The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let's break down the local surf situation.
First off, I gotta be honest, the next week or so is pretty grim. From Saturday the 18th through to Sunday the 26th of July, we're looking at tiny, gutless waves, barely 1 feet. The water is a weirdly warm 69°, way hotter than normal for this time of year, but that's the only highlight. With the combined swell energy barely hitting double digits (2 to 10 range), there's just no power. It's a real downer, but things can't stay this flat forever.
Things finally start to stir around Monday the 27th of July. We get a pulse of swell, about 5 feet from the WSW, with a short period of 6 seconds. The energy bumps up to 150 (moderate), but it's still not great. The wind is cross-off from the W at 12 mph, keeping the surface clean, but the wave quality is poor. By Tuesday the 28th of July morning, we see 4 feet from the W with a 7-second period, and the energy hits 242 (moderate). The wind turns offshore from the NNW at 6 mph, making for clean conditions. The report says "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions" – it's a start, but nothing special.
The best looking window, if you can call it that, is Friday the 31st of July morning. The swell picks up to 6 feet from the W with an 8-second period, and the combined energy is 367 (moderate). The wind is light from the WSW at 6 mph, so just a light cross-shore. It's still called "marginal", but it's the most size and energy we see all forecast.
For the pick of the lot, I'd point you to Langland Point. It's a point break, set up for a SW swell, which is the direction we're getting. On Friday the 31st of July morning, you'll have 6 feet from the W with that light cross-shore wind. It's not huge, but it's the most consistent energy we've got. Just a heads up, crowds are possible here, so be ready for company. After that, it drops off again into the first days of August with weaker, lumpy conditions.
So, summary: a long, flat spell until the 27th, then a slow rise to a so-so peak on the 31st. The best is only average, but that's the story.
Rusty.

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.
