The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s keep it real – this stretch is a bummer. We’re looking at a long dry spell before anything worth paddling out for. The first real chance isn’t until the second week, so don’t hold your breath for the next few days.
We start off flat. Saturday the 8th and Sunday the 9th are total washouts – tiny, ugly, and not worth a look. Monday the 10th and Tuesday the 11th have a little bump, but it’s nothing special. Then you’re looking at a run of poor surf all the way through to the middle of the next week. You’re basically waiting until Friday the 14th for anything close to decent.
The only true standout in this whole 16-day window is on Friday the 14th. Langs Beach finally gets a pulse. The afternoon session brings a 5ft swell from the NNW, with a short period of 5 seconds, so it’s wind-swell, but the wind is cross-offshore from the WSW at 9 mph. That’ll keep things clean. The combined energy is moderate at 200, so there’s some push. It’s a beginner-friendly spot, fairly consistent, but it can get crowded sometimes. The water temp is about 59°, which is pretty normal for the time of year. The morning of the 14th is smaller at 2ft, also clean, but the afternoon is the pick.
After that, we’re back to nothing. From Saturday the 15th right through to the 23rd, it’s tiny waves, mostly under 2ft, clean but completely flat. There’s a moment on the 20th with a bit of height, but it’s from the ESE and messy.
So, your one shot is that Friday the 14th. The rest is a quiet stretch. It happens in this area, but it usually doesn’t stay this poor for long. Forecasts can change. Keep watching.
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.
