Langosta Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here. We’ve got a solid run of surf coming up at Langosta, a beach, reef, and rivermouth setup that’s consistent and exposed to the west-northwest. The water’s sitting at 86°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year—nothing extreme, just a nice little bonus.

The action kicks off Tuesday morning, September 1st, with a clean 3ft swell from the southwest, period of 12 seconds, and light offshore winds from the east-southeast. The combined energy is moderate at 385, and it’s glassy—perfect for a beginner-friendly session. Afternoon goes a bit crumbly with cross-shore wind and a marginal call, so aim for the early.

Wednesday morning, September 2nd, brings a smaller 2ft swell but the period jumps to 18 seconds—that’s long-period groundswell, which means better shaped waves but longer waits between sets. Combined energy is moderate at 574, and with cross-offshore winds from the northeast, it’s clean. This is a morning for the patient surfer.

Thursday morning, September 3rd, is even cleaner: 2ft swell from the southwest, 19-second period, and light cross-offshore winds. Energy is moderate at 731. It’s small but glassy, good for a longboard.

Now, Friday morning, September 4th, is a standout. Swell bumps up to 5ft from the southwest, period 17 seconds, combined energy strong at 1455. Winds are light and cross-offshore from the northeast, and it’s clean. This is excellent for experienced surfers—big enough to have some punch, but not out of control. Morning is the call.

Saturday morning, September 5th, is another ripper: 6ft southwest swell, 16-second period, combined energy strong at 1579. Clean with light cross-offshore winds. This is the best of the run—big, powerful, and clean. For experienced surfers only. Afternoon gets messy with onshore wind.

Sunday morning, September 6th, drops to 5ft, 14-second period, combined energy moderate at 886, still clean with cross-offshore winds. A solid session, but not as epic as the previous two days.

The next week stays consistent but smaller. Monday September 7th morning is 4ft, clean, then Tuesday September 8th has a glassy afternoon with 3ft from the south-southwest and 13-second period—a sneaky good session. Wednesday September 9th is offshore and glassy all day, 3ft swell. Thursday September 10th morning sees energy spike to 1070 with 4ft swell and offshore winds, excellent for experienced surfers.

The second week tails off. Friday September 11th to Sunday September 13th sees smaller swell—3ft to 4ft—with moderate energy, but winds are mixed. The morning of Saturday September 12th has offshore winds at 3ft, which is worth a look. Monday September 14th is small but clean with 2ft and 18-second period.

The real hidden gem is Tuesday morning, September 15th: glassy, 3ft southwest swell, 18-second period, combined energy moderate at 530. Dead calm, no wind—perfect for a dawny.

Wednesday September 16th ends the run with a clean 3ft morning and a glassy afternoon. Overall, Friday and Saturday September 4th and 5th mornings are the clear standouts—big, clean, and powerful. Get on it.

Rusty.
