The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s look at what’s brewing for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I gotta be straight with you – the forecast is pretty grim for Langland Point. We’re looking at a long stretch of poor conditions, with no real surf to speak of for the first week and a half. The water is sitting at a very unusual 68°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only bright spot.
We kick off on Tuesday the 4th with a weak, short-period 4ft WSW swell, but a cross-on SW wind at 12 mph is gonna chop it up into a mess. That’s a no-go. Wednesday the 5th actually sees a bit more energy – a 5ft WSW swell and a combined energy of 261 (moderate) – and the wind switches to a clean cross-off W at 19 mph. The waves will be clean, but the quality is still rated as poor, so it’s probably not worth the paddle. Thursday the 6th through to Tuesday the 12th is a dead zone. Swell drops to nothing, with tiny waves and mostly onshore or cross-shore winds. It’s just flat and ugly.
The first real glimmer of hope shows up on Thursday the 13th of August. The morning brings a glassy start with 4ft of WSW swell, 8-second period, and a combined energy of 181 (moderate). The conditions are described as "surfable but very ordinary," which is better than anything else we’ve seen. The wind is light and glassy, so it’ll be clean. However, the afternoon turns messy with a cross-shore breeze, so the morning window is the only chance. The swells are short period, so it won’t have much punch, but it might be the best we get.
Friday the 14th morning has a fresh offshore NNW wind at 19 mph, cleaning up a 3ft WSW swell, but it’s small and weak. Then Saturday the 15th morning, with a gentle offshore NW wind, could be a better bet. The swell is back up to 4ft with an 8-second period and moderate energy. It’s still "surfable but very ordinary," but with offshore winds, it’ll be the cleanest of the lot. After that, the swell fades away again into the following week.
So, as a standout, I’d say your best bet is the morning of Thursday the 13th for the glassy clean conditions, or Saturday the 15th morning for the combo of a little more size and clean offshore wind. Both are mediocre, but that’s the hand we’ve been dealt. Don’t expect much crowd because there’s not much to get excited about.
This is Rusty, signing off. Stay patient.

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.
