The Lowdown
Hey folks, Rusty here. Let’s break it down.
Honestly, the outlook for Langs beach over the next 16 days is a tough one to write. The swell is pretty much non-existent. There’s a big gap of nothing coming up, with lots of days where you can leave your board in the car. The water temp is around 59°F, which is about normal for this time of year, nothing weird there.
From Friday the 4th through the start of the following week, it’s all tiny. On Monday the 7th morning, a 7ft swell from the north pops up, but it’s short-period at 7 seconds, with a messy cross-onshore wind. The wave energy hits 448 (moderate), but it’s just not going to be clean or fun. After that, it’s back to ankle-biters.
The rest of the period is a total washout. Wave heights barely break 3ft, and the energy readings are all under 100 (weak). You’ll see some clean conditions, but with nothing to ride. On Wednesday the 9th afternoon, there’s a clean 1ft swell with a long 15-second period, but it’s just too small to even bother with. The second week is the same deal: clean, tiny, and unsurfable. This kind of flat spell is just part of the deal sometimes. Keep an eye on it, things can turn around.
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.
