The Lowdown
Alright, I’ve looked over what’s on the menu for Langland Point over the next couple of weeks. I’ll be honest – it’s a tough outlook. The first real surfable window doesn’t show up until the end of August, and before that, it’s mostly flat, choppy, or blown out. There’s a big dry spell at the start.
Right now, starting on the 19th of August, the water temperature is 70°, which is about 9° warmer than usual for this time of year. That’s a very unusual anomaly – the water is feeling like a warm bath.
The first glimmer of hope comes on the 28th of August, Friday morning. A small WSW swell at 3 ft, with a period of 6 seconds – short, weak, and pretty ordinary. The wind is offshore from the NNW, giving us clean, glassy conditions. The combined energy is only 96 (weak). The report says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions,” which is about as good as it gets. This is the standout because it’s the only decent window.
The 29th of August Saturday morning and afternoon offer clean cross-off winds, but the swell drops to 3 ft and 2 ft, with 7-second periods and energy in the 82–100 range. Rideable, but nothing special.
The 31st of August Monday morning shows a bump in energy to 186 (moderate) with a 4 ft WSW swell, but the wind is cross-on from the south, bringing light cross-onshore ripples. Not great.
The 1st of September Tuesday morning has a 4 ft WSW swell with 7-second period and energy at 282 (moderate), but cross-shore wind with slight chop. The afternoon jumps to 5 ft with a cross-off breeze from the west, but the period stays short at 7 seconds – clean, but lacking shape.
The best bet is the 28th of August Friday morning. It’s not a classic, but it’s the only time the wind and swell come together for a clean, surfable wave. The rest of the 16 days is mostly flat or messy, with long gaps of nothing.

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.
