Langs beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Langs beach over the next couple of weeks.

Honestly, it’s a pretty grim start. We’re looking at a long, flat spell with nothing worth paddling out for. The first real surfable energy doesn’t show up until the morning of the 30th of August, so we’re staring at a solid ten-day gap of tiny, weak waves or just plain flatness. The water temperature is sitting at 59°, which is about average for this time of year, so no complaints there.

The first thing that has any life is Sunday morning, the 30th of August. The swell is small at 2 ft from the NE, with a period of 10 seconds, and the combined wave energy is still weak at 108. But the wind is glassy, and that’s a major positive. The conditions should be clean as a whistle, making it a decent session for a beginner or someone just wanting to get wet. The break is fairly consistent, but expect crowds are possible.

The energy starts to build into the following week. By Monday the 31st of August, the swell is pushing 7 ft from the NNE, but the period is short at 6 seconds, so it’s a bit messy. The combined energy is moderate at 418. The wind is cross-off and clean, but this size is getting into the territory where it’s better for experienced surfers. The afternoon sees it climb to 8 ft from the N with a period of 8 seconds and a combined energy of 918 – that’s strong energy. The wind stays cross-off and clean. It’s not the best shaped swell, but it’s the biggest push of the forecast.

The standout, however, is the morning of the 2nd of September. The swell is 5 ft from the NNE with a period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy is a solid 526. But the big news is the wind – it’s offshore from the S at 16 mph, and the conditions are described as moderate offshore and clean. That’s the best combo of size and quality in the whole outlook. The swell direction is close to the optimum NE direction, so it should offer some decent lines. The break is fairly consistent, but crowds are possible.

After that, things taper off again. The 3rd of September sees a drop-off in quality, with a messy 7 ft swell from the E and a short period of 7 seconds, combined with cross-off wind that’s getting gusty. The combined energy is moderate at 396, but it’s not the kind of day that’ll have you rushing to the water.

So, to wrap it up: the best bet is the morning of the 2nd of September. It’s not huge, but the offshore wind and clean conditions make it the pick of the bunch. If you can’t wait that long, the glassy morning of the 30th of August is a nice little paddle, but don’t expect any power.

Stay stoked,
Rusty
