The Lowdown
Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Langland Point. I’ll be straight with ya—this forecast is a tough one. For the next week or so, it’s a whole lot of nothing special. We’ve got a run of poor surf conditions right through the end of August and into the start of September. The wind’s mostly howling from the WSW, gusting 18 to 19 mph, and it’s cross or cross-onshore, just chopping the place up. Swell’s there, around 4ft to 5ft, and we do get a bump up to 7ft on Monday the 31st of August morning, with a clean, cross-off wind from the WNW and a combined swell energy of (1351). That’s proper moderate-strong energy, but the wind’s a bit fresh at 19 mph, so while the sets will have some push, it ain’t gonna be perfect.
Water temp’s about average for the time of year here at Langland Point, so no surprises there.
That Monday morning window is the standout, but only just. The swell’s coming from the WSW, which is what this point likes, and the offshore direction (NNW) lines up pretty well. Still, for me, the real interest doesn’t kick in until the 4th of September Friday. We get a clean morning with a NW offshore breeze, 12 mph, and a 5ft swell from the WSW with 8-second period—not too long, not too short—and a moderate energy of (240). It’s surfable, but ordinary. Then Friday afternoon goes glassy near-calm with a cross-off and 4ft. Not a dream, but your best bet for a clean session.
After that, it drops right off again. There’s a bit of a swell pulse on the 6th of September Sunday afternoon, 6ft with a light offshore from the NNW, and it’s clean, but the period is short at 6 seconds, so the waves will be weak and crumbly. Then from the 9th of September, things get a bit wild—a 10ft swell on the 10th but with a near gale cross-shore wind, only for experts and that’s being kind. Honestly, it’s not a great run. If you’re a beginner, that 7ft on the 31st of August is a bit much, and anything over 8ft later on is for the hardcore only. The consistent pick? That Friday the 4th of September morning. It’s not a classic, but it’s the cleanest window we’ve got.
