The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – it’s a lean 16 days for Langland Bay. The whole stretch is a tough one to call. We’re looking at a long, quiet run with barely a ripple until the middle of the second week, so don’t hold your breath for any magic.
The first real whisper of hope is on August 15th, a Saturday morning. We’ve got a 2ft swell from the WSW, with a period of 8 seconds. The wind is a light breeze from the WNW, giving us a clean cross-off. The combined energy is only moderate (99). It’s surfable, but only just. With the wave energy being weak, don’t expect much push. The crowd situation is “often” here, so you might have company for these tiny scraps.
The afternoon of the 15th sees a bump to 4ft from the WSW, but the wind swings to a moderate cross-shore from the WSW, making it a messy, cross-chop situation. The energy jumps to moderate (146), but the conditions will be poor, so it’s not a winner.
The rest of the run is a write-off. The swell is tiny, under 2ft most days, with periods all over the place. You’ll get glassy mornings on the 7th, 8th, and 10th, but with zero swell, it’s just a flat lake. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing to write home about.
For a 16-day look, this is a tough pill to swallow. The only thing that might turn a wheel is that Saturday morning on the 15th, and even then, it’s a one-star day. The best advice I can give is to keep an eye on the forecast, because this blank run is more normal for the area than a consistent run of good waves. Don’t book the day off work just yet.
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.
