Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on offer for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, we're looking at a pretty bleak stretch ahead. The first surfable waves don't show up until Sunday the 5th, and even then it's marginal. We kick off with a small, weak swell from the east at 3ft with an 11-second period, but it's cross-shore and the combined energy is only 314 – we're in the weak zone. It's a beginner-friendly height, but the quality is questionable due to tide and wind. Monday the 6th is a write-off with strong onshore wind and sloppy, short-period windswell. Tuesday the 7th brings a size jump to 7ft from the NE, but with a short 7-second period and a stiff onshore breeze, it's lumpy and poor – definitely one for experts only if anyone bothers.
The best we see in the whole run is on Wednesday the 8th. The morning session at Langs beach offers 5ft from the ESE with an 8-second period and a clean, cross-offshore wind from the SW. The combined energy is 373, which is moderate. It's not perfect, but it's the cleanest conditions of this first week. Crowds are sometimes an issue here, so keep that in mind.
After that, the swell just dies. From Thursday the 9th through to Saturday the 19th of July, we have a brutal run of tiny, weak surf. Heights drop to 1.0ft to 2ft and the energy readings are well under 100. There are a few clean mornings with light winds, especially on the 12th, but with waves barely breaking, it's more of a paddle than a surf. Then, late in the period, on the 17th of July, a short-period WNW windswell of 3ft appears briefly, but with a cross-onshore wind, it's choppy and ugly. Not worth getting excited about.
So, the standout, and it's a weak one, is the Wednesday the 8th morning session. That's your best bet for a few clean, rideable waves. Everything else is either blown out or too small.
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.
