The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks at Langs beach. I’ll be straight with you – the outlook is pretty lean for a while, so patience is the name of the game.

We’ve got a bit of a gap at the start here with next to nothing happening. The first few days are all tiny, blown-out, or just plain flat. The water temp is sitting around 58°, which is about average for this time of year. For the most part, you’re looking at weak, short-period swell that’s barely a ripple.

Now, if you’re holding out for a proper session, your only real shot comes on Saturday afternoon, the 29th of August. That afternoon, a clean 8ft swell from the north rolls in with a period of 7 seconds. The wave energy jumps to 632, which is strong and has some push behind it. The wind goes cross-offshore from the WSW, which should tidy things up nicely. This is likely the standout of the whole period, with Langs beach delivering the best we’ll see. The crowd factor is listed as “sometimes,” so it won't be empty. But the combination of size and clean conditions puts it a step above everything else.

Before that, expect small, messy surf. A few days later, on Tuesday morning, the 8th of September, we see a bit of a pulse – 6ft from the ESE with a short period of 8 seconds and energy reading 477. That’s a moderate to strong amount of energy, but the wind looks light and cross-onshore, which isn’t doing us any favours. The forecast says “marginal,” so it’s one for the die-hards only. That would be a secondary option if you’re desperate.

Otherwise, the second week is pretty quiet. Tiny swells, mostly under 1ft to 3ft, with clean winds but just not enough oomph. The session on the 29th is the one to circle on the calendar. Most of the rest, you’re better off doing something else.

Stay tuned, forecasts can change. Rusty out.

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.

Langs beach is 41 km (25 miles) from the city of Whangarei. If you plan a holiday in Northland, look for hotels and other accommodation in Whangarei. Whangarei has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
