Langosta Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here. Let’s talk about the next stretch for Langosta. It’s a mix of small windows and a promising pulse around the middle of the month, so you need to pick your moments.

We kick things off this Saturday, August 8th. There’s a bit of swell on offer, around 3ft from the SSW with a 16-second period. The water’s sitting at 86°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year. The morning sees a solid ENE breeze, but it’s offshore, so the lines should be clean, though the energy is moderate (580). It’s small, but for a beginner-friendly spot like this, it’s rideable.

Sunday the 9th is a bit of a mixed bag. The morning gets chopped by a fresh cross-offshore, but the afternoon settles with a gentle offshore and clean conditions. Swell stays around 3ft from the SW. Nothing special, but if you’re keen, the arvo session is the go.

Monday the 10th follows a similar theme. Morning gets a bit messy, but the afternoon comes alive with light offshore wind and clean 3ft SW swell. It’s a consistent, small-wave setup, and the energy is moderate (441). Good for a longboard or a funboard.

The standout window starts to build around Friday, August 14th. In the afternoon, we’ve got 4ft of SW swell with an 18-second period—that’s some proper groundswell energy (1087). The wind is light and cross-offshore, so it’s going to be clean. This is the pick of the first week. The next morning, Saturday the 15th, the swell jumps to 5ft, but the wind is a fresh cross-offshore, making it a bit more challenging. The energy is strong (1117), but the quality drops. If you’re experienced, the Friday arvo is your best bet.

From Sunday the 16th through to Tuesday the 18th, we see the swell ease back to 4ft to 4ft, still SW, but the period drops to 14-15 seconds. Mornings are clean but the wind is cross-off. It’s surfable, but nothing to write home about.

There’s a small gap in real quality from the 19th to the 20th, with weaker swells and more inconsistent energy. The 20th afternoon has a light offshore and clean 3ft, but it’s all pretty average.

The final chance for a decent wave comes late in the window, on Sunday, August 23rd. The morning is small and cross-off, but the afternoon sees a moderate offshore wind, cleaning up 3ft of SSW swell. It’s tiny, but clean. This is a last-gasp effort for a wave.

Look, this isn’t a week for big barrels. The swell is mostly in the 3ft to 4ft range, and the standout is definitely Friday afternoon the 14th. That’s your window for the best clean surf. Everything else is small, and you’ll be fighting a bit of chop or just dealing with weak energy. It’s rooty, but there are waves to be had.

Rusty out.
