Langland Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming our way for Langland Point over the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – the first few days are a write-off. We’ve got some decent sized swell rolling in from the WSW on Friday the 4th, around 6 ft to 6 ft, but that 30 km/h wind from the west is just shredding it. The water’s sitting at a temperature that’s about average for this time of year, nothing out of the ordinary. It’s a no-go for a paddle. If you’re into kiting, that cross-off breeze and moderate wave energy (505) might look interesting, but for a surfboard? Forget it.

Saturday the 5th is a bit of a letdown. The swell drops right off to 3 ft, and while the wind eases to a light breeze, it’s still cross-off. The energy is weak (145), and the waves are just ordinary. Not worth getting wet for.

Sunday the 6th is even worse. The swell is tiny, down to 2 ft, and we’ve got a cross-on wind from the SE at 25 km/h. Just a messy, choppy day. Stay home.

Now, Monday the 7th is where things get interesting. That’s the standout. We’ve got a solid 6 ft groundswell from the WSW with a long period of 13 seconds. The energy is strong (1297), and the wind is a clean cross-off from the WNW. This is good, proper surf. The only thing is, with a period that long, the waves might be a bit too straight for a beach break, but Langland Point can handle it. Crowds are possible here, so get in early. The water temp is still average for the season. This is the one to circle.

Monday afternoon, the swell builds to 6 ft, but the wind swings cross-shore, putting a bit of a chop on it. Still good, but the morning is the call.

Tuesday the 8th is a bit of a beast. The swell is up to 7 ft to 8 ft from the W, but the period drops to 8 seconds, and that 30 km/h wind is back, making it a messy, blown-out affair. The energy is moderate (603), but the conditions are poor. This is for experts only, if anyone.

The rest of that week is a mixed bag. Wednesday the 9th is small and ordinary. Thursday the 10th shows a bit of a pulse at 6 ft from the WSW, but the wind is moderate and cross-off, making it only marginal. The energy is moderate (408). It’s a maybe, but not a standout.

Friday the 11th and Saturday the 12th are small and clean, but tiny. Sunday the 13th is totally flat. A real gap there.

Now, looking ahead to Monday the 14th, we’ve got another good pulse. A 7 ft to 8 ft swell from the WSW with a moderate period of 7-8 seconds. The wind is light and cross-off in the morning, and the energy is moderate (471). It’s called “expect good surf conditions,” so that’s promising. It’s a bit of a bigger swell, so keep that in mind if you’re a beginner. This is the second standout.

The rest of the second week is pretty small and ordinary. Tuesday the 15th is small, Wednesday the 16th is tiny and glassy, but the swell is too small to do anything with. Thursday the 17th shows a bit of a 2 ft swell with a long period of 11 seconds and clean offshore wind, but the energy is weak (82). It’s surfable, but don’t get your hopes up. The last few days are flat or tiny with onshore winds.

So, to wrap it up: Monday the 7th morning is the real standout – solid groundswell, clean wind, and real energy. Monday the 14th morning is your second-best bet, with a decent swell and light wind. The rest of the window is either small, windy, or both. Get out there on the 7th.

Rusty.
