The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it.
First up, let’s be honest, the start of this forecast is a bit of a letdown. The water is way warmer than usual for this time of year, about 69°F and a massive anomaly of 8°F warmer than normal – that’s very unusual. But the surf? Not great.
We’ve got a solid swell filling in on Monday the 31st of August, with waves around 6 ft to 6 ft from the WSW, period around 9-10 seconds, and the combined energy is moderate (around 550-650). The wind is cross-offshore from the WNW, so the wave faces will be clean, but the reports are calling it poor surf conditions. It’s a bit of a tease.
Tuesday through the weekend, the swell drops right off. Tuesday morning you’re looking at a tiny 2 ft, and it stays small, under 3 ft, for days. The wind is cross or cross-on, so it’s not clean, and the energy is weak (values under 100). Honestly, there’s nothing to get excited about here.
Now, the one real standout in this whole 16-day window is Langland Point itself. Look at the morning of the 8th of September, Tuesday. We’ve got a 4 ft swell from the west, period of 11 seconds – that’s a proper groundswell, with good energy behind it (326). But the real magic is the wind: just 3 mph from the west, a slight air, cross-offshore. That’s going to be glassy, clean, and the point will handle that long period nicely. The best session of the whole run. It’s still a week away, so keep an eye on it, but that’s the one to mark in the calendar.
After that, the swell fades again. The 14th and 15th of September see a building swell, up to 8 ft, but the wind is howling from the WSW at 25-28 mph, cross-shore, and it’s a mess. The energy is strong (over 900), but those are just blown-out, choppy conditions. Not for paddling, that’s more kite-surfing territory.
So, overall, there’s a long gap of poor surf from Tuesday the 1st right through to the 7th. Then one clean morning on the 8th, and then back to windy, lumpy stuff. Not a classic run, but that Tuesday the 8th is a genuine window for a clean session.

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.
