Table - best surf conditions forecast for Langs beach over the next 16 days.


Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, we’ve got a pretty quiet start. The surf is small and the conditions are ordinary for the first few days. Sunday the 12th has some tiny 2.3ft easterly swell, but the wind is all over the place – cross-off in the morning, then cross in the arvo. Not worth getting excited about. Monday and Tuesday are even worse, with onshore winds and junk surf. The swell energy is weak, topping out at just 99 (combined energy) before a brief glassy moment on Tuesday afternoon with 3.6ft from the NNW. Still, the waves are pretty ordinary.

Wednesday through Thursday morning the 16th is a total write-off – tiny, weak, and barely breaking. The combined energy drops to as low as 17. That’s a solid few days of nothing.

Then, Friday the 17th is our first real standout. The morning has clean 2ft easterly swell, cross-off wind from the SSW, and the combined energy jumps to 211. The afternoon holds up even better with 2.3ft and 251 energy. The wind stays clean and cross-off. This is a sneaky little window of quality small waves at Langs beach. It’s a beginner-friendly spot, fairly consistent, and the offshore wind is light. Crowds are possible, so keep an eye out. The water temp is about average for this time of year. Not bad for a Friday.

Saturday the 18th drops off again – cross-shore wind and only 2ft. Not great.

Now, here’s where it gets wild. Sunday the 19th sees a massive jump in swell – 14.8ft in the morning, 16.4ft in the afternoon, all from the east. The combined energy skyrockets to 3858 and 5550. That’s a serious amount of energy. But here’s the catch: the file says it’s too big for this break. The wind is offshore and clean, but the swell is just too much. This is expert-only territory, and even then, it’s questionable. If you’re a kite surfer, this could be your jam, but for paddle surfing, it’s a no-go for most.

Monday the 20th and Tuesday the 21st keep the big swell going, still 13.1ft and 11.5ft, but with cross-shore winds. The energy is still huge (3930, 3383, 2446). By Tuesday afternoon, it drops to 7.9ft, but the wind is cross-shore and the conditions are marginal.

Wednesday the 22nd is a mess – onshore wind, choppy, and only 4.3ft. Not worth it.

Then, from Thursday the 23rd through to the end of the period, we get another solid run. Thursday morning has 7.2ft easterly swell with a 13-second period, cross-off wind, and combined energy of 1768. The comment says excellent conditions for experienced surfers. That’s a standout. Friday the 24th is similar – 6.9ft, cross-off, 1366 energy. Saturday the 25th is the real gem: glassy conditions, 7.5ft, and then 8.2ft in the afternoon, with 1571 and 1850 energy. The wind is light, the waves are clean, and the period is a long 12 seconds. This is the best of the best for the whole outlook. It’s starting to get a bit big for beginners, but for anyone with a bit of experience, it’s going to be firing.

Sunday the 26th holds solid at 8.2ft, but the wind shifts onshore, making it marginal. Monday the 27th is onshore again and not great.

So, the two standouts are: Friday the 17th for clean, small waves at Langs beach, and Saturday the 25th for glassy, powerful, 8.2ft easterly swell. Get on it.

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.
