The Lowdown
Alright folks, let's have it straight. The next couple of weeks are looking pretty grim for a proper surf. We've got a long stretch of small, weak, and messy waves before anything close to worth paddling out for shows up. The first few days are a total loss, with hardly any swell at all. The wave energy is just a whisper, mostly in the single digits and low tens. You'd be better off doing literally anything else.
The first real chance of a wave comes on Thursday, August 13th. Langland Point (Wales) wakes up a bit with some surfable, but very ordinary, conditions in the morning. We're looking at a tiny 3ft of swell from the WSW, with a period of 11 seconds. The energy is up to 177, which is the strongest we'll see for a while, but it's still on the weak side. The wind is light and glassy though, which is the one saving grace. It'll be clean, but you'll be scratching around for anything with a pulse. The water temp is pretty average for this time of year, so nothing out of the ordinary there.
After that little blip, it fades back out again. The rest of the week and the following one are a desert of sub-3ft dribble. There's a lot of poor surf conditions and minimal energy, with the wind mostly onshore or cross-shore, chopping up whatever tiny bumps might be there. The period creeps up a few times, hitting 10-11 seconds on the 20th and 21st, but there's just no size behind it to make anything of it. It’s a frustrating run.
Honestly, the whole 16-day window is a struggle. The only thing that’s even remotely close to a standout is that Thursday morning the 13th, and that’s only because it’s the least bad option. It will be small, but at least it’s clean and glassy with a hint more energy behind it. For a more experienced surfer on a longboard, there might be a couple of fun little runners, but it’s not for the faint of heart or the beginner. Just don't expect much.
The rest of the time, the waves are too small and weak to be any fun for anyone. There are fairly consistent periods of clean-looking conditions, but it's a classic case of "no swell, no party." It’s a grim outlook, but that’s the coast for you. It won’t stay this flat forever, and the charts can change. But for now, keep the board in the car and the wax in the wrapper.
