The Lowdown

Alright, let’s get into it. The next couple of weeks at Langland Point are looking pretty grim for surfers. We’ve got a long stretch of small, weak, and messy conditions, with only a few fleeting moments of interest. The water is sitting at 70°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least you won’t need a thick wetsuit.

The first real chance of anything worth paddling out for doesn’t show up until the morning of Wednesday, August 26th. Even then, it’s marginal. Swell comes in at 3 ft from the WSW with a short period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy is only 101 – weak stuff. The wind is light from the SW, cross-on, so it’s not clean. It’s more of a “maybe get a few closeouts” kind of session.

The next day, Thursday August 27th, is a total write-off. The wind picks up and the swell drops away. Nothing doing.

Friday August 28th is similar – small, onshore, choppy. Not worth your time.

Actually, the standout of the whole forecast – if you can call it that – is the morning of Saturday August 29th. Swell bumps up to 4 ft from the WSW, period 7 seconds, with combined energy hitting 131. That’s still weak, but it’s the best we’ve got. The wind is SSW at 16 mph, cross-on, so it’s going to be a bit lumpy and choppy. Not classic Langland Point by any stretch, but if you’re desperate, there might be a few runners.

Sunday August 30th is a dud – small, messy, and windy.

Monday August 31st morning looks interesting but tricky. Swell is 5 ft from the WSW, period 9 seconds, and combined energy is 315 – moderate. The wind is NW at 16 mph, offshore, so the waves should be clean. That’s a decent setup for more experienced surfers, but it’s still a marginal call. The afternoon picks up to 6 ft from the W, period 10 seconds, and energy jumps to 627 – moderate-strong. But the wind is W at 19 mph, cross-off, so it’s going to be blown out and messy. Not a winner.

After that, the first week of September stays quiet. The morning of Wednesday September 2nd has 5 ft from the W, period 8 seconds, and energy of 255, with glassy conditions from a light S wind. That’s probably the most promising day in the whole outlook – clean, surfable waves, but nothing special. It’s the kind of session where you’ll get a few turns but won’t be telling stories about it.

The rest of the period is small, windy, or both. No real standouts, no big swells, no great wind. If you’re a beginner, the bigger days (over 5 ft) might be a bit much, but the conditions are so poor it doesn’t really matter. For experts, the 5 ft to 6 ft days with offshore wind could be worth a look, but the quality is low.

All in all, Langland Point is in a bit of a lull. The best bet is the morning of Monday August 31st or the morning of Wednesday September 2nd. Keep an eye on the forecast, but don’t get your hopes up.

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.
