Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it. We’ve got a 16-day outlook for Langs Beach, and to be honest, it’s a bit of a mixed bag. We’re looking at a long stretch of small, average surf before a solid pulse of energy shows up, but it comes with some serious wind baggage.

The opening window is nothing to write home about. Thursday morning, July 9th, we’ve got small 3ft surf from the ESE with a 10-second period. The combined energy is weak (171). The water temp is sitting at 61°, which is about normal for this time of year, nothing weird there. The wind is offshore from the south but fresh at 19 mph, so it’ll be clean but a bit bumpy from the breeze. It’s surfable, but it’s pretty ordinary.

Friday morning, July 10th, sees a small bump. Height picks up to 5ft from the SE, still with a 10-second period, and the energy jumps to a moderate 345. The wind is a moderate offshore from the SSW at 16 mph, so it’s cleaner and has a bit more push. This is probably the best of the first week, but it’s still just average surf.

Saturday and Sunday, July 11th and 12th, drop back down. Heights are around 4ft to 2ft with light cross-offshore winds, keeping it clean but small. The energy is weak, dropping into double digits. It’s a good time for a longboard or a beginner to get wet, but there’s no power.

Then we hit a real dry spell. From Monday, July 13th, through to Friday, July 17th, the surf is mostly poor. There’s a tiny bump on Friday morning, July 17th, with 3ft from the east and a 14-second period, but the wind is onshore. Friday afternoon gets glassy with a 2ft groundswell from the east, but it’s tiny. The energy is still moderate (346), but the size is for the foamies.

Now, here’s where it gets interesting. The standout session is Saturday, July 18th. The morning sees 8ft from the NE with a short 7-second period, but the combined energy is a strong 655. The wind is a light cross-offshore from the ESE, making it clean. The afternoon is even bigger, with 8ft from the NNE and energy hitting 821. Still a cross-off breeze. This is the best on offer, but at 8ft, it’s heading into expert territory. The short period will make it a bit lumpy and less organized, so it’s more for the experienced crew on a bigger board.

But hold on. Sunday, July 19th, through Monday, July 20th, the swell gets huge—12ft to 10ft—but the wind comes on strong. We’re talking near gale-force cross-shore winds at 25-31 mph. The energy is massive (over 2000), but the conditions are messy and dangerous. This is not a paddle session; this is a kite session or a straight-up skip. The swell is too big and the wind is too strong for any pleasant surfing.

The last few days, from Tuesday, July 21st, to Friday, July 24th, drop back down. Swell is 6ft to 2ft with mostly onshore or cross-shore winds. The energy is moderate to weak. The setup is not great for a paddle, and the wind is likely to keep it choppy.

So, bottom line: For a true surfer, the best bet is Saturday, July 18th. It’s a solid, clean, 8ft to 8ft day from the NE, but it’s for the experts. If you’re a beginner, the Friday morning, July 10th, with the 5ft clean swell is your window. The rest of the time, it’s small, weak, or wind-blown.

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.

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.
