The Lowdown
Right then, let's have a look at what's cookin' at Langland Point.
It’s a bit of a slow start, to be honest. For the next several days, we’re looking at tiny, weak waves. The combined swell energy is down in the dumps, barely hitting double digits for most of it. A real shame, because the water is way warmer than usual for this time of year, sittin’ at a balmy 68°.
The first proper sniff of anything worthwhile doesn't come until Thursday the 13th of August. The morning session is the pick, with a glassy surface and a little 3ft swell from the WSW. The energy picks up to a moderate 147, but these are still just ordinary, surfable waves. Nothing to write home about, but you could get a few fun ones if you’re desperate.
Friday the 14th is similar, with the morning offering 2ft from the WSW under a clean cross-off breeze, but the energy drops back to 84. Again, just ordinary.
Now, we skip forward a bit. Tuesday the 18th of August shows a bit more promise. The morning brings a 4ft swell from the west with a clean cross-off wind. The energy is a solid 135, but the period is a short 7 seconds, so it’ll be a bit lumpy and crumbly. Still, it’s the best looking day in the whole run, with the biggest waves. Not for beginners, but a decent longboard or a fun grovel board could have a ball.
After that, it fades right off again into tiny, long-period leftovers and choppy onshore junk through to the end of the outlook. The highlight here is that Tuesday morning on the 18th, but even that’s just a "it’s the best of a quiet bunch" kind of day. Keep your expectations low and you might have a laugh.

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.
