The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Langland Bay over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, the first week is a bit of a write-off. We’ve got a long stretch of tiny, weak waves and messy wind. From Friday the 24th of July right through to Sunday the 2nd of August, it’s all "poor surf conditions" – nothing worth getting wet for. The swell is small, mostly under 3 feet, and the wind is often cross or cross-onshore, chopping things up. The combined energy is weak, sitting at single or low double digits for most of that time. Sunday the 26th of July shows a bit of a pulse, with 4 to 4.5ft swell from the west and a cross-offshore breeze, and the energy climbs to 143 and 181, but it’s still not enough to shake the “poor” tag. It’s a frustrating start.
Then, on the morning of Monday the 3rd of August, we finally get a proper window. This is the standout. The wind is light from the WNW, blowing cross-offshore, and the swell is a solid 5ft from the WSW, with a period of 9 seconds. The combined energy is a solid 393 – that’s moderate and punchy. The conditions are clean. This is the best on offer. It’s not huge, but it’s clean, and the wind is right. Langland Bay faces a fair bit of swell, and the SW direction is in its sweet spot. For a Tuesday morning, it should be quiet enough. Crowds are possible here, but on a Monday morning with still-mediocre conditions, you might get a few more waves to yourself.
After that, the afternoon of the 3rd turns messy again with cross-shore wind, and the rest of the week is a mix of onshore slop and small swell. The next glimmer is on the morning of Thursday the 6th of August. A clean window again, with a 4ft swell from the SW, cross-offshore NW wind, and energy of 405. That’s a decent little combo, but it’s a one-off in a run of average days. After that, it fades back into tiny, weak surf through the 7th and 8th of August.
So, the call is simple: if you can only pick one session, make it the morning of Monday the 3rd of August. That’s your best bet. The morning of Thursday the 6th is a promising backup, but less certain this far out. The rest of the period is a waiting game.

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.
