Langs beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks at Langs beach. I’ll be straight with you – the outlook is pretty lean for a while, so patience is the name of the game.

We’ve got a bit of a gap at the start here with next to nothing happening. The first few days are all tiny, blown-out, or just plain flat. The water temp is sitting around 58°, which is about average for this time of year. For the most part, you’re looking at weak, short-period swell that’s barely a ripple.

Now, if you’re holding out for a proper session, your only real shot comes on Saturday afternoon, the 29th of August. That afternoon, a clean 8ft swell from the north rolls in with a period of 7 seconds. The wave energy jumps to 632, which is strong and has some push behind it. The wind goes cross-offshore from the WSW, which should tidy things up nicely. This is likely the standout of the whole period, with Langs beach delivering the best we’ll see. The crowd factor is listed as “sometimes,” so it won't be empty. But the combination of size and clean conditions puts it a step above everything else.

Before that, expect small, messy surf. A few days later, on Tuesday morning, the 8th of September, we see a bit of a pulse – 6ft from the ESE with a short period of 8 seconds and energy reading 477. That’s a moderate to strong amount of energy, but the wind looks light and cross-onshore, which isn’t doing us any favours. The forecast says “marginal,” so it’s one for the die-hards only. That would be a secondary option if you’re desperate.

Otherwise, the second week is pretty quiet. Tiny swells, mostly under 1ft to 3ft, with clean winds but just not enough oomph. The session on the 29th is the one to circle on the calendar. Most of the rest, you’re better off doing something else.

Stay tuned, forecasts can change. Rusty out.
