The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's get into it.
Look, I'm gonna be straight with you. The next week and a half is a bit of a write-off for Langland Point. We've got a lot of windy, choppy days ahead, and the swell is just not cooperating. It’s a frustrating start to the outlook, nothing but small, weak waves (energy between 14 and 17) on Wednesday and Thursday of this week, and then it gets messy. The water is a crazy 7° warmer than usual for this time of year, which is very unusual, but it doesn't mean much when the surf is junk.
We see a pulse of swell come in on the morning of Friday the 28th of August, with waves around 6ft from the WSW, but the wind is a fresh cross-shore churning up a lumpy, choppy mess. The energy is a moderate 326. This is not a paddle session; it looks more interesting for kite surfing than a traditional surf. The same story continues for Saturday, with a bit of a drop in size and onshore winds.
The first real chance for something clean comes on Monday the 31st of August. The Langland Point (point break) swell fills in at 8ft from the WSW. The energy is strong at 863, and the wind goes cross-offshore, which is a huge positive. This is a bigger swell, over 8ft, making it a session for experts only. The waves will have a period of 9 seconds, so plenty of energy but the sets will be a bit close together. Crowds are possible here, so keep your eyes open. It’s the best of a bad bunch, but still a marginal call due to the tide.
After that, it drops off again. The morning of Tuesday the 1st of September is clean but small, and then we hit a real flat spell with glassy, tiny 0.3ft waves on the Wednesday. The next real standout doesn't roll in until the morning of Saturday the 5th of September. The swell builds to a clean 7ft from the WSW, with glassy conditions and a combined energy of 394. Again, this is big for the average punter, but the point break should handle it well. The morning looks magic, but the afternoon gets a bit of a cross-shore wind.
Overall, the run of poor conditions is long, but we have two distinct, clean windows for the experienced crew on the 31st of August and the 5th of September. The forecasts can change, so keep an eye on it.

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.
