Langs beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, this is Rusty checkin' in from Langs Beach. Lookin' at the charts for the next couple of weeks, and honestly, it's a tough stretch. There's no surf on offer right now and things aren't lookin' great for a while. We're starin' down a long gap from now until maybe the tail end of the first week before we might see anything worth paddlin' out for.

Let's break it down. The first real chance for a session is early on Saturday, July 5th. There's a weak, 3 ft easterly swell pushin' in at around an 11-second period from the east. It's small and pretty marginal though, with a light cross-shore wind. The combined energy is only moderate at 311. It's not gonna be epic, maybe somethin' for the longboard or a foiler to poke around on, but nothin' to get excited about.

The whole first week is basically a write-off. Swell stays inconsistent and under 3 ft for most of it, with onshore winds and poor conditions. The water temp is sittin' about normal for this time of year at 62°, so that's no surprise.

There is a bit of a spike in size on Tuesday, July 8th, with a 6 ft swell from the north-northeast, but it's a short-period windswell (7 seconds) and is goin' to be a messy, choppy mess with onshore winds. The combined energy is high at 410, but it's just gonna be blown out. That one's for the kite surfers, not us paddle guys.

We finally see conditions clean up on Thursday, July 10th into the weekend. The swell drops right back to 3 ft, but the wind goes offshore from the south-southwest. It'll be clean, but tiny. You'd be lookin' at clean ankle-to-knee-high rollers for a log, and that's bein' generous.

After that, it's a steep drop-off. From Sunday, July 13th right through to the end of the forecast, we're lookin' at flat spells. There's a tiny bump of 1 ft with glassy conditions on Tuesday, July 15th, but it's not enough to get your fins wet. The combined energy is barely a whisper at 42.

The real kicker comes on Thursday, July 17th. A solid 7 ft northern swell rolls in, but it's slammed by a 25-31 mph onshore gale from the northeast. That's a nasty, dangerous, blown-out mess with a combined energy of 517. That's not surf; that's a survival mission. Stay on the beach for that one.

So, lookin' at the whole 16 days, there are no standouts. The best you could hope for is a tiny, clean but weak window around the 10th and 11th of July if you're desperate for a paddle. Otherwise, it's a long, quiet run. Sometimes it just goes like that here.
