The Lowdown

Right, let’s be honest with you. The next couple of weeks are going to test your patience if you’re chasing waves. We’re looking at a long, flat stretch with not much on the menu, but there are a couple of blips that might just get you out of the house.

The water is absolutely roasting though, sitting at 69°F, which is a good seven degrees warmer than you’d expect for this time of year. That’s a real treat to paddle around in, even if the surf is lacking.

For the first week or so, it’s a write-off. We’re talking days of tiny, weak slop with cross-onshore breezes messing up what little is there. The energy is pathetic, with readings down in the single digits and teens (6-15). You’ll see the swell direction hanging in the west, but with period around 9 seconds and bugger all height, it’s just not doing anything. Saturday the 15th and Sunday the 16th are prime examples of nothing happening, with barely a ripple.

Then we get a bit of a pulse around Thursday the 13th into Friday the 14th. It’s still small, but the conditions turn clean. Thursday morning is your first real glimmer: 3ft of west-southwest swell with a light offshore west wind and clean conditions. The energy is starting to build (84), and it’s surfable. Friday morning is similar, 2ft, with a bit more push behind it (88), and that northwest offshore wind is going to make it glassy. Langland Point (Gower) is the spot, and it’s a point break, so it can handle a bit of direction. It’s not going to be epic, but it’s the best on offer. After that, it fades back into nothing for the next stretch.

Now, for the true standout. Look ahead to Thursday the 21st of August. The forecast is showing a proper swell finally arriving, a solid 6ft from the west. The energy readings are through the roof, hitting 332, which is a strong pulse. This is a big step up from the dribble we’ve seen. But, and it’s a big but, the wind is forecast to be a cross-onshore from the southwest. That’s going to put a bit of chop on it and take the shine off. It’s a long way out, so this is one to keep an eye on, but it’s got the potential to be the best size we see. The period is a short 8 seconds, which is a wind swell, so it might be a bit lumpy and not as clean as a proper groundswell, and it will be closing out a bit. If that wind does swing more offshore, this could be a real sneaky one. For now, consider it a promising but uncertain prospect.

Honestly, the 21st is the only day with any real size. It might be a bit of a handful, and for the less experienced, that 6ft might be a bit much, but for the rest of you, it’s the one to pencil in tentatively.

So, there you have it. A long flat spell, one clean but small window mid-week, and one bigger, wind-affected pulse further out. Keep the faith, check the forecast closer to the time, and don’t bother paddling out for the ankle-biters.

Information about the Langland Point Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for Langland Point provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Langland Point can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Langland Point 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 Point) 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 Point 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.
