The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the table for the next couple of weeks.
Straight up, I gotta be honest with you – the outlook for the next 16 days is a tough one. It’s a long stretch of flat, poor conditions with no real standouts. The first record of surf doesn't appear until Thursday the 30th of July, and that’s a bit of a tease. From the 30th right through until the 14th of August, every single session is marked as poor surf conditions. You’re looking at a solid two-week gap without a single decent recommendation. It’s one of those periods where the ocean just seems to be asleep.
The only spot we’ve got on the radar is Langland Point. It’s a fairly consistent point break, but the swell energy is just not there. From Thursday morning the 30th, we’re looking at a tiny 2ft swell from the west, with a short period of 5 seconds. The combined energy is a weak 27 – barely a ripple. The water is a balmy 69°, which is a massive 9° warmer than normal for this time of year, so that’s very unusual. The wind is a cross-off 9 mph from the NW, which keeps the surface clean, but there’s just no power in the water to push a wave.
The rest of the 16 days is more of the same. We see a little bump on Saturday the 1st of August, with the combined energy climbing to 100 in the afternoon – that’s the low end of moderate – but it’s still a weak 2ft from the WSW at 9 seconds. The wind is a moderate cross-off, so it’s clean, but the waves are tiny and weak. That’s as good as it gets, and it’s still not worth paddling out for.
We get a brief moment of glassy conditions on Sunday the 2nd of August in the afternoon, with a slight air from the WNW, but the swell is a pathetic 1ft. It’s pretty, but you’d be floating.
There’s a slight uptick in size on Monday the 10th of August, with a 3ft swell from the WSW, period of 7 seconds, and combined energy of 108. That’s a moderate energy, but it's still a poor surf conditions label, and the wind is onshore from the south at 6 mph. It’s just not coming together.
For a point break like Langland Point, you need a decent swell from the optimum SW direction to get the lines running. The swell we get is mostly from the W or WSW, which is okay, but the size is just too small. The short, weak periods mean the waves are crumbly and lack shape. If you’re a beginner, the size is safe, but it’s not really surfable.
This is a classic case of a blank run. In this area, when the swell is this quiet for this long, it’s not unusual. The forecasts can change, but for now, the best advice is to leave the board in the car and enjoy the warm water anomaly for a swim, because there’s nothing to ride.

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.
Langland Point is 9 km (6 miles) from Swansea. If you plan a holiday in Wales - Gower, look for hotels and other accommodation in Swansea. Swansea has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
