Langs beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let me take a look at what’s cooking for the region. The main break to focus on is Langs Beach. Right now, the water temperature is sitting at about 62°F, which is about average for this time of year, nothing weird going on there.

First, let's talk about the overall pattern. The next week or so is a mixed bag, but we do have a couple of moments that are worth paddling out for. It starts off promising on Friday morning, July 3rd. We’ve got a clean 4ft east swell rolling in with a decent 11-second period, and a light cross-offshore breeze from the ESE at about 6 mph. The combined swell energy is moderate at 377, so you’ll feel some push. Langs Beach is an exposed spot, looking for that NE optimum, so this east swell is doing okay. That Friday morning window is actually the standout for the near term – clean, manageable, and with that light wind, it’ll be smooth. Be aware, though, this break can get crowded sometimes, so get in early.

Now, after that, things drop off quick. Friday afternoon goes marginal, and then Saturday and Sunday (July 4th and 5th) are a write-off with onshore winds. Monday through to the middle of the following week is mostly poor, with small, choppy surf or strong onshore winds. There’s a little glimmer on Wednesday morning, July 8th – we get a clean 3ft swell with a short 7-second period, but the wind finally turns offshore from the south. That afternoon on the 8th, we see a 4ft swell, 8-second period, with a gentle offshore breeze. The combined energy is moderate (220), and it’s labeled as “expect good surf conditions.” That’s a solid, if modest, option for a mid-week session.

From July 9th through to the 14th, it’s mostly tiny and weak – we’re talking knee-to-waist high at best, with combined energy dropping below 100 for a few days. There’s a long gap of very poor to marginal surf.

Then, on July 18th, the models are hinting at something big. The Saturday morning shows a 12ft swell from the NNE, with a short 8-second period, but the combined energy is massive at 1622. The wind is light from the SW, offshore, so it’ll be clean. But mate, that is way too big for Langs Beach, which is an exposed beach setup. The data says it’s too big for this break. This one is for absolute experts only, if anyone is silly enough to try. The afternoon is even bigger at 13ft. That’s not a surf day for most of us – it’s a watch-from-the-cliffs day. This is a long-range call, so keep an eye on it, but take it with a grain of salt for now.

So, the standout is clear: Friday morning, July 3rd, and a secondary call on Wednesday, July 8th. The rest of the week is mostly a write-off for decent waves.
