Alright, this is Rusty checkin' in from Langs Beach. Lookin' at the charts for the next couple of weeks, and honestly, it's a tough stretch. There's no surf on offer right now and things aren't lookin' great for a while. We're starin' down a long gap from now until maybe the tail end of the first week before we might see anything worth paddlin' out for.
Let's break it down. The first real chance for a session is early on Saturday, July 5th. There's a weak, 3 ft easterly swell pushin' in at around an 11-second period from the east. It's small and pretty marginal though, with a light cross-shore wind. The combined energy is only moderate at 311. It's not gonna be epic, maybe somethin' for the longboard or a foiler to poke around on, but nothin' to get excited about.
The whole first week is basically a write-off. Swell stays inconsistent and under 3 ft for most of it, with onshore winds and poor conditions. The water temp is sittin' about normal for this time of year at 62°, so that's no surprise.
There is a bit of a spike in size on Tuesday, July 8th, with a 6 ft swell from the north-northeast, but it's a short-period windswell (7 seconds) and is goin' to be a messy, choppy mess with onshore winds. The combined energy is high at 410, but it's just gonna be blown out. That one's for the kite surfers, not us paddle guys.
We finally see conditions clean up on Thursday, July 10th into the weekend. The swell drops right back to 3 ft, but the wind goes offshore from the south-southwest. It'll be clean, but tiny. You'd be lookin' at clean ankle-to-knee-high rollers for a log, and that's bein' generous.
After that, it's a steep drop-off. From Sunday, July 13th right through to the end of the forecast, we're lookin' at flat spells. There's a tiny bump of 1 ft with glassy conditions on Tuesday, July 15th, but it's not enough to get your fins wet. The combined energy is barely a whisper at 42.
The real kicker comes on Thursday, July 17th. A solid 7 ft northern swell rolls in, but it's slammed by a 25-31 mph onshore gale from the northeast. That's a nasty, dangerous, blown-out mess with a combined energy of 517. That's not surf; that's a survival mission. Stay on the beach for that one.
So, lookin' at the whole 16 days, there are no standouts. The best you could hope for is a tiny, clean but weak window around the 10th and 11th of July if you're desperate for a paddle. Otherwise, it's a long, quiet run. Sometimes it just goes like that here.

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.
