The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s on the menu for the next couple of weeks down at Langland Point. It’s a bit of a mixed bag, so let’s not waste any time.

The window opens up nicely on Thursday, the 13th of August. After a flat and choppy start to the forecast period, we’ve got a bit of life filtering in. That morning, we’re looking at a small 3ft swell from the WSW, with a period of 10 seconds. The wind will be a light W cross-off, which will keep the surface clean. The combined wave energy is moderate (149), so there’s enough juice to have some fun. It’s not going to set the world on fire, but it’s a solid, surfable wave for an intermediate. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, nothing wild to report there.

Friday morning, the 14th, offers a similar story. Swell drops a touch to 2ft, still from the WSW, with a period of 9 seconds. The wind swings to a light WNW cross-off, keeping it clean. The energy is a bit lower (84), so it’ll be smaller and a little more delicate, but still a good option for a cruise. Just be aware, Langland Point can get a few folks out there, so expect some company.

The real standout, and the one worth circling on the calendar, is Thursday, the 20th of August. We get a proper pulse of swell. The morning brings a 6ft swell from the west, with a 8-second period. The wind is a fresh NW cross-off, which should keep it reasonably clean. By the afternoon, it’s a 5ft swell from the WNW, with a 7-second period, and the wind goes fully offshore from the NW. The combined energy jumps to 418 in the morning and 276 in the afternoon. This is the most powerful window we’ve got. It’s a solid, punchy wave. For the more experienced crew, this is the best session on offer. The cloud cover and a touch of light rain won’t spoil the fun.

There is also a notable spike on the 27th of August, but it comes with a strong WSW wind and a lumpy cross-chop. The 7ft swell (8 seconds) has a massive 602 energy reading, but the conditions are poor. It’s a messy, powerful wall of water that’s more for the experts only, and even then, it’s going to be a battle. The wind is just too strong for a clean paddle.

Honestly, outside of that Thursday the 20th window, the rest of the 16-day run is a bit of a write-off. There are long gaps of flat, choppy, or just plain messy conditions. It’s a pattern that will test your patience. But if you’re keen, Thursday the 20th is the one to aim for.

Stay frothy,
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.
