The Lowdown
Alright, grab a seat. It’s Rusty here, and I’ve been staring at the charts for Langland Point all morning. Let’s be honest, it’s been a bit of a flat spell, but there are a couple of days that are gonna get the heart pumping.
Right off the bat, the water is sitting at 70°, which is a solid 8° warmer than normal for this time of year. That’s a massive anomaly, so you can leave the thick rubber at home. It’s going to feel like a warm bath out there.
The next week to ten days are pretty grim. We’ve got a lot of small, weak swell with poor energy. You’ll see a bit of a pulse on Thursday the 20th, with a wave height of 5ft but a short 7-second period. The energy is moderate at 374, but it’s just not organized enough. The wind is cross-offshore, but the swell quality is marginal, so I wouldn’t be rushing out for that. There’s a brief glassy window on Friday morning, but the swell has dropped to 2ft, hardly worth the paddle. This quiet, poor stretch is going to run right through to the end of the month, with most days showing less than 3ft and weak energy readings.
Now, let’s fast forward to the end of the month. The 29th of August, a Saturday, is the one to circle. We’ve got a fresh pulse of swell pushing 5ft from the WSW. The period is still a short 8 seconds, but the combined energy jumps to 439, which is the strongest reading in the whole window. The wind is a clean cross-offshore, so it should keep the faces tidy. It’s not a monster, but after this long flat spell, it’s going to feel like a proper session. It's a far cry from perfect, but it's our best shot.
The following week starts off with a similar story. The 31st of August keeps the size up around 5-6ft, but it’s crossed up with a moderate cross-shore wind, which will make it lumpy and hard to ride. The energy is still moderate, but it's not clean. We then roll into September with 5ft of swell, but the winds turn onshore for Tuesday and Wednesday, which will chop it right up.
So, my take? The standout is definitely the morning of Saturday, the 29th of August. It’s not perfect, but it’s the most energy we’re gonna see, and the conditions look the best it’s going to get. It's a bit of a wait, but patience is a virtue. For the rest of the time, it’s a lot of small, messy, or wind-affected waves. Keep the board handy, but don’t get your hopes up for anything else. This is one for the dedicated crew.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
