Alright, gang, Rusty here with the lowdown on Langs Beach. Fair warning: this is a long, slow stretch. The first chance to paddle out isn't until Friday morning, July 3rd. Before that, it's totally dead, so don't bother.

Kicking off Friday morning the 3rd, we've got some east swell coming in. It's not big, about 4ft, from the east with an 11-second period – that's a proper groundswell. The wind is light and cross-offshore from the ESE at 6 mph, so the waves should be clean. The water temp is sitting at 62°, which is normal for this time of year. The combined energy is moderate, at 377. That morning session is your best window. The afternoon gets more cross-shore and the quality drops.

Langs is a fairly consistent beginner spot, but sometimes it gets a crowd, so expect some company. Just remember, the swell is coming from the east, but the break works best with a northeast swell, so it's not a perfect match, but it's doable.

Saturday the 4th and Sunday the 5th are a bust with onshore winds and sloppy conditions. That trend sticks around. To be honest, from the 4th all the way through to July 14th, it's a rough run. The swell is tiny, the wind is all over the place, and the energy readings are often in the low hundreds or even the double digits, which is weak. We see some clean-looking cross-offshore wind on the 8th, 9th, and 10th, but the waves are tiny, like 2ft to 4ft, and the outlook is poor. It's a long, frustrating wait.

There's one little window for the hardcore longboarders on Monday morning, July 13th. The wind goes completely glassy, dead calm from the SSW at just 3 mph. The swell is a pathetic 1ft from the ESE, but it's clean. It's small, but that glassy surface can be some of the best fun you'll have.

The next time the swell kicks up is Wednesday morning, July 15th. We see a 4ft swell from the ENE, but the period is a short, choppy 6 seconds. The wind is a fresh 19 mph onshore from the NNE. That's a straight-up mess – very poor conditions. That's a day for the kite surfers, not for a paddle.

The final stretch has a chance on Friday, July 17th with a clean offshore wind at 19 mph from the SSE, but the swell is only 3ft. The following Saturday, the 18th, has a 4ft swell with a short 7-second period and moderate cross-offshore wind.

So, the one to circle on the calendar is Friday morning, July 3rd at Langs Beach. It's the only time in this whole 16-day forecast where we get a decent swell, clean wind, and a bit of energy. After that, it’s a long dry spell.

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.

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.
