The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with the long-range look for Langland Point.
First thing you gotta know, we’re in for a rough start. The ocean’s just not playing ball for the next week. The water is sitting at 68° right now, which is a solid 7° warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s very unusual, definitely feels more like a tropical lagoon than a point break. But the waves? Almost non-existent. We’re looking at tiny, weak swells with poor wind conditions hanging around until we get into the second week of August.
Honestly, for the first several days, there’s nothing to get excited about. The swell is tiny, the winds are messy, and the wave energy is in the low double digits. It’s a write-off until we get past the first week.
The first real glimmer of hope comes on Saturday, August 8th. The morning session is looking alright. We’ll have a 5ft swell from the WSW with a clean cross-offshore breeze from the WNW. The combined energy is moderate at 286, and with light winds, it’ll be a clean, workable wave. It’s not a standout, but it’s the first decent window we’ve seen.
Then we hit another quiet patch. A few days of small, clean swell but nothing with any real push or energy.
The real standout for the entire forecast window is Sunday, August 16th – the morning session. This is the one to circle on your calendar. We’re looking at a 5ft swell from the WSW with a clean, cross-offshore breeze from the NW. The combined energy hits 543, which is a strong push of water. The swell period is 8 seconds, so it’s a short-period wind swell, but it’ll have plenty of power. This is the best chance for a proper session with clean conditions and decent size. It’s a week and a half out, so keep an eye on it, but it’s the closest thing to a winner we’ve got.
The surf picks up again on the 17th, but it’s smaller and not as clean. So, to sum it up: a long, flat start, a brief window on the 8th, and then a promising morning on the 16th of August. That’s your best bet.
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).
