Langland Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at the Langland Point forecast for the next couple of weeks.

Well, I gotta be straight with you – this isn’t a week for the quiver. The whole 16-day window is looking flat and pretty grim. We’ve got a long stretch of tiny, weak swells and the forecast is full of "poor surf conditions" across the board. The swell energy is barely a whisper, with values mostly in the single digits and low teens. Even the better days only show a combined energy of 106 (moderate) and 72 (moderate), which for a point like this isn't going to deliver much.

Starting off, Wednesday the 29th is a complete write-off with a tiny 1ft cross-on swell and a period of 5 seconds – that’s just wind slop. Thursday through the weekend is the same story: small, weak swells from the west and southwest, barely reaching 2ft. The water is a balmy 69°, which is 8° warmer than average for this time of year. That’s very unusual, but it’s not going to help the waves.

The first real glimmer, if you can call it that, shows up on Saturday afternoon, August 1st. We get a 2ft swell from the west with a 9-second period, and the combined energy climbs to 106. The wind is a moderate cross-offshore, so the surface will be clean. But it’s still small, and the energy is only moderate. That’s the best of a bad bunch.

After that, it’s back to small, weak, and often choppy or onshore conditions. There’s a brief moment on Sunday, August 9th, with a 3ft swell from the WSW and an 8-second period, giving a combined energy of 72. The wind is light onshore in the morning, but the afternoon sees a fresh cross-offshore breeze – clean but still small and weak.

The rest of the forecast is a flat, clean, but completely unsurfable stretch of tiny 0.3ft to 1.0ft waves. The wind is often offshore, but there’s just no swell to push it. The final week is a true desert, with energy dropping to 1 or 4. Nothing to get excited about.

So, the honest truth is: there’s no standout. The best session is probably Saturday afternoon, August 1st, at Langland Point – a 2ft, 9-second west swell with clean, cross-off winds. It’s small, but it’s the only time the energy reaches triple digits. It’s a consolation prize. For the rest of the stretch, save your petrol and check back next week.

Rusty.
