The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at the next couple of weeks for Langland Point.
Well, the honest truth is it’s a rough run. We’re looking at a long, frustrating stretch of small, weak, and windy conditions. For the first week and a half, the swell energy is just pathetic — we’re seeing combined energies of 34, 12, 28… honestly, numbers that wouldn’t push a sea duck across a pond. The water is a toasty 70°, which is a whopping 9° warmer than usual for this time of year, so the sea feels like a bath, but there’s nothing to surf on.
Monday the 17th through to Saturday the 29th of August is a write-off. The fetch is coming mostly from the W and WSW, but the period is short — mostly 6 to 8 seconds — and the wind is nearly always cross or cross-off and fresh. It’s just messy or tiny. Even the few glassy moments on the 21st, 24th, and 25th are on swell of 2ft or less. There’s nothing to get excited about.
Now, there is a potential glimmer way out in the second week. On Sunday the 30th of August morning, we see a bit of life. The swell lifts to 5ft from the WSW at 7 seconds, and the combined energy jumps to 397 — moderate, which is a step up. The wind is a light offshore cross-off from the WNW at only 6 mph. That’s where you want to be. It’s not perfect, but after two weeks of nothing, a clean 5ft day with light wind is your only real window.
Monday the 31st of August pushes a bit of size too, with 5ft to 5ft from the WSW and energy hitting 476 to 650… but the wind is a fresh 19 mph cross-off, which will blow the surface out. It’s more of a windswell day; for the experts only if you want to wrestle that chop.
If I’m being straight with you, and I always am, the one standout in this whole 16-day outlook is Sunday the 30th of August morning. The rest of the time, you’re better off waxing your board for next month.
Rusty.

Information about the Langland Point Surf forecast

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.
