The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at the next couple of weeks for Langs beach.
First things first, the water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual there. The coming days are a bit of a mixed bag, but we do have a couple of windows that are worth paddling out for.
The week kicks off with a bit of a wait. The best early bet is Monday morning, August 10th. We’ve got a clean 5ft NE swell rolling in with a light cross-off breeze. The energy is moderate (282), and it’s a decent enough wave for a beginner-friendly spot like this. It’s not a standout, but it’s the best of the first few days. Tuesday morning, August 11th, is similar, with a clean 4ft NNE swell and light wind. The swell period is short at 8 seconds, so it won’t have much punch, but it’s surfable. The crowds can be an issue here sometimes, so keep that in mind.
Things go downhill from Wednesday the 12th through to the end of that first week, with onshore winds and choppy conditions. That Wednesday morning bump to 6ft (406) is a kite surfer’s dream, not a paddle surfer’s, as it’s cross-on and messy. We’ll be sitting that one out.
The next real chance comes on Monday morning, August 17th. This is the standout of the whole outlook. We’ve got a clean 5ft swell from the SE with a decent 9-second period, and a solid offshore wind to smooth it all out. The energy is strong (328), and the conditions look promising. It’s a bit of a long-range call, so don’t lock it in, but it’s the one to circle on the calendar.
After that, the surf drops off again. There’s a few small, clean days with glassy conditions on the 19th and 20th, but the swell is tiny (1ft to 4ft) and the period is short, so it’s barely worth a mention. The final flicker of hope is Tuesday morning, August 25th. That’s a clean 6ft ENE swell with a mild offshore wind and moderate energy (274). Again, it’s a long way out, but it’s a hopeful sign for the end of the run.
Overall, the best surf on offer is the Monday the 17th, with the Tuesday the 25th as a maybe. Everything else is either too small, too windy, or both.
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.
