The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a good look at what Langland Point has in store for us. It’s going to be a tough stretch, so don’t get your hopes up too early.

We’re looking at a long, quiet gap for the first week or so. The start of the period is a write-off with barely a ripple and cross-off or cross-on winds messing things up. You’re not missing a thing. The water is sitting at a very unusual 70°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year at Langland.

The first sign of life doesn’t show up until Saturday the 29th of August morning. The swell bumps up to 6 ft from the WSW, period is a short 6 seconds, and it’s dead glassy with no wind. The energy is weak at 249, and the comment says it’s surfable but very ordinary. Not a standout.

Things get a bit more interesting later that same afternoon, but it’s a mixed bag. The swell jumps to 10 ft from the WSW, with a 9-second period, but the wind is a fresh 22 mph cross-off. That’s a lot of power (1458 energy), but the conditions are marginal. That size is only for the experienced crew. Sunday the 30th morning sees a cleaner 8 ft swell from the WSW, period 9 seconds, energy at 919, with a moderate cross-off wind. It’s still in that marginal zone.

The best chance we get comes right at the very end of the forecast, on Friday the 4th of September. The morning brings a clean 5 ft swell from the WSW, period 8 seconds, with a light 9 mph offshore wind from the NNW. The energy is a solid 352 and it’s described as good surf conditions. That’s the pick of the litter. The afternoon holds up too, with a 6 ft swell from the WSW, period 8 seconds, and a 12 mph offshore wind from the NNW, energy hitting 460. Still good conditions. For Langland Point, which is a reliable point break that works best on a SW swell, this is the moment. The wind is perfect, the size is solid and surfable for intermediates and above, and the offshore flow will keep the faces clean. Crowds are possible here, but with conditions this good, it’s a risk worth taking.

So, to sum it up: don’t bother for the first week and a half. The only real window is the last couple of days, and Friday the 4th is your standout. Get out there if you can.

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.
