The Lowdown

Hey, Rusty here. Let’s be real about what’s coming.

We’re in for a flat spell, no two ways about it. For the first week, from Monday the 14th right through to Wednesday the 23rd of September, it’s tiny. Swells barely nudge 2 feet, with combined wave energy stuck in the weak zone, mostly well under 100. The wind is often clean, but there’s no push to work with. It’s a proper drought.

The first hint of anything decent doesn’t roll in until Thursday the 24th. Langs beach finally shows a bump, with swell hitting 3 feet out of the ESE. Combined energy climbs to a moderate 114, so there’s finally some grunt. But the period is short—only 8 seconds—and Thursday morning has a nasty 15 mph north wind blowing straight onshore. It’s messy. The afternoon cleans up as the wind swings west and dies, but the period drops to 7 seconds. Not pretty, but it’s the only sign of life.

Friday the 25th looks cleaner, with a cross-offshore breeze and a 2 foot, 11-second swell from the east. Combined energy is moderate at 73. It’s small, but that longer period might mean a few more lined-up runners for the patient surfer.

That’s about it. A bleak outlook with one brief, average window around the 24th and 25th. Nothing worth burning the workday for.

Rusty.

Information about the Langs beach Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for Langs beach provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Langs beach can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Langs beach surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Langs beach) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).

Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Langs beach may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
