Langs beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s cookin’ for Langs beach over the next couple of weeks. I gotta be straight with you right off the bat – the first week or so is a real struggle. We’ve got a long, dry spell before anything worth paddling out for shows up.

The whole run starts with a bit of a dud. From Friday the 31st of July, right through to the morning of Friday the 14th of August, it’s mostly tiny, weak, and messy. There’s a little pulse on Sunday the 2nd of August with some 4 ft swell from the east and a clean offshore wind, but the period is a short 7 seconds, so it’s gonna be pretty weak and junky. The combined energy is only 166 (moderate wave energy), so it’s not really worth getting excited about. The water temp is sitting at about 60°, which is pretty normal for this time of year.

The real standout, and honestly the only true window we’ve got, is the afternoon of Friday the 14th of August. This is the one to circle on the calendar. The forecast is showing a solid 7 ft swell from the north, with a clean offshore wind from the south-southwest at 9 mph. That’s a proper, clean look. The swell period is 7 seconds, so it’s a bit short-period, but the energy is there – combined energy of 501 (strong wave energy). This is gonna be a punchy, fun wave for the crew that knows what they’re doing. Just a heads up – at 7 ft, this is getting into the expert-only zone, so if you’re a beginner, sit this one out.

The weekend after that, on the 15th of August, the swell drops back down to 3 ft and the conditions are clean but much smaller. It’s surfable, but it’s not the highlight.

So, to sum it up: the first two weeks are a write-off. The best bet is that Friday afternoon on the 14th of August. It’s a long way out, so keep an eye on the charts, but it’s the only real pulse we’ve got. The rest is for the kites or the beach walk.

Rusty.
