The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it.
First up, let’s be honest, the start of this forecast is a bit of a letdown. The water is way warmer than usual for this time of year, about 69°F and a massive anomaly of 8°F warmer than normal – that’s very unusual. But the surf? Not great.
We’ve got a solid swell filling in on Monday the 31st of August, with waves around 6 ft to 6 ft from the WSW, period around 9-10 seconds, and the combined energy is moderate (around 550-650). The wind is cross-offshore from the WNW, so the wave faces will be clean, but the reports are calling it poor surf conditions. It’s a bit of a tease.
Tuesday through the weekend, the swell drops right off. Tuesday morning you’re looking at a tiny 2 ft, and it stays small, under 3 ft, for days. The wind is cross or cross-on, so it’s not clean, and the energy is weak (values under 100). Honestly, there’s nothing to get excited about here.
Now, the one real standout in this whole 16-day window is Langland Point itself. Look at the morning of the 8th of September, Tuesday. We’ve got a 4 ft swell from the west, period of 11 seconds – that’s a proper groundswell, with good energy behind it (326). But the real magic is the wind: just 3 mph from the west, a slight air, cross-offshore. That’s going to be glassy, clean, and the point will handle that long period nicely. The best session of the whole run. It’s still a week away, so keep an eye on it, but that’s the one to mark in the calendar.
After that, the swell fades again. The 14th and 15th of September see a building swell, up to 8 ft, but the wind is howling from the WSW at 25-28 mph, cross-shore, and it’s a mess. The energy is strong (over 900), but those are just blown-out, choppy conditions. Not for paddling, that’s more kite-surfing territory.
So, overall, there’s a long gap of poor surf from Tuesday the 1st right through to the 7th. Then one clean morning on the 8th, and then back to windy, lumpy stuff. Not a classic run, but that Tuesday the 8th is a genuine window for a clean session.
