The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty comin' to you from Langs Beach. Let's talk about what's on the table for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, for the first week and a half, it's a bit of a tough slog. The surf is just not happening. We've got a long stretch of tiny, weak, and messy waves that only a desperate soul would paddle out for. There's a pretty big gap from the start right through to the middle of the second week where there's really nothing worth getting out of bed for. The water temp is sitting at 60°, which is about normal for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The one bright spot that finally shows up is on Tuesday, 11th August. The morning at Langs Beach is offering up some 4ft of swell from the NE, with a period of 8 seconds. Now, the combined energy is moderate (228), and the winds are light and cross-off from the WSW, keeping the surface clean. It's a solid, clean little wave that will be fun for a paddle. The afternoon stays clean with 4ft swell from the NE (229 energy), but it drops off a bit.
This is the only real standout in the whole 16-day window. It's a bit of a wait, but that Tuesday morning session looks like the one to aim for. The rest of the time, the conditions are just too ordinary, with onshore winds, short-period windswell, or flat spells. The breaks are inconsistent, so a run like this isn't totally out of the ordinary for the area.
That's how it's shaping up. Keep your fingers crossed for a change in the forecast.
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.
