The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this forecast is a tough one for Langs Beach. The whole 16-day window is pretty much a write-off for decent surf. The first half of the period is dominated by tiny, wind-affected swell, and the second half doesn’t get much better. There’s a big gap from the start right through to nearly the end of the second week with no real recommendation.

The best we can find is a small window on Monday morning, September 18th, where conditions are *clean*. Even then, we’re looking at a tiny 1 ft swell from the NNW with a short period, giving weak energy (34). It’s surfable but far from inspiring. The main problem is that for most of the run, the wind is a mix of onshore, cross, or strong cross-offshore, keeping the surface chopped up and messy. The swells are consistently small, often under 2 ft, and when a slightly bigger pulse shows up around 3 ft to 4 ft on the 17th and 21st, the wind is either howling or directly onshore.

Water temp is around 60°F with a 1°F anomaly – that’s about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

Honestly, for anyone looking for a proper paddle session, the outlook is bleak. If you’re a beginner, that tiny 1 ft clean stuff on the 18th is your only, very small, shot. The combined energy values are almost all two-digit numbers (weak), with the highest being 301 on the 7th, but that was paired with a 6 ft bone-crunching short-period windswell and 15 mph cross-onshore wind – a complete mess. For a beach break, that setup is more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.

So, mark your calendar for that Monday morning in mid-September, but don’t hold your breath. The rest of the time, you’re better off doing something else.

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.

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.
