The Lowdown
Rusty here, lookin’ at the next stretch for Langs Beach. Gotta be straight with you—this is a quiet spell for the coast. The first few days are pretty much a write-off, with barely a ripple and no quality. We’re talking a gap of nearly two weeks of nothing you’d paddle out for. The water’s sitting at about 59°, which is bang on average for the time of year, so no weirdness there.
The first faint glimmer doesn’t show up until Monday, August 10th. Early morning, we get a clean little bump from the north at 4ft, but it’s weak—combined energy (219) and the wind is a light offshore from the south, so the surface will be tidy. It’s not a standout, just a glimmer for the keen. The afternoon sees the swell drop to 4ft, with a cross-off breeze, but it’s ordinary.
The rest of that week stays messy. Tuesday the 11th gets choppy and onshore, Wednesday the 12th has a small window of clean surf in the afternoon with a 4ft north-northeast swell, but it’s nothing special. Thursday and Friday are blown out or too strong to bother.
Now, the one true standout lands on Saturday, August 22nd. This is a big call, so mark your calendar. We’ve got a clean morning with a 12ft swell from the northeast, period 8 seconds, and the wind’s light from the west, keeping it glassy. Combined energy is massive at 1387, but here’s the catch—that’s a lot of water. At 12ft, this is for experts only. Langs Beach is an exposed beach break, and with a short period, it’s gonna be a heavy, dumpy wall. The afternoon bumps up to 13ft and 2586 energy, which is just too big for anyone. If you’re a seasoned charger, the morning session could be a wild ride, but it’s not for the faint-hearted or beginners.
Long story short: the first week is a dud, the second week has one real shot for the brave on the 22nd. Keep an eye on the charts, but don’t hold your breath for the rest.
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.
