The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be honest, the next couple of weeks are a tough watch for Langs Beach. We’ve got a big dry spell to get through before anything remotely worth paddling out for shows up. The good news is that the forecast points to a little window of opportunity, so don’t write the whole period off just yet.
For the first week and a half, it’s pretty grim. From Saturday the 8th through to Thursday the 14th, the surf is either flat or blown out. You’re looking at a lot of onshore wind and messy conditions. The only real glimmer in that stretch comes on Monday the 10th. The morning session will see a small 4ft swell from the north with an 8-second period. The energy is weak (195) and the waves are nothing special, but the wind is light cross-offshore, keeping it clean. It’s surfable, but very ordinary. If you’re absolutely desperate, you might get a few grovelly ones, but don’t expect any gems.
The real standouts, and the only days I’d actually mark on the calendar, come at the end of this stretch. Friday the 14th afternoon is the best bet in the whole outlook. The swell is small at 3ft from the northeast with a better 8-second period, and the wind swings cross-offshore from the west-southwest. The wave energy is moderate at 222, and more importantly, conditions are expected to be good. For a spot that’s been hammered by onshores all week, this clean window is a real treat. Given the break is exposed to the NE and that matches the swell direction, the setup is solid. Just keep in mind that this spot can get crowded sometimes.
After that, from Saturday the 15th all the way through to Sunday the 23rd, the swell drops right off. We’re talking knee-high dribble or flat spells. The energy readings are in the low double-digits or single-digits (between 4 and 65). The wind is clean and often offshore, but there’s just no water moving. It’s a classic mid-season lull for the area. Don’t hold your breath.
So, to wrap it up: the first week is a write-off, and the second week is flat. Your one chance is the afternoon of Friday the 14th. Keep an eye on it, because the conditions could line up for a few fun ones.
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.
