The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ over the next couple weeks.
Well, I gotta be straight with ya – this is a pretty bleak stretch for Langs beach. We’re lookin’ at a long, dry spell with barely a ripple worth paddlin’ for, especially the first week and a half. The water temp is sittin’ right around average for this time of year, so nothin’ unusual there.
We don’t even get a sniff of decent surf until Saturday the 12th of September. That’s over a week of flat, weak, or just plain sloppy conditions. The northerly winds early in the second week are blowin’ straight onshore, churnin’ up that small, weak stuff, so no point even lookin’ at it.
Now, there is one moment that stands out, and it’s on Saturday the 12th of September. It’s nothin’ epic, but it’s the best we’ve got. First thing Saturday morning, the wind drops to glassy – dead calm. The swell is 3.6 ft from the north with a short period of 5 seconds, and the combined energy is weak, but at least it’s clean. The score is surfable but very ordinary. If you’re desperate for a paddle and want a clean little wave, this is your window. The glassy wind is a major plus for the conditions we’ve been seein’. Expect crowds possible though, ’cause everyone else will be desperate too.
That very same afternoon, the wind howls back up to a fresh breeze, messin’ it up again. Then Sunday the 13th of September has some small, clean waves again but it’s even weaker.
Honestly, the pick of a very bad bunch is that Saturday morning session on the 12th. After that, September 14th brings some east swell with a longer period of 11 seconds, but it’s tiny at 2.3 ft and the wind is cross-off so it’ll be clean, but you’ll be huntin’ for shin-high dribblers.
Keep your expectations low, mates. That’s the lot.

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.
