The Lowdown

Hey, Rusty here with the skinny on what’s coming.

We’ve got a quiet start to this stretch. For the first few days, the surf is flat and weak. Tuesday the 14th kicks off with a tiny 2ft N windswell at Langs beach, but the combined energy is low (38) and conditions are poor. Wednesday and Thursday are just as small and messy.

The first sign of life appears on Friday the 17th. We get a 2ft easterly swell with a long 17-second period at Langs beach. The combined energy is moderate (288) and the wind is clean and cross-off. It’s surfable, but nothing special. The weekend holds small, clean waves, but it’s still a wait.

Now for the real action. The standout window starts on Thursday the 23rd of July. That morning, we see a 6ft ENE swell with a 9-second period and moderate energy (648). The wind is clean. It’s just the warm-up.

Friday the 24th of July is your pick of the run. Langs beach gets 6ft of NE swell with an 11-second period, and the combined energy is strong (833). Winds are gentle to light, and conditions are clean. The water temp is 61°, which is about average for this time of year. This is a solid, clean day for anyone with some experience.

If you want a bigger wave, Saturday the 25th of July is for experts only. The swell hits 7-8ft out of the ENE, with a very long 12-second period. The combined energy is massive (1137-1493) – that’s very strong power. We get offshore winds in the morning (S 5 km/h) and light cross-off in the afternoon. These are excellent waves, but too big for beginners. The long period (12 seconds) will make them powerful, but at a beach break they can close out. Expect crowds to be possible.

Sunday the 26th of July keeps it pumping with 7ft ENE swell, a 12-second period, and offshore winds in the morning. The energy is still very strong (1356). Another excellent day for the experienced crew.

The swell drops off after that. Monday the 27th goes back to 6ft, and the energy weakens. The last days – the 28th and 29th of July – offer smaller, cleaner waves in the 4-5ft range with glassy conditions. Great for a relaxed session.

So, mark your calendar: Friday 24th and Saturday 25th of July are the ones. The first day for a clean, fun swell, and the second for a bigger, powerful groundswell for experts. The early part of the run is for resting.

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.

Langs beach is 41 km (25 miles) from the city of Whangarei. If you plan a holiday in Northland, look for hotels and other accommodation in Whangarei. Whangarei has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
