The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty, and here’s the word on Langs beach. We’ve got a 16-day stretch ahead, but it’s a slow start, so don’t paddle out expecting much right away.
From Tuesday the 4th through early next week, it’s mostly flat. Tiny, weak swell with barely any push. The water temp is about 60°F, which is normal for the season. We’re looking at a gap of about a week with no real surf.
Then on Sunday the 9th, we get a jump: 7ft north swell, but it’s blown out with onshore wind—not worth it. Early next week, the wind backs off, but the swell is still weak.
The real standout is in the second week. On Saturday the 15th of August, we’ve got a 10ft east-northeast swell (1,989 combined energy), clean with cross-off wind, but it’s too big for this break—only for experts. The best day is Monday the 17th of August morning: 8ft east swell, 10-second period, clean cross-off wind (1,357 combined energy). That’s excellent surf for experienced surfers. Tuesday the 18th morning is glassy with a 8ft east swell, 12-second period—very long groundswell, which can work well here but can also break a bit straight. Wednesday the 19th morning is also clean, 7ft east-southeast swell, with offshore breeze.
If you’re a beginner, anything over 5ft is too much, and that’s most of the second week. Crowds are possible, so be early. This is a beach break, so when it’s big and messy, it might be more for kite surfers.

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.
