The Lowdown
Right then, folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough watch for Langland Point. We’re staring down a full 16-day window, and I’ve got to be honest, there’s a proper dry spell at the start. The first time we even get a whisper of a recommendation isn’t until Wednesday the 16th, and even then, it’s only a marginal call. That’s a long gap of quiet days early on.
Look, the water’s warm, sitting at 66°F, which is a massive 6°F warmer than usual for this time of year. That’s very unusual, a proper tropical feel for Gower. But the waves just aren’t cooperating.
The first hint of something on Wednesday the 16th morning gives us a 4ft swell from the West with a period of 9 seconds. The wind is a moderate breeze from the NW, a cross-offshore that keeps things clean. Combined energy is moderate (270). The score is a low one, and it’s labelled as marginal, so don’t get your hopes up. The afternoon drops right off.
Thursday the 17th morning is similar: 5ft from the West, 6-second period – that’s a short, weak windswell. The energy is moderate (170), and while the NW wind keeps it cross-off and clean, it’s just not got the grunt.
The next real something is on Saturday the 19th during the morning. We get a 6ft swell from the WSW, period of 8 seconds. Combined energy jumps to 478 (moderate), pushed by a fresh cross-offshore breeze from the West. It’s clean, but the swell’s a bit of a lumpy windswell, and it’s not rating well. Not a day to get excited about.
The biggest headline is Sunday the 20th afternoon. That’s a 10ft swell from the WSW, with an 8-second period. The combined energy rockets to a strong 1141, so there’s plenty of water moving. The wind is fresh and cross-offshore from the West, so it’ll look clean. But at 10ft, that’s expert territory. It’s raw, heavy, and for a point break, that’s a serious paddle. Only for the brave lads on the step-up boards.
Monday the 21st morning rolls in with a 7ft West swell, 8-second period, and moderate energy (739). Cross-offshore breeze from the West keeps it clean. This is rated as marginal, a 2 out of 10, so it’s the most promising looking session in the whole run, but still not a classic. It’s just about big enough to have some fun on, but the quality report is poor.
After that, it’s more of the same until we hit the very end. The standouts? There aren’t any proper ones. If I had to pick, that Monday the 21st morning is your best bet for a surf, but it’s a long way from perfect. The wind will be clean, which is a huge positive for a spot like this, but the periods are short and the quality is just not there. For the rest of the window, the wind is often cross-off or offshore, keeping the surface clean, but the swell is too weak, too short-period, or just too sloppy. We get a few bigger pulses, but they come with ripping wind or poor conditions.
Honestly, for the next two weeks, Langland Point looks more like a spot for a windy walk than a proper surf. It’s a blank run that’s normal for this setup when the Atlantic doesn’t line up. The forecasts can change, but right now? Don’t hold your breath.
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.
