Langosta Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.

We’ve got a bit of a slow start this week, but there’s some good stuff brewing for the patient ones. The overall pattern is a steady, long-period swell out of the southwest that’s gonna keep things ticking over, but you gotta pick your moments with the wind.

Langosta is the only game in town, and it’s a consistent spot – a mix of beach, reef, and rivermouth that’s good for beginners. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing weird going on.

The first real call is Monday morning, August 17th. We’ve got a clean 3.6 ft swell from the southwest with a solid 14-second period. The energy is moderate (428), and with a light cross-offshore breeze, it’s going to be clean. That afternoon looks even better, turning glassy with a bit more energy (500). That’s a sweet window.

Tuesday the 18th is a write-off – messy wind and marginal conditions. Wednesday the 19th morning cleans up with a 3.0 ft swell and a proper offshore wind. The period bumps to 15 seconds, which is a long-period groundswell. That’s great for shape and energy, but at a beach/rivermouth setup, it might break a bit straight. Still, it’s clean.

There’s a gap of poor conditions from Thursday the 20th through to Saturday the 22nd, with dropping swell and onshore crud. Sunday the 23rd afternoon shows a glimmer with a 2.0 ft, 18-second swell and offshore wind, but it’s small.

Now, for the true standouts, you gotta look ahead. Saturday, August 29th is a ripper. The morning brings a solid 4.3 ft southwest swell, 17-second period, and the energy is strong (1017). That’s a *lot* of power. The wind is light offshore, so it’ll be clean. That’s for experienced surfers – over 5 ft, it’s getting punchy for the beginners.

Sunday, August 30th morning is almost identical: 4.6 ft, 16 seconds, strong energy (1065), and a clean cross-offshore breeze. Another cracker for those who know what they’re doing.

Then Monday, August 31st morning keeps the run going with a very clean 3.9 ft, 14-second swell and glassy offshore wind. Energy is still solid (629). A great option for the advanced crew.

The tail end, Tuesday, September 1st morning, is a glassy 3.3 ft swell with a 13-second period. Clean and fun. The best of the bunch is the Saturday the 29th and Sunday the 30th mornings – a proper long-period groundswell with strong energy and clean wind. Expect crowds here, as it’s a consistent spot that’s often busy.
