The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk in feet and miles per hour. Rusty here, and I’m looking at Langs beach for the next couple of weeks. Let’s call it what it is: a whole lot of nothing for a long time.
We kick off on Wednesday the 2nd with a long stretch of ankle-biters. The swell is mostly 0.7ft to 1ft, with the combined energy sitting in the weak range (15 to 66). The wind is often side or side-offshore, but when the waves are that small, it doesn’t matter. The water temp is about 59°, dead average for this time of year. There’s a real gap with no worthwhile surf for the first week and a half.
There’s a tiny glimmer on Thursday the 10th. The afternoon goes glassy, with a 1ft wave from the NE, but it’s got a long period of 14 seconds. That’s a groundswell, so it’ll have some push, but it’s just a dribble. The next morning, Friday the 11th, offers a clean offshore breeze from the SSE, with the same tiny 1ft, 13-second NE swell. It’s surfable, but you’d be lying if you called it good.
The only real standout for the whole 16 days, and I say that with a heavy heart, is on Tuesday the 15th. We get a 4ft wave from the east in the morning. The period is a short 7 seconds, so it’s windswell, and it’s coming with a cross-onshore breeze. The combined energy hits 273 (moderate), but the wind direction and short period will make it a choppy, lumpy mess. This is one for the hardcore locals only, not for the faint of heart.
Look, Langs beach is pretty much flat for the majority of this forecast. The small stuff is too weak, and the one pulse of size is messy. If you’ve got a longboard and a lot of patience, the 10th and 11th are your best bet for the cleanest, most organised tiny waves, but it’s a real stretch.
Rusty, out.

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.
