The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s look at what’s coming up for Langs beach. To be straight with you, it’s looking like a pretty quiet stretch for the most part.

We’ve got a long, flat spell right out of the gate. For the first week and a half, from Tuesday the 1st right through to the end of the second week, there’s nothing really worth paddling out for. The swell is tiny, mostly under 2 ft, and what little energy there is just gets blown out by cross-off or cross-shore winds. The water temp is about 59°, which is normal for the time of year, so no surprises there.

The first real standout happens on Saturday, September 12th. That morning, we see a jump in size with a 8 ft swell from the ESE, packing a solid 1245 combined energy. That’s a serious amount of juice. The wind is a clean cross-off from the SW, so the face should be fairly lined up. However, that size is in the expert-only zone, and the period is only 8 seconds – a short-period wind swell – so it’ll be a bit lumpy and won’t have that long, drawn-out wall. The afternoon drops to 5 ft and 330 energy, still good for a strong intermediate session, but again, it’s a short-period swell. This is a beach break setup, so expect it to be a bit dumpy.

The next day, Sunday the 13th, has a smaller but still fun wave in the morning – 3 ft from the NE with 227 energy and a 9-second period. Winds stay clean from the WSW. It’s a much more manageable size for most surfers, but the energy is moderate. After that, it drops right back off to nothing.

The best on offer is the Saturday morning, September 12th, for the sheer power and size, but only if you’re experienced. For the average surfer, Sunday the 13th morning is the pick of the litter, with clean conditions and a proper wave. Just remember, this is a beach break, so the long-period groundswells we’re not getting here would be better at a point or reef.

Don’t get too excited about the rest – it’s a long, flat run. That’s how it goes sometimes.

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.
