The Lowdown
Right then, folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Langland Point over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I’m looking at the charts and it’s a pretty grim picture for the foreseeable. The problem is, nearly every single day in the forecast comes back with "poor surf conditions." For a spot that’s fairly exposed to a SW swell, that’s tough. The water temps are a real talking point, though. The first reading on the 3rd of August shows the water at 68°F, which is a massive 7°F warmer than normal for this time of year. That’s very unusual, so you’ll be in for a warm paddle if you do go for a dip, but unfortunately, the waves aren't cooperating.
The combined swell energy is weak for the entire run, with the highest reading hitting a moderate 284 (combined energy of all swells directed here) on the morning of the 5th, but even then, the quality is still rated as poor. The wind is often cross-off or cross, which would normally be okay, but the swell is just too small and messy.
Because of the bad scores, we start with a gap. The first record is for the 3rd of August, but it’s a zero score. There’s a long stretch of near-nothing here. The only tiny glimmer of hope is on the 16th of August, a Sunday morning. We’ve got a 2ft swell from the west, a period of 7 seconds, and the wind is blowing from the NNW at 6 mph, which is offshore. That’ll clean things up, but it’s a tiny wave, and the combined energy is only 51. It’s the best on offer, but that’s not saying much. For a more experienced surfer, the 15th of August (Saturday) shows a 4ft swell from the west, but it’s a cross-shore wind at 19 mph and a period of 8 seconds, making it lumpy and messy. At 4ft it’s not huge, but with that wind, it’s a battle.
The real standout, if you can call it that, is that offshore window on the morning of the 16th. It’s the only time the wind is true offshore for this spot. The crowd situation says "sometimes," so you might have a few others out, but it won’t be packed. The swell direction (W) is a bit off the optimum SW, but it’s the cleanest and most usable wave in the whole 16 days. After that, the 18th of August has a glassy morning (0 mph wind) with a 3ft swell from the WSW, but the period is a short 6 seconds, so the wave will be weak and crumbly.
Overall, it’s a rough period. The setup is more interesting for a kite surfer on the bigger, windier days than it is for a paddle surfer. The forecasts can change, but right now, I’d be looking for a different hobby for a few weeks.

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.
Langland Point is 9 km (6 miles) from Swansea. If you plan a holiday in Wales - Gower, look for hotels and other accommodation in Swansea. Swansea has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
