The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, and I'm looking at the next stretch for Langs Beach. Gotta be straight with you, it's a pretty quiet run. For the first week or so, we're looking at a lot of flat, small days with not much to get excited about. The swell energy is barely ticking over, and the conditions are often a bit messy. There's a real gap in quality surf from the start right through until the end of July.
The first real chance of anything worthwhile creeps in on Friday, July 31st. The wind goes glassy in the afternoon, which is a major plus, and we see a small pulse of 1ft swell from the NE. It's not going to be big, but that glassy surface will make it super clean for a grovel. The combined energy is still low, so keep your expectations in check.
Then on Saturday, August 1st, the swell picks up a touch to 1ft from the NE. The wind is cross-off from the SE, which will keep things tidy. The water temp is sitting at 60°, which is bang on average for this time of year, so it's not a shock to the system.
Honestly, if you're dying for a paddle, that Friday afternoon glass-off is your best bet. It's not a standout by any stretch, but it's the cleanest the waves will be. Bookmark that July 31st. The rest of the period is mostly a write-off for decent waves.
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.
