The Lowdown
Alright, let me tell you what I'm seeing for Langland Point. Honestly, it's a bit of a grim picture for the next couple of weeks. We've got a real flat spell on our hands, and it's going to take a while for any decent energy to show up.
Right off the bat, from Saturday the 8th all the way through to the morning of Wednesday the 19th, it's pretty much a write-off. We're talking tiny, weak waves – nothing over about 4ft, and most of it is below 2ft. The combined swell energy is just pitiful, barely scratching into double digits for most of that stretch. You'll see a few days with a light offshore or clean wind, like Monday the 10th morning with that NNW breeze, but there's just no swell to work with. It’s frustrating, because the conditions look tidy, but there's nothing to ride.
The water at Langland Point is running at 69°, which is a massive 8° warmer than usual for this time of year. That's really unusual, almost like a warm bath.
The only glimmer of hope comes in the second week. On the morning of Thursday the 20th, we finally get a pulse of swell that’s surfable, but just barely. The waves will be around 4ft from the W, with a combined energy of 143. The wind is light and offshore from the NW, so the surface should be clean. It’s small, but it’s the only window where you can actually get a wave. After that, it drops back off into tiny dribble for the rest of the period.
So, the one and only standout is Thursday the 20th morning. If you’re desperate for a paddle, that’s your moment. It’s not going to be epic, but it’s all we’ve got. Crowds are possible there, so you won't be alone.
Forget the rest of the month until then. It’s a long, flat stretch.

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.
