Table - best surf conditions forecast for Langland Bay over the next 16 days.
Alright, my fellow wave hunters, Rusty here with the lowdown. I've been staring at the maps for the next couple of weeks, and I gotta tell you, it's looking bleak for Langland Bay. We're in for a proper dry spell, where the ocean just doesn't want to play ball. The water temperature is about what you'd expect for this time of year, nothing special.
From this Thursday, July 9th, all the way through to July 23rd, it's a marathon of flatness. The forecast is filled with "poor surf conditions" for days on end. The combined wave energy is pathetic, usually stuck below 30 units. We're talking about 0.3ft to 1ft ripples that have no power. The winds are a mixed bag, with plenty of cross and cross-on breezes messing up the surface. Yeah, there's a few moments of glass or offshore wind, but with zero swell to work with, it's just a mirror. For a spot that's fairly exposed to the southwest, seeing nothing but tiny west-northwest windswell with a 7-10 second period is a tough pill to swallow.
Then, on Friday, July 24th, we finally see a flicker of hope. A 4ft swell from the west shows up, with a 6 second period. The combined energy gets up to 95, which is still weak, but it's the biggest thing we've seen. The wind is light from the WSW, so it's a cross-shore, nothing special. The conditions are still flagged as poor, so don't expect a picture-perfect day. It's a small glimmer, but it's a long way off and not a sure thing.
So, the bottom line? There's nothing to recommend in this 16-day window. The only real standout, and I use that word carefully, is that tiny bump on the 24th. The rest of the time, the board stays on the rack. The setup is just too flat, for too long. If you're desperate, bring a longboard and a prayer. This spot is usually fairly consistent, so this kind of blank run is a real bummer, but you never know when the forecast might flip.
Signing off, Rusty.

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.
