The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. Rusty here, looking at the next couple of weeks for Langs Beach.
Honestly, mate, this stretch is a tough one. We’re looking at a long, quiet period with hardly any surf worth paddling out for. The first real chance of anything even remotely rideable doesn’t show up until Thursday, September 10, and even then, it’s barely a pulse. The combined energy of all swells directed here is a weak 60 (that’s pretty low), with a tiny 1ft swell from the NE. The morning will have a clean cross-off wind, so it’ll look pretty, but don’t get your hopes up for a wave with any push.
Before that, it’s a flat spell. From now through the 9th, the swell is mostly under 1ft, and the wind is often messy or straight onshore. The best you’ll get is clean, glassy conditions on the 5th and 9th, but with hardly any swell to speak of. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there.
The standout... well, there isn’t one, really. The only period that gets a whisper of a score is Thursday morning, the 10th. The swell is 1ft from the NE, with a period of 14 seconds – that’s a long period groundswell, so it’ll have some energy but it’s going to be very inconsistent and small. A gentle breeze keeps it clean, but it’s a session for a longboard and a whole lot of patience. The crowds are only sometimes a problem here, but honestly, on a day like this, you’ll have the place to yourself.
The second week is more of the same: tiny, weak swells, mostly under 2ft, and nothing that breaks 1 on the score. The 16th shows a bump in energy to 167 (moderate), with a 3ft swell from the N, but the wind is cross-shore and a little choppy, so it’s not the cleanest. The 18th afternoon has a 4ft from the N, again with a short period, and the wind is cross-off, so it’s clean but the waves will be junk.
Overall, it’s a dry run. The area is just not showing any quality for the full 16 days. When it’s this flat, it’s not unusual for this spot. You’re better off saving the wax for another week.
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.
