The Lowdown

Alright, folks, it’s Rusty. Let’s dig into this one. We’re looking at Langland Bay, and I’ll be honest with you – the next week and a half is a rough stretch for anyone looking for a proper wave. There’s a lot of waiting, but there’s a real payoff if you’re patient.

The early part of the run is a total washout. From Saturday the 8th right through to the 12th, we’re dealing with tiny, gutless surf. The swell is hanging around 0.3ft to 2ft, and the energy is weak (2-80). Winds are messy, swinging from cross-on to cross-shore, and it’s just not doing anything for the banks. You’d be better off cleaning the wax off your board. This is a real dry spell.

Then we creep into a bit of a lull. Thursday the 13th morning shows a slight pulse – 3ft from the WSW with a 9-second period – and the conditions go glassy with a slight air. The energy climbs to 112 (moderate). It’s surfable, but it’s ordinary. Still, that glassy window is a rare treat, so if you’re desperate for a longboard session and a few ankle-biters, you could get wet. Later that day and through Friday the 14th, the wind turns cross-off and clean, but the swell drops back down. It’s clean but small.

The real standout, the one you’ve been waiting for, is Tuesday the 18th of August. This is the highlight. Tuesday morning brings a solid 6ft of swell from the WSW, with a period of 8 seconds. The energy is pumping at 390 (strong). The wind is light from the NW, so it’s a cross-off, and the forecast is for clean surf. Conditions are dialled. 6ft is a fun size – it’s got some push for the intermediate crowd, but it’s not going to detonate you. The only thing to keep in mind is that with a shorter period (8 seconds), the sets will be a bit more frequent and less walled-up than a groundswell. It’s a beach break setup, so expect some shifting peaks. The afternoon stays clean with a moderate cross-off, though the energy stays high. This is your window. Don’t sleep on it.

The rest of the second week fades out. Wednesday the 19th drops back to 2ft, and by the 20th we’re back to glassy mornings but with barely a ripple. The 21st and 22nd see a bump of 4ft to 5ft, but the wind is junk – cross to onshore – and the quality is poor. It’s not worth paddling out for.

So, bottom line: skip the next ten days, and mark your calendar for Tuesday the 18th. That’s the one. Langland Bay will be clean, chunky, and fun. Don’t expect a crowd-free session – it’s often busy here – but the conditions will be worth sharing the water for.

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.
