Langosta Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's look at what's coming down the pipe for Langosta. This is a consistent, exposed beach, reef and rivermouth set-up, and it's handling a long-period SW groundswell. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing wild to report there.

Right now, we're looking at a bit of a lull. The first few days are pretty ordinary. Wednesday the 26th and Thursday the 27th have some tiny 2ft swell with periods over 15 seconds, but the energy is weak to moderate. The wind is mostly cross-off or off, so it's clean, but there's just not enough push for a proper wave. Friday the 28th picks up a touch to 3ft with a 19-second period, but a fresh breeze makes for a messy outlook. You'd be scratching for anything decent.

Then, things start to get interesting. The real action kicks off on Saturday morning, August 29th. We’re looking at 5ft of SW groundswell with a period of 16 seconds. The combined energy is strong, and we’ve got a moderate offshore wind. This is a standout for experienced surfers. The size is getting up there, so it’s not for beginners, but for those with some skill, those long-period lines will be wrapping in clean. Just a heads-up, the afternoon gets a bit ugly with a cross-onshore.

Sunday the 30th keeps the 5ft SW swell going with a 14-second period, and the morning offshore breeze is gentle, keeping it clean. It’s good, solid fun.

We get a window of clean, smaller waves from Monday the 31st through Tuesday September 1st, with 3ft to 4ft swell and light offshores. It’s not pumping, but it’s surfable.

Now, here's the other big standout. Mark your calendars for Friday morning, September 4th. We get a return of 5ft SW groundswell with a 17-second period, combined energy of 1404. The wind is glassy, 3 mph from the NNE. This is another one for the experienced crew. Crystal clean, powerful lines, and a solid swell. It holds through Saturday morning the 5th with 5ft SW groundswell and a light offshore, still excellent. After that, it slowly backs off into the second week, with the morning of September 8th giving a glassy 4ft pulse with a very long 19-second period, and the morning of the 10th seeing 5ft SW groundswell and clean conditions. Those last two are promising, but being that far out, treat them as a solid heads-up rather than a guarantee.

Keep in mind, Langosta gets crowded often, especially when it's good like this. For the real standout sessions, expect plenty of company. And don't forget, this break handles the deep, long-period SW groundswell like a champ.

Alright, keep your eyes on the horizon.
