The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s cooking for Langs beach over the next couple of weeks. It’s a bit of a slow burner, but there are a couple of windows that’ll get the heart pumping.

Right now, we’re in a flat spell. The first few days offer nothing but tiny, weak dribble. Saturday the 1st has a tiny 1ft swell from the ESE, but it’s paired with a glassy morning, so it’s clean. The water is sitting at 60°, which is about average for this time of year. The energy is a measly (80), so don’t expect much push. After that, it’s a real dry spell through to the end of the first week—mostly small, weak waves with poor conditions. We’re looking at a gap of several days with nothing worth paddling out for.

The first real standout comes on Sunday the 9th. The morning shows a 5ft swell from the NNE with glassy conditions and light rain. The wind is practically nothing from the SW, making it a glassy morning. The combined energy is moderate (209), and the waves are expected to be good. The afternoon stays glassy with a 4ft NNE swell and even better energy (201). This is the pick of the first week, so mark it down.

Now, the real excitement is shaping up for the second week. Wednesday the 12th morning is a beauty. We’ve got a 5ft swell from the NE with a 10-second period, glassy conditions from the ENE, and very strong combined energy (503). Expect very good surf conditions. This is a solid groundswell, and with the long period, it’ll have some real shape and power, though it might be a bit walled up at a beach break. The wind is offshore, so it’ll be clean.

But the absolute standout of the whole forecast is Thursday the 13th morning. The swell is pushing 8ft from the NNE, but it’s a short-period 6-second wind swell. The combined energy is a whopping (722). The wind is glassy from the NW. This is a big, powerful, and clean morning. However, at 8ft, this is expert territory. It’s going to be a heavy, powerful day, not for the faint of heart. The crowds are likely here, so get in early.

After that, the surf drops off quickly. Friday the 14th afternoon has a clean 4ft swell from the NE with a 10-second period and moderate energy (357), but the conditions are only good, not great. The weekend of the 15th and 16th is a write-off with strong, gusty winds ruining the clean 3ft to 5ft swells.

So, to wrap it up: Sunday the 9th is your first decent session. But the real magic is Wednesday the 12th morning and the big, powerful Thursday the 13th morning. The rest is a long gap of flatness or poor conditions. Stay patient, and you’ll be rewarded.

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.
