Langs beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let's get into it. The next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat and desperate for Langs beach, with only a few windows of rideable but unremarkable surf. Don't get too hyped, but there are a couple of moments where it might be worth a look if you're itching for a paddle.

We start things off with a bit of a dud on Wednesday the 12th. There's some swell around, 7ft from the NE, and the energy is moderate at 463, but the wind is a cross-shore mess and it's lumpy. Not worth your time. The water temp is sitting at 59°, which is pretty average for this time of year, and it's clean-ish on Thursday morning with a light offshore, but the swell drops to 5ft. It's surfable, but just ordinary. Don't expect much.

Thursday afternoon and all of Friday are small and clean, with waves in the 2ft to 3ft range. It's glassy at times, which is nice, but there's just not enough push. You'd be on a longboard at best, and even then, it's a bit of a struggle. The energy is weak, under 120, so you're really just bobbing around.

The weekend is a write-off. Saturday the 15th sees the swell fade to 2ft, and the wind picks up, making it poor. Sunday is more of the same, with a bit of east in the swell but no power behind it. It's flat and clean, but there's nothing to ride. You're better off doing something else.

Monday the 17th is the first slight glimmer. The swell bumps back up to 3ft from the ESE, and the morning has a moderate offshore wind. It's going to be clean, but still not really exciting. The energy is still weak at 114, so it's marginal. After that, it just fades away into almost nothing for the rest of the week. The swell is under 1ft and the energy drops to single digits. Honestly, it's dead. Theres a few days there from the 18th through the 22nd where it's just flat. You can forget about it.

Now, looking further out, there's a slight pulse of longer period swell that shows up on the 23rd and 24th from the N/NNE, but the wind is onshore and it's going to be messy. The period is around 9-11 seconds, which is something, but the swell is small and the conditions are poor. Probably not worth the paddle.

The last few days of the window, from the 25th to the 27th, show a little more energy coming in from the NE/ENE, but it's still small, hovering around 2ft to 3ft. The winds do turn offshore and cross-offshore, cleaning things up, and the energy is moderate, around 117-169. There's a chance the morning of the 27th has some clean, small waves on offer, but it's nothing special. It's a long way out, so we can't be certain, but it might be worth a look if you're desperate.

In short, there's no standout day here. The first week is a total wash, and the second week is just small and average. There are a few clean windows, but nothing with any real size or power. If you're a beginner, the bigger stuff on the 12th at 7ft might be a bit much anyway, but it's messy regardless. For everyone else, you're going to be waiting for better days. This is a proper lull.
