The Lowdown
Alright, let's get this out there. It’s Rusty here, and I've got to be straight with you – the next couple of weeks at Langland Point are looking like a proper test of patience. We've got a real dry spell on our hands for a while.
For the next week or more, the surf is going to be a write-off. We're looking at a lot of onshore and cross-shore winds, lumpy conditions, and weak, short-period swell. The energy is just all over the place, and it's not going to be worth getting too excited about. There's some cleaner moments coming in on the morning of Monday the 31st, with a 7ft W groundswell and a fresh NW cross-offshore breeze, but the comments call it marginal. It might be worth a look if you're desperate, but I wouldn't call it a standout.
The real problem is the wind. We're seeing a lot of cross-on and cross-shore winds, which just makes a mess of the Point. All this energy, like the 8ft W swell on Friday the 4th with a strong breeze, is just going to be blown to pieces. Even with that massive energy on the morning, it's going to be a washing machine.
The only real glimmer of hope comes almost two weeks from now, on the morning of Saturday the 5th of September. We should see a drop in wind to a light NW offshore breeze, and while the swell is smaller at 4ft, it's clean. The energy is down, which is weak, but it's really the only time in the whole window with clean, offshore conditions. It’s a tough call, but that Saturday morning is your best bet, and even then it's just ordinary.
After that, we're back into the small and messy stuff with tiny waves and light variable winds. There's a moment on the 8th with a light offshore and a 3ft WSW groundswell, but again, it's nothing to write home about.
The water temp is a huge story, though. It's currently 69°, which is a massive 8° warmer than the long-term average for this time of year. That's really unusual, so at least you won't need a thick suit when you're staring at the flatness.
Honestly, it looks better for a swim than a surf for most of this period, and the conditions are so messy that it might even be more fun for the kite surfers than us paddle guys. Hang tight, it won't stay bad forever.

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.
