Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let's get into it.

Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this is a slow start. We're looking at Langs Beach, and honestly, the first few days are a write-off. The wind is on it or cross-onshore, and the waves are junky. The water's sitting at 62°F, which is pretty standard for this time of year, nothing unusual there.

The first real glimmer of hope doesn't come until Wednesday morning, July 8th. We get a brief window with a clean, offshore SSW breeze and a small 2ft swell from the east. It’s small, but those offshore conditions will make it look a million bucks. The energy is weak though (264), so don’t expect much power.

The run of clean, cross-off winds and small east swells will linger through Thursday and Friday, July 9th and 10th. The swell picks up a touch on Friday afternoon, hitting 4ft from the ESE, with a clean offshore breeze. That’s a solid little runner for the afternoon session, and the wave energy (265) is a bit better. That’s one of the better little windows early on.

We get a nice glassy afternoon on Sunday, July 12th, with tiny 2ft waves from the east, but the energy is really low (68). It’s a flat day for the loggers.

Then we hit a total dead zone. From Monday, July 13th, through the rest of that week into the weekend, it’s a series of poor surf conditions with strong onshore winds and small, weak swell. The swell is either too short-period or from the wrong direction, and the wind is just messy. That’s a tough stretch of about six or seven days with nothing worth paddling out for.

But hold onto your board shorts, because the last day of the forecast window, Tuesday, July 21st, is the standout. The afternoon session brings a solid 8ft pulse from the north. Now, the period is short at 7 seconds, so it will be a bit crumbly, but the wave energy is pumping at 675 – that’s a proper moderate, solid amount of juice. With a light, cross-off SSW breeze and clean conditions, that’s going to produce some fun, punchy waves. For experienced crew, this is the one to circle. Beginners might find it a bit too much at that size.

So, to wrap it up: it’s a lean start, a long flat patch in the middle, but that Tuesday, July 21st, afternoon is the clear highlight. Keep your fingers crossed the forecasts hold.

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.
