The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break it down for the next couple of weeks.
First off, it’s a lean stretch for Langs beach. The water temp is about 59°, right around normal for this time of year, so nothing wild there.
The whole 16 days is pretty flat or messy. The first real chance at anything comes on Sunday the 30th of August. By the afternoon, the wind goes glassy out of the NNW, and we’ve got 2ft of swell from the NE, period 10 seconds. The combined energy is 82 (weak), so it’s small but clean. Enough for a log, nothing more.
Monday the 31st of August sees a bit more size: 3ft from the NE, same 10-second period, and combined energy hitting 205 (moderate). That’s the biggest swell of the run, but the wind is cross-onshore, light in the morning and building to a gentle breeze in the afternoon, so it gets a little lumpy. Crowds are possible here sometimes, but with these conditions, it won’t be packed.
After that, September starts with rain and onshore winds, then a clean but tiny finish. No real standout. The best pick is the glassy Sunday afternoon (30th August) for a clean, small session, or the Monday morning (31st August) for a bit more punch but messier water.
Keep your expectations in check. It’s a quiet few weeks.
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.
