The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Langland Bay.
Honestly, I’ve gotta level with you – this 16-day stretch looks like a total write-off for any proper surf. We’re looking at a solid two-week gap with absolutely nothing worth paddling out for. The whole forecast is filled with “poor surf conditions,” and the scores reflect that. The first day we see any real swell energy is on the 3rd of August, but even then it’s weak. So, we’re talking about a big, boring gap from now until at least the middle of the first week of August.
The only glimmer of something, and I mean a tiny glimmer, comes on the afternoon of Wednesday the 12th of August. We’ve got a bit of a pulse showing up with a 3ft swell from the W, a period of 5 seconds – so that’s real short-period, windswell stuff. It’s not going to be pretty. The combined energy is just 41 (weak), and the wind is cross-offshore from the W at 15 mph, which will keep the surface clean. But don’t get excited. The wave height is tiny, the period is short, and this is a fairly exposed beach. For a beginner, anything over 5ft is too big, but this is well under. For an expert, you need over 8ft, so this is nothing. It’s just not going to hold any shape.
The water temperature on the first morning (30th July) is sitting at 69°F with a massive anomaly of 9°F warmer than normal. That’s very unusual for this time of year, so the water is going to feel like a bath.
The whole setup is so weak and messy for the entire period, with the wind often cross or onshore, that this is more of a kite-surfing window than a paddle-surfing one. Don’t hold your breath for any standouts.
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.
