The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the menu for the next couple of weeks.
Overall, it's a pretty quiet period for the Gower. We've got a few days of nothing much at the start, then a short burst of bigger, more powerful swell around the 7th and 8th, but the wind and conditions are a real mixed bag. After that, it's mostly a long, flat slog with only tiny waves and clean but weak conditions. The real story is a couple of specific windows where it might just be worth getting wet.
Things start off flat. The first decent looking surf shows up on Monday morning, September 7th. Langland Point is seeing a swell of about 5 ft from the WSW, with a very long period of 14 seconds. That's a proper groundswell with some serious energy behind it (1242). The wind is a clean offshore from the WNW, which is a major positive. A long period swell like this, it's going to be lining up beautifully on this point, offering some nice, powerful waves. The downside is that this size could be a bit much for beginners, and the crowd is likely to be on it. This is a standout for the whole period.
The rest of the week is a bit of a write-off. The winds are strong and onshore, or the swell is dropping and messy. The water is currently a very warm 67°F, which is much warmer than usual for early September.
Tuesday morning, the 8th, still has a decent 5 ft swell from the WSW, but the period has dropped to 10 seconds, and the energy is still strong at 577. The wind is a clean cross-offshore, so it's still surfable, but it's not as clean as Monday. The afternoon sees the swell drop to 5 ft from the W, but with a shorter period and a fresh 19 mph cross-offshore wind. It's punchy, but you'll be fighting the wind.
We hit a long flat spell from the 10th through to the 16th. The swell is tiny, under 3 ft, and mostly from the WSW with period around 8 seconds. The energy is weak (combined energy is under 100). The winds are light or glassy, which is a tease – the water will be like a lake, but there's no power to surf. This is a solid week of waiting.
The next, and last, possible window looks like Thursday, September 17th. Langland Point gets a 5 ft swell from the W, but the period is a short 7 seconds. The wind is a cross-onshore from the ESE, making it choppy. It's not great, and the energy is moderate (320). Friday afternoon, the 18th, is a bit more interesting. The swell drops to 4 ft from the W, but it goes glassy. That's a clean, calm surface, but the waves are weak and small.
So, if you're picking a time to go, the clear standout is Monday morning, September 7th at Langland Point. The 5 ft groundswell with 14-second period and clean offshore wind is the best the next 16 days have to offer. The window on the 8th is a secondary option if you miss it, but it's not as clean. After that, it's a long wait for small, glassy, but ultimately weak surf.
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.
