Langland Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s happening at Langland Point.

Honestly, this is a grim stretch ahead. There are some days with waves on the cards, but they are repeatedly let down by the conditions. For the next 16 days, we are looking at a long run of poor surf quality, with a few brief moments that are only just surfable. There is no true standout to get excited about here.

Starting on Monday the 14th, it’s a write-off. Light rain and a moderate cross-shore breeze make a mess of the 4ft swell from the WSW. The combined swell energy is weak at 342. Don’t bother paddling out.

Tuesday the 15th sees a bump up to 5ft from the W with a 7 second period, but the wind is a fresh cross-offshore breeze at 19 mph. The waves are clean but the short period makes them lack any power or shape. It’s just ordinary.

Wednesday the 16th morning offers the best chance in this whole outlook, and that’s not saying much. Swell drops to 3ft from the WSW, but the period stretches to 10 seconds. The wind is a moderate cross-offshore, keeping it clean. The combined swell energy is a moderate 280. It’s a marginal call, just surfable, but there’s no punch. By afternoon it’s fading fast.

Thursday the 17th and Friday the 18th are the same sad story: 5ft and 4ft swells respectively, short period, and cross-offshore wind that keeps things clean but the waves are weak and disorganised. Nothing to get out of bed for.

Saturday the 19th through to the end of the first week is a total bust. Wind swings cross-shore, creating a cross-chop on small, weak swells. The combined swell energy is very low, as low as 101 on Sunday the 20th.

Monday the 22nd morning has a glassy 2ft wave with zero wind and a 7 second period, but it’s tiny and weak with energy at 28. You could float around on a log, but that’s it.

Tuesday the 22nd afternoon is the other faint flicker of hope. A 2ft swell from the WSW with an 11-second period, and a light cross-offshore breeze giving clean conditions. Combined energy is 117. It’s small, but the longer period means a little more shape, and the wind is favourable. Still, it’s only just surfable.

From Wednesday the 23rd all the way through to Sunday the 29th, it’s tiny and poor. Most days have 2ft to 2ft swells with long periods between 9 and 13 seconds, but the energy is pitiful – often below 100. Winds are light and often glassy, so the water will be flat as a tack. There’s nothing for a surfer to chase.

The water temperature on the first day is 66°F, which is 5°F warmer than normal for this time of year. That’s notably warm, so at least a dip won’t be chilly.

In summary, don’t hold your breath. Langland Point is serving up almost nothing worth riding for the next two weeks. The best you’ll get is a couple of small, clean, but forgettable sessions on Wednesday the 16th morning and Tuesday the 22nd afternoon. For everything else, leave the board in the car.

Rusty.
