Langs beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s get into it.

Honestly, the next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat and ordinary. We’ve got a real lack of any proper swell energy heading our way, and the wind is going to be a pain for most of it. There are a few small windows where it might clean up, but nothing that’s going to have you calling in sick for.

The only real glimmer of hope is on Sunday the 9th. The morning is a write-off with light rain and a cross-onshore wind, but by the afternoon the wind drops right out to glassy conditions. We’re looking at 6ft of swell from the north, with a period of 6 seconds. The energy is moderate (222), but it’s a short-period windswell, so it’ll be a bit lumpy and disorganized. It’s not going to be pretty, but it’s the only time we see anything over 3ft with clean conditions. If you’re keen for a paddle, that’s your window, but keep the expectations on the floor.

After that, the swell drops back down and we’re just chasing scraps. Monday the 10th has some clean, cross-offshore conditions with about 4ft from the north, but it's ordinary at best. Then the wind swings around to the northeast and onshore for a few days, which just chops everything up. There’s a bit of energy showing on Friday the 14th with 6ft from the NNE, but the onshore wind and storm risk will ruin it. It’s not worth your time.

The following Saturday, the 15th, brings a bit of a change. It’s looking cleaner with a WSW cross-offshore breeze, and there’s 4ft of NNE swell with a 9-second period. Combined energy is moderate (265). It's a brief taste of something a bit better, but it's still not great. By the afternoon, the wind picks up and it's messy again.

From there on, it’s a slow fade to nothing. The swell just drains away. The energy levels drop into the weak range, and we’re looking at knee-high slop. Even when the wind goes offshore and the conditions are clean, there’s no swell to push through. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

In short, don’t get too excited. We get one brief, mediocre window on Sunday the 9th afternoon, and a slightly better-looking but still small day on Saturday the 15th. If you’re desperate, go for a splash, but don’t expect any waves with any real push to them. It’s a classic flat spell for the area, and it might not break for a while.
