Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Langs beach over the next couple of weeks.
We’re looking at a pretty slow start, to be honest. The surf is a bit of a mess for the first few days, with lumpy, onshore winds and poor conditions. The water is sitting at 62°F which is about normal for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The first real glimmer of hope comes in on Wednesday, July 8th, with a small clean-up. The swell drops to 3ft from the east, but the wind swings cross-off. It’s marginal, but at least it’s clean. The combined energy is weak (243). It’s not the day to get excited, but it’s a start.
Now, Thursday, July 9th is where things get interesting. We’ve got a clean 3ft east swell with a 10-second period, and more importantly, offshore winds from the south at just 6 mph. The combined energy is still moderate (206), but the conditions are set to be clean. This is a decent window for a session, and it’s the first real standout of the forecast.
The best of the lot, though, is shaping up for Friday, July 10th. Morning sees a 4ft east-southeast swell, period around 10 seconds, and solid offshore winds from the south at 16 mph. The energy bumps up to 256 (moderate range). The wind stays offshore into the afternoon, dropping to a gentle breeze. This is the pick of the week – clean, with enough push to get into some fun ones. Expect crowds to be possible, as it’s a fairly consistent spot.
After that, the weekend and into the following week, things drop right off. The swell fades to 2ft or less through Sunday, July 12th and Monday, July 13th, with weak energy readings (92 and below). It’s a real lull. There’s a few days in the middle of next week that look awful, with strong onshore winds and poor quality.
There’s a brief, glassy moment on Friday, July 17th, with a 1ft east swell and a 10-second period, where the wind is dead calm. The energy is weak (74), but if you’re desperate for a paddle, it’s the only clean option that week. The swell is tiny, so it’s not a standout.
The rest of the outlook into the third week is a write-off. Strong winds from the northeast, heavy rain, and messy, choppy conditions. The swell stays small, under 2ft, with very weak energy. It’s a blank run for the most part, and that’s just how it goes sometimes.
So, to sum it up: Thursday, July 9th is a solid call, but Friday, July 10th is the real standout day. Get on it if you can.
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.
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.
