Table - best surf conditions forecast for Langs beach over the next 16 days.
Hey crew, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s coming up in the surf forecast. It’s a long 16-day window, but the first few days are pretty lean, so hang tight.
The first worthwhile paddle is on Saturday morning, July 11. Langs beach has waves around 3 ft from the east, with a 10-second period – solid little groundswell. Combined energy is 203 (moderate), and water temp is about average for the season. Winds are light out of the SE, cross-off, keeping it tidy. It’s a beginner-friendly spot and fairly consistent, though crowds can show up sometimes. That afternoon stays similar – 3 ft east swell, still clean with light ESE cross-off winds. That’s your best early call.
Sunday the 12th drops to 2 ft from the east, 9-second period, with light SE winds – clean but ordinary. Then from Monday the 13th through Thursday the 16th, it’s a dead zone. Poor conditions, tiny waves, and messy winds. Thursday afternoon has a moment of 3 ft from the NNW with glassy conditions, but it’s still just ordinary. That’s nearly a week with nothing to write home about.
Now for the standout. Friday morning, July 17. Langs beach gets a 2 ft easterly swell but with a 17-second period – that’s a very long-period groundswell, meaning proper shape and power. Combined energy is 215 (moderate). Winds are light WSW cross-off, clean. For a point or reef, this would be magic, but at a beach break it might straighten out a bit. Still, the quality is there. Friday afternoon holds 2 ft east swell at 16 seconds, still clean with WSW gentle breeze. Friday is the pick of the lot.
Saturday the 18th: morning is poor with 2 ft east swell and cross winds. But Saturday afternoon brings 4 ft from the north at 11 seconds, combined energy 471 (moderate to strong), with clean WSW cross-off winds. That’s punchy and fun.
Sunday the 19th gets big. Morning pushes 8 ft from the ESE at 9 seconds with 15 mph SSE winds – that’s expert-only territory. Combined energy is 2046 (very strong). It’s clean but heavy, more of a kite-surfing day. Afternoon drops to 5 ft but still windy.
From Monday the 20th onward, it’s small and ordinary – 2 to 3 ft swells with okay winds, nothing to get excited about. Thursday the 23rd has 5 ft from the north at just 6 seconds – poor, messy. Then it’s all small and poor through Sunday the 26th.
So, bottom line: Saturday July 11 morning is your first decent look, but Friday July 17 is the real gem – clean, long-period groundswell. Saturday the 18 afternoon is a solid backup.
Stay salty,
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.
