The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get real about the next couple of weeks, because the swell window’s been on the fritz.
We’ve got a pretty grim run at first. From today, Sunday 23 August, all the way through to Friday 28 August, the surf is basically flat to ankle-biters with poor state. No standouts, just a whole lot of nothing. Swell heights barely crack 2ft, periods are short, and the wind keeps shifting to the cross or cross-on.
Now, Saturday 29 August is where something actually changes. Langland Point wakes up with a clean, solid 7ft to 7ft west groundswell. Period is 7 to 8 seconds – okay, not crazy long, but the energy is moderate-to-strong (435 to 504). The wind is cross-off from the west, so it’ll be clean. That’s the standout of the whole outlook. Keep in mind it’s pushing 7ft plus, so this is for your more experienced crew – maybe even heading towards expert territory. The optimum swell here is SW, but west is close enough, and it’s the best we’ve got. Just know crowds are sometimes a thing at this point.
Sunday 30 August is still rideable – clean in the morning with 4ft and moderate energy (211), but it drops off by afternoon. After that, it’s back to small, messy, or just plain flat through the end of the forecast. There’s a few glimpses of clean but tiny wave faces on 31 August and 5 September, but nothing to get excited about. September 1st morning shows 3ft with gentle cross-shore wind, but the energy is still only moderate (150) and the swell’s inconsistent.
Water temp is running *much* warmer than normal – about 69°F with a 8°F anomaly at the start. That’s unusual, really warm for late August.
Bottom line: your best bet is Saturday 29 August at Langland Point – that’s the one to circle on the calendar. Anything else in this stretch is a scratch around. If you’re a kite surfer, the bigger, windier afternoons on the 4th and 5th September might be worth a look, but for a paddle, hang tight for that Saturday.
