The Lowdown

Alright, mates, let’s talk about this. I’ve been looking at the charts for the Gower, and honestly, it’s a lean stretch. If you’re hoping for a solid run of Langland Point (Gower) over the next couple of weeks, you might want to find another hobby for a bit. There are a few windows, but we have a long spell of small, weak surf to paddle through.

For the first week, from the 16th to the 23rd, it’s a battle. The swell is tiny, mostly under 4ft, and the periods are short, in that 5–7 second range. That’s just windswell, not that deep ocean power we need. The combined energy is mostly in the weak zone, reading under 100 (like 18 or 46), with a couple of moderate pulses on the 18th and 20th mornings (141 and 154). But even those don’t get a pass. It’s a lot of cross-off wind, which would be good if there were any wave face to work with, but there isn’t.

Then it goes dead flat. From the 23rd through the 26th, we’re dealing with waves under 0.7ft. The energy readings are just single digits (8, 9). Even on the 26th morning, when it’s glassy and clean, you can’t ride air. We just have to wait it out.

Now, the one time to get excited is Thursday the 28th. The morning looks stormy and messy, with a 7ft WSW swell. That’s a big, raw ocean, and you’d want to be careful. But the afternoon is the real deal. The swell drops to a still-solid 5ft from the WSW, and the period stretches out to 9 seconds. The combined energy is a healthy 294. It’s still marked as “marginal” due to tide, but it’s the only real swell of the whole window. The wind is light and cross, so it might be a little lumpy, but the size will be worth it. This one is for experienced surfers only; it’s too big for beginners. Langland Point will be the place to be if you can nail the time.

After that peak, it falls off again. The 31st shows a 3ft W swell with an offshore breeze, but the period is a short 6 seconds, so it’s going to be weak and crumbly. Good for a longboard, but not the finish we’re hoping for.

Water temps are about normal for this time of year, so your usual wetsuit is fine. Just keep the expectations low for most of this, and keep that 28th in mind. It’s not a sure thing, but it’s our only real shot.

I’ll be there.

Rusty.

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.
