The Lowdown
Alright mate, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for the Langland Point area over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, the outlook is a bit of a bummer for the most part. We've got a long stretch of poor conditions ahead. The first decent chance doesn't show up until Friday morning, the 4th of September. Before that, we're looking at small, weak, or messy surf with a lot of wind across the board. The water is sitting at 69° F, which is a massive 8° warmer than usual for this time of year – that's really unusual, so you'll be in for a warm one if you do get in.
So, your best bet in this whole period is Friday morning, the 4th of September. Langland Point will see a 6 ft swell coming from the WSW with a period of 8 seconds. The wind will be from the WNW at 12 mph, making it a cross-offshore breeze, which will keep the surf clean. The combined wave energy is moderate at 679. It's a marginal forecast, but it's the best we've got. There's also a chance of crowds here, as it can get busy sometimes.
After that, the surf drops off again. Saturday the 5th of September has some tiny, glassy waves in the morning, with a 3 ft WSW swell and no wind at all. It's clean, but it's very small. After that, it's pretty much back to poor conditions through the second week, with a mix of strong onshore winds and tiny swells. There's a bit of a bump on Wednesday the 9th of September, with a 7 ft swell and strong offshore winds, but the wind is at 25 mph – that's a strong breeze, making it pretty wild out there, and the period is short at 7 seconds. Friday the 10th of September has a gale-force cross-shore wind, which is not going to be fun for paddling.
Overall, it's a tough run. If you're desperate, Friday morning the 4th is your window, but keep your expectations low. For the rest of the time, with the strong winds and messy conditions, this setup might be more interesting for the kite surfers than paddle surfers.
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.
