The Lowdown
Right, let’s have a look at the outlook for Langland Point. The next couple of weeks are a bit of a mixed bag, with plenty of onshore wind and lumpy conditions taking hold for most of the period. What we’ve got here is a consistent setup, but the quality takes a real hit through most of the coming days. There are a few windows where it cleans up, but only a couple of sessions really stand out.
Right now, starting from Tuesday the 25th, the water is already running at 68°F, which is a full 7°F warmer than the long-term average at this time of year. That’s very unusual, so expect noticeably warm bathwater out there.
The first few days are a write-off. Tuesday afternoon has a tiny 2ft swell from the east at a poor 3 seconds with a cross-on breeze. Weak energy (11) and poor surf. Wednesday and Thursday are much the same – small, choppy, cross-shore winds, just ugly conditions.
Friday the 28th morning offers the first real change. We get a 5ft swell from the WSW (135 combined swell energy), with a clean, cross-off wind out of the west at 12 mph. That’s the kind of wind you want. The period is a short 6 seconds, so it’s windswell, but it’ll be rideable and clean. Not the best quality of wave, but the only decent paddle on offer until later. That Friday morning is a solid option for a quick session.
Saturday the 29th has size but the wind cranks up to 19-25 mph from the SW, making it a messy, lumpy cross-shore mess. The 7ft swell has moderate energy (374) but it’s blown out. Not one for the sucker.
Sunday the 30th and Monday the 31st keep that cross-on wind and fairly choppy, poor surf. The swell direction shifts to WSW, but the periods are short at 8-9 seconds. The surf stays average.
Now, looking ahead to Wednesday the 2nd of September: the morning session finally turns the corner. A 4ft WSW swell, period 6 seconds, with a light westerly cross-off wind at 6 mph giving clean conditions (172 combined swell energy). It’s a brief window of surfable waves, but the report says the conditions are still “very ordinary”. Still, this is one of the two standout windows.
The only other real highlight comes on Saturday the 5th of September. A morning with a northwest offshore wind at 19 mph, cleaning up a 2ft WSW swell with a very long 11-second period (125 combined swell energy). That’s a groundswell; the long period means it’ll have some shape and power, but at a beach-and-reef setup like Langland Point, it might break a bit straight. The afternoon is a little lighter but still clean with a moderate offshore breeze. The problem is the swell is small – only 2ft – so you’re on the small end. Still, offshore wind and a long-period swell makes for a proper surf.
Beyond that, the forecast for Sunday the 6th goes glassy with a tiny 1ft swell, then Monday the 7th shows a giant 8ft to 10ft swell pouring in from the WSW, but wind goes cross-on and then near gale force from the SW (34 mph) on Monday afternoon – those waves are blown out and dangerous for any but experts. Combined swell energy hits a monstrous 1807 on that afternoon. It looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddling.
So, the best on offer: Friday the 28th morning for a clean, small but surfable window, and Saturday the 5th of September for that glassy, long-period, offshore morning. Other than those, it’s mostly a waiting game.

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.
