The Lowdown

Alright, let’s get into it.

Honestly, the next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat and ordinary. We’ve got a real lack of any proper swell energy heading our way, and the wind is going to be a pain for most of it. There are a few small windows where it might clean up, but nothing that’s going to have you calling in sick for.

The only real glimmer of hope is on Sunday the 9th. The morning is a write-off with light rain and a cross-onshore wind, but by the afternoon the wind drops right out to glassy conditions. We’re looking at 6ft of swell from the north, with a period of 6 seconds. The energy is moderate (222), but it’s a short-period windswell, so it’ll be a bit lumpy and disorganized. It’s not going to be pretty, but it’s the only time we see anything over 3ft with clean conditions. If you’re keen for a paddle, that’s your window, but keep the expectations on the floor.

After that, the swell drops back down and we’re just chasing scraps. Monday the 10th has some clean, cross-offshore conditions with about 4ft from the north, but it's ordinary at best. Then the wind swings around to the northeast and onshore for a few days, which just chops everything up. There’s a bit of energy showing on Friday the 14th with 6ft from the NNE, but the onshore wind and storm risk will ruin it. It’s not worth your time.

The following Saturday, the 15th, brings a bit of a change. It’s looking cleaner with a WSW cross-offshore breeze, and there’s 4ft of NNE swell with a 9-second period. Combined energy is moderate (265). It's a brief taste of something a bit better, but it's still not great. By the afternoon, the wind picks up and it's messy again.

From there on, it’s a slow fade to nothing. The swell just drains away. The energy levels drop into the weak range, and we’re looking at knee-high slop. Even when the wind goes offshore and the conditions are clean, there’s no swell to push through. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

In short, don’t get too excited. We get one brief, mediocre window on Sunday the 9th afternoon, and a slightly better-looking but still small day on Saturday the 15th. If you’re desperate, go for a splash, but don’t expect any waves with any real push to them. It’s a classic flat spell for the area, and it might not break for a while.

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.

Langs beach is 41 km (25 miles) from the city of Whangarei. If you plan a holiday in Northland, look for hotels and other accommodation in Whangarei. Whangarei has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
