The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what we've got for Langs Beach.
Right now, it's a pretty bleak picture for the next week and a half. We're looking at a long, dry spell of tiny, weak surf. From Thursday the 10th of September all the way through to Friday the 18th, the swell is tiny—mostly around 0.7 ft to 1 ft—and the wave energy is pathetic, barely registering above a whisper. The winds are mostly cross or cross-off, keeping it clean, but there's just nothing to ride. It's a proper flat spell, so don't even bother waxing up your board until further notice.
Now, there is a flicker of hope on the horizon, but you'll have to be patient. The first real pulse of energy shows up on Saturday the 19th of September, but it looks ugly. A jump to 4 ft from the NNW, but it's a short-period, choppy mess with a fresh cross-shore wind. Not worth your time.
The one true standout in this entire 16-day window is Sunday the 20th of September. Sunday morning is where you want to be. Look for a solid 8 ft of swell from the north, with a period of 7 seconds. Now, that's a short period, so it'll be a bit sectiony, but the energy jumps up strong. And the wind is set to be a light offshore from the WSW, cleaning the faces right up. For you beginners out there, 8 ft is big and punchy, so this one is for the experienced crew only. The water temp is sitting at about 60°F, which is about average for this time of year, so a good 3/2 steamer will do the trick. Keep in mind, Langs can get a few people on it sometimes, so don't expect to have the place to yourself if this forecast holds.
Beyond that Sunday standout, the energy drops off. Monday the 21st and Tuesday the 22nd see some smaller, inconsistent leftover bumps in the 3 ft to 4 ft range, with cleaner winds, but nothing that compares to that Sunday morning window. There's a chance late on the 24th and 25th with some glassy conditions and 2 ft waves, but the energy is still low and the swell is ordinary. Stick to that Sunday morning for the best shot at a good session.
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.

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.
