Langland Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what Langland Point has in store for us over the next couple of weeks.

To be honest, the outlook starts off flat and grim. We’ve got a long stretch of nothing from the 24th of August right through until the morning of the 3rd of September. During that time, the swell is tiny, the period is short, and the wind is all over the shop. There's nothing worth paddling out for, so save your energy.

Things finally start to look up on the morning of Thursday the 3rd of September. That’s when we see a solid 6ft swell from the WSW with a 9-second period. The wind? Glassy, dead calm. The combined swell energy is strong at 827, a real sign of life. Langland Point handles a WSW best, and with the offshore direction being glassy, the waves should be clean and lined up. This is a genuine standout, but it’s a week and a half away, so keep your fingers crossed. The water temp has been much warmer than normal, which is a nice bonus if you’re getting in there.

The morning of Friday the 4th of September is also on the radar. We get a 7ft swell from the WSW, but the wind swings NW at 15 km/h – that’s offshore at Langland Point and should keep things tidy. The combined energy is strong at 371.

Then on Saturday the 5th of September, the morning shows 7ft from the WSW with a light NNW offshore breeze of 10 km/h. The swell energy is pumping at 645, and the wind is clean.

Now, the real big one comes on Monday the 7th of September. The morning brings a 13ft swell from the WSW with a solid 10-second period, and a NW offshore wind at 25 km/h. The combined energy is massive, 3746. That’s big, powerful, and clean for experienced surfers only. But the afternoon of that same day is a beast: 20ft swell from the WSW with a 16-second period (very long groundswell), and a NW offshore wind at 25 km/h. The energy reading is a staggering 17412. This is a massive, clean, groundswell. At a point break like Langland, it could be incredibly good for experts, but 20ft is huge - this is not a day for the faint of heart or anyone without serious experience. The very long period will also mean long waits between sets, easing the paddle out, but when they come, they’re going to be monsters. Again, we're talking more than a week out, so treat it as a promising but still uncertain call.

The 8th of September Tuesday morning shows a drop back to a still sizeable 8ft with a long 14-second period and a clean cross-offshore wind. Crowds at Langland Point can be busy sometimes, so on any of these good days, you might have company.

So to wrap it up, the first few days are a write-off, but the first week of September has the real goods. The standout is probably the glassy Thursday the 3rd for a clean session, but if you’re an expert, the afternoon of the 7th of September is a monster waiting to happen.

Stay stoked, Rusty.
