Langosta Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, mates, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the boil for our spot.

We’ve got a solid run of surf coming through, starting from Thursday afternoon and running for a good stretch. The water’s sitting at a warm 86°, which is a touch warmer than you’d normally expect for this time of year, so that’s a nice bonus.

The action kicks off Thursday afternoon at Langosta. It’s a beach, reef, and rivermouth setup, so plenty of options. We’re looking at a small 1ft swell from the SW, with a light offshore breeze, making for clean conditions. The energy is weak (330), but it’s a start.

Things really pick up on Friday morning, the 24th. A 3ft SW swell, cross-offshore wind, and clean surf. The wave energy jumps to moderate (851). The morning is the call here, as the afternoon turns into a cross-on mess with a risk of t-storms.

Saturday the 25th morning is another good one. A 3ft SW swell with a light cross-offshore breeze, clean surf, and moderate energy (880). Again, the afternoon gets messy with cross-on winds.

Now, Sunday the 26th is where it starts to get interesting. The afternoon sees a 4ft SW swell, with a gentle offshore wind, and the energy is strong (1107). That’s excellent surf for experienced surfers. The morning is good too, but the afternoon is the standout for that day.

Monday the 27th morning is excellent as well. A 4ft SW swell, light offshore wind, and the energy is strong (1424). The afternoon turns onshore, so stick to the morning.

The real standout window is Tuesday the 28th and Wednesday the 29th mornings. Tuesday morning delivers a 6ft SW swell, light offshore wind, and excellent conditions with very strong energy (1766). That’s the best quality swell height and wind combo in the whole run. Wednesday morning is nearly as good with a 5ft SW swell and glassy, clean conditions (1317). This is a solid 5ft+, so it’s not for beginners, but for the experienced crew, it’s going to be firing.

The swell drops off through the end of the month and into August. Thursday the 30th morning is still decent with a 4ft SW swell and clean conditions, but the energy is dropping (678). After that, we get a long stretch of small, weak surf with poor conditions and onshore winds. The energy drops below 100 on the 5th of August, and we’re looking at tiny, unappealing waves.

The last little flicker of hope is on Friday the 7th of August, with a 3ft SW swell, but the wind is messy and the forecast is marginal.

So, to sum it up: The best on offer is the Tuesday and Wednesday mornings (28th and 29th July). Solid SW swell, clean offshore winds, and plenty of energy. Get on it early. After that, it’s a long flat spell.

Rusty.
