The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, we're looking at a pretty slow start. For the next few days, things are tiny, with waves barely a ripple. We've got a long flat spell from now until about the 9th of August. Don't bother paddling out; it's just wind chop and flatness.
The first real chance of a wave comes on Sunday, the 9th of August. The wind is howling onshore though, so it's going to be messy. The swell energy is moderate (134) but the wind is making a mess of it.
Then we get a bit of a window. Monday, the 10th of August, is the standout. The morning is looking clean with a light offshore wind from the south. We've got a 4.3ft swell from the north, with a moderate energy (224). The conditions will be clean, but it's a north swell, so check the bank. It's a beginner-friendly break, Langs beach, and it's fairly consistent.
The size bumps up a bit on Tuesday and Wednesday, with the swell hitting 5ft to 5.9ft, but the wind turns cross-onshore, making it a bit choppy. Wednesday afternoon, the 12th, is a real gem. The wind goes glassy, flat calm, and the swell is a clean 4.6ft from the north-northeast. The wave energy is moderate (259). That's a nice session if you can get it.
Be warned, from the 14th of August onwards, it gets big and wild. We're looking at solid 6.9ft to 11.5ft swell from the north, but the wind is onshore and strong. That's expert territory, and honestly, it looks more like a kite-surfing day than a paddle session. The energy gets very strong (1595) on the 14th, but the quality is poor.
The last week of the forecast is a slow fade. The swell drops right back to 0.7ft to 2ft, and the wind is all over the place. You might get a tiny, clean wave on the 21st of August, but it's going to be a grovel. The water temperature is sitting at a normal 59.4° for this time of year.
So, the best bet is definitely Monday morning the 10th, or that glassy Wednesday afternoon the 12th. Get on it while you can.

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.

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.
