The Lowdown

Hey folks, Rusty here. Let's not beat around the bush: the next couple of weeks at Langland Point are mostly going to be a test of patience. There's a lot of small, weak surf and the wind is going to be a constant problem. But, there is a glimmer of hope way out there, so don't lose faith.

The long-range forecast is where the real promise lies. After a run of junk, a proper pulse of energy is showing up around the 17th. That’s a week and a half out, so don’t get too excited yet, but it's the only thing on the horizon that looks like it has any real potential.

For the next several days, it's pretty grim. The wave energy is weak, with combined readings often in the single or double digits (like 8, 10, 13), and the surf is small and messy. The water temp is 68°, which is a solid 7° warmer than it should be for this time of year. That's a big anomaly, so it's warm out there, but you'll be scratching for any kind of wave.

Tuesday the 4th has a little swell, but it's crossed up and junky. Wednesday the 5th looks a bit cleaner with a cross-offshore breeze, but the waves are still poor. The energy is moderate at best, with readings around 192 and 232, but the period is short and the surf is just not linking up. We're looking at a few days of shorebreak and closeouts.

The weekend is a complete loss. Saturday the 8th is dead flat, and Sunday isn't much better. There's a gap of several days here where you're better off finding something else to do. The wave energy drops right off, and the wind is all over the place.

We finally see a bit of a pulse start around the 13th and 14th. The energy starts to build – readings of 122 and 189 – and the waves get a little bigger, but the quality is still poor. It's not until the 15th that the energy really starts to kick in, with readings around 260 and 143. Still, the period is short, and the conditions are just ordinary.

Then, on Monday the 17th, things look like they might finally click. The morning shows a jump in swell to about 5 feet with a combined energy reading of 440 – that's the strongest signal we've seen all week. The wind is light and offshore, which is a huge plus. This is the standout. The swell direction is WSW, which is what Langland Point wants. It's a promising window, but it's a week and a half away, so treat it as a "maybe" for now. The period is only 8 seconds, so it's not a long-period groundswell, but it's got some push to it.

Stay patient out there. It's looking flat and messy for a while, but that pulse around the 17th could be worth the wait. This is Rusty, signing off.

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.
