The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Langland Point.
We’ve got a long forecast window here, 16 days, but don’t get your hopes up early on. This is a frustrating outlook for Langland Point. The first week is a real write-off. From the 30th of August right through to about the 10th of September, it’s just one thing after another – strong winds, messy conditions, and cross-onshore chop. The swell is around, but it’s been battered to bits. The combined swell energy is weak to moderate, with readings like 267, and it’s just not giving us anything clean. You’ll be sat there watching whitecaps. It’s an ugly run.
Now, there’s a brief glimmer on Monday morning, the 31st of August. Swell is up at 7ft from the WSW with a period of 10 seconds, and the wind turns cross-off from the WNW. The energy jumps to 698 (moderate). The waves will be clean, but the forecast says it’s a marginal one – tide might play tricks on you. Still, it’s the best of that first week. Then it falls apart again.
The real standout, the one you’ve been waiting for, is Friday the 11th of September. Finally. Morning is looking pristine. We’ve got a 7ft W groundswell rolling in, period a nice 9 seconds, and a light offshore wind out of the NW at just 15 km/h. The energy is pumping at 1127 – very strong. This is the call. For an intermediate surfer, that’s a solid, punchy wave with clean faces. The cross-off wind will hold it open. Because it's a point break, that long period will line up beautifully here. Afternoon gets a little busier wind-wise but still clean with moderate offshore conditions and a 6ft swell.
Then Saturday the 12th of September afternoon is a weird one. The swell drops slightly to 7ft from the WSW, but the wind goes glassy out of the east at just 5 km/h. It looks good on the surface, perfect conditions. The water temperature is about average for this time of year.
Keep in mind, Langland Point is fairly consistent, but the crowds do show up here sometimes. On a glassy day, it’ll be busy. If you’re a beginner, the Thursday morning on the 11th of September and the Saturday afternoon, those 7ft+ days are pushing the limit for entry-level stuff; it’s best for intermediates and above.
But honestly, if you only pick one session from this whole 16-day period, make it the morning of Friday the 11th of September.
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.
