Langs beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ve scanned the charts for the next couple of weeks, and to be honest, it’s a quiet stretch for Langs beach. There’s no proper surf on offer for the entire 16-day window. Everything is flagged as poor surf conditions, so we’re looking at a long, flat spell with nothing worth paddling out for. It’s one of those blank runs that’s more normal for this area, but forecasts can always change down the track.

The first recommendation would’ve been Tuesday morning, 15th September, but it’s a no-go. A tiny 1ft NE groundswell with a long 12-second period is rolling in, but the combined wave energy is weak (29). The wind is WSW at 3 mph, cross-offshore, so it’s clean, but there’s just no push. That pattern sticks around for days: Tuesday afternoon is the same story with a bit more breeze. Wednesday, 16th September, still a meagre 1ft NE swell, period up to 13 seconds, but cross-shore winds mess up any chance of a wave. The combined energy barely climbs to 38.

Thursday, 17th September, the swell bumps up to 4ft from the north in the morning, but it’s short-period windswell at only 5 seconds, and the wind is cross-onshore at 12 mph, making it choppy. Combined energy hits 84, still weak. By Thursday afternoon, the swell pushes to 5ft from the north, period 6 seconds, but the wind swings onshore at 19 mph from the north, and it’s a messy 159 combined energy. Still poor surf, and definitely more of a kite-surfing setup than paddle surfing, if you ask me.

Friday, 18th September, drops back to 2ft N swell in the morning, cross-offshore SW wind at 16 mph, clean but tiny. Afternoon brings rain showers and a howling 25 mph SW wind, combined energy down to 25. Saturday and Sunday, 19th and 20th September, are flat as a tack: 0.7ft E swells with 11-13 second periods, but combined energy is in the teens and single digits. The winds are fresh cross-offshore, keeping it clean, but there’s nothing to ride.

Monday, 21st September, through to Wednesday, 23rd September, it’s all 0.3ft to 0.3ft swells from the east and northeast, with combined energy often below 10. Thursday, 24th September, shows a brief 1ft SE swell in the morning with a 7-second period and a sweet offshore southerly wind at 12 mph – the only real offshore window of the whole outlook – but combined energy is only 22. Clean as a whistle, but too small to bother.

The final few days, from Friday, 25th September, to Wednesday, 30th September, stay in the 0.7ft to 2ft range, mostly from the east or southeast, with periods between 6 and 13 seconds. Winds are light and mostly cross-offshore or light cross-shore, so conditions are clean, but the wave energy never breaks out of the 20s or low 30s. No standouts, no real swell, and nothing that’d get a local out of bed. Keep an eye on the charts, but for now, it’s a total washout.

Rusty.
