keep an eye on.
Your best bet is Thursday, August 13th, in the morning. We're looking at a clean 3-foot swell from the WSW, with a glassy calm wind from the NNW. The energy's moderate at 152, but that wind is the key—it's gonna be about as clean as it gets. It's small, friendly, and the water temp is about what you'd expect for this time of year.
Then, if you're willing to wait, there's a whisper about Tuesday, August 25th. This is a long shot, but the numbers look interesting. A 4-foot swell from the WSW with a big jump in energy to 207, and a flat, glassy wind. If it holds, that's your session. But it's way out, so keep an eye on it.
For the rest of the days, it's mostly ankle-biters or blown-out slop. Gaps between any decent surf are days long. The place has its moments, and it won't stay flat forever, but for now, get the Thursday glass-off while it's there.

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.
