Langosta Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here. Let’s run through what’s on the cards at Langosta over the next couple of weeks.

There’s some decent groundswell rolling in, with clean mornings being the ticket. The standout sessions are in the first week. Water temps are around 86°, a touch warmer than usual for this time of year.

Thursday the 2nd of July starts things off clean. Swell is 3ft from the SW, with a 15-second period, and a light easterly offshore breeze. The combined swell energy is moderate at 322. Fun little waves for the beach, reef and rivermouth.

Friday the 3rd is a real highlight. Friday morning is clean with 3ft SW swell, 14-second period, and a moderate cross-off from the NE. The afternoon steps it up—3ft SSW swell, a long 16-second period, and a gentle NNE cross-off. Combined energy sits at 574 in the morning, 516 in the afternoon. Clean, long-period groundswell, best on the reef and rivermouth.

Saturday the 4th morning holds clean surf with 3ft SSW swell, 16-second period, ENE cross-off, and combined energy of 429. Afternoon is a washout with onshore wind.

Sunday the 5th morning is another banger: 3ft SW swell with a very long 18-second period, light SE cross-off, and combined energy at 612. Quality groundswell, glassy conditions, longer lulls—gives you time to paddle out.

Monday the 6th morning brings 2ft SW swell, a very long 20-second period, and a moderate easterly offshore. Combined energy hits 770. Small but clean and powerful. Afternoon is less exciting with a light cross-onshore.

Tuesday the 7th sees the swell build—4ft in the morning, 5ft in the afternoon, both from the SW with an 18-second period. Morning stays clean with an ENE cross-off. Afternoon gets a light cross-onshore. Energy jumps to 1216 and 1367—strong. At 5ft, it’s getting solid for beginners.

Wednesday the 8th morning has 4ft SSW swell, 16-second period, and a moderate ENE cross-off—clean and punchy. Afternoon eases to 4ft SW swell, a light NE cross-off, with combined energy of 759.

From Thursday the 9th onward, it fades. Mornings stay mostly clean but swell drops from 4ft down to 2ft by the 16th. Afternoons get messy with t-storms and cross-onshore winds. Sunday the 12th morning is glassy with 3ft SSW swell and 14-second period—a nice clean session for the longboard.

After the 12th, it gets small. Monday the 13th morning is clean but only 2ft. Thursday the 16th morning has 2ft SW swell with a 16-second period and a gentle offshore—still rideable. By Friday the 17th, it’s just 2ft in the morning with a gentle offshore and that’s about it.

Best on offer:
Friday the 3rd and Sunday the 5th of July are the ones to lock in. Friday serves clean 3ft groundswell with 16-second period and perfect cross-off winds. Sunday pumps a very long 18-second SW swell at 3ft with light cross-off breezes and combined energy of 612. Langosta is consistent, exposed to the WNW optimum, and the reef and rivermouth will love that long period. Crowds are often, so you’ll have company.

Sunday the 12th morning is a glassy sleeper at 3ft for a fun, clean session.

After the 12th, there’s a big gap of small, average waves through to the 17th. That’s just how it goes sometimes. Keep an eye on it, forecasts can shift.

Rusty.
