Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s lining up for Langs beach over the next couple of weeks.

It’s a bit of a slow start, to be honest. We’ve got a few days of smaller, clean-ish waves from the 11th to the 13th, but the energy is pretty weak (combined energy around 203 down to 39). The water temp is sitting at 61°, which is about average for this time of year, so nothing wild there. The wind is mostly cross-off or light, so the surf will be tidy, but the size is really only in the 3 ft to 3 ft range. It’s surfable for a beginner or someone just wanting to get wet, but it’s nothing to get excited about.

Then we hit a real dry spell from the 14th to the 17th. The swell drops off, the wind gets messy, and the scores are low. There’s a brief flicker on the morning of the 17th with a 2 ft, long-period groundswell from the east (16 seconds) and a clean cross-off breeze, but the energy is still weak (199), and it’s just ordinary. From the 14th through the 18th, it’s mostly poor to marginal, so you’re looking at a solid 4-to-5-day gap with nothing worth paddling out for.

Now, the outlook starts to get interesting around the 19th. Sunday the 19th morning sees a jump in size to 5 ft from the north, with a clean cross-off breeze and a moderate combined energy of 497. That’s a solid improvement. But the real standout is the afternoon of the 19th. The wind goes glassy, the swell pumps up to 8 ft from the east, and the energy skyrockets to 1147. That’s a powerful, punchy wave. The period is short (7 seconds), so it’ll be a bit crumbly, but for experienced surfers, that’s a great session. Langs beach is exposed, so it’ll catch that east swell nicely.

The 20th and 21st get wild. The swell hits 16 ft with a massive energy reading (over 5500). That’s way too big for this break, and it’s only for experts who are comfortable in heavy conditions. The 22nd and 23rd settle down into a much better window. Wednesday the 22nd is a beauty: 7 ft to 7 ft from the east-northeast, long period at 12 seconds, and clean offshore winds in the morning. The energy is high (over 1300), and the conditions are described as excellent for experienced surfers. Thursday the 23rd is also very good, with 5 ft from the east, 11-second period, and light offshore winds. That’s a great run of quality surf.

After that, it fades out again. The 24th brings some chop and rain, and the 25th and 26th are poor with onshore winds and dropping swell. So, the best of the outlook is definitely the 19th afternoon for the glassy, powerful 8 ft, and the 22nd through 23rd for the clean, long-period groundswell. Get on it if you can.

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.
