Alright folks, Rusty here, and I’ve been staring at the charts for Langs beach. Let’s be real, this is a tricky 16-day outlook. The first week is mostly a write-off, but we’ve got a couple of flashes in the pan if you’re patient.
The water is sitting at a pretty normal 61°F for this time of year, so no surprises there. The whole period kicks off with a bit of a pulse on Friday, July 10th. The morning sees a 5ft swell from the SE, with a period of 10 seconds and a clean offshore wind from the SSW. The energy is moderate (407). It’s surfable, but it’s nothing to write home about – just a warm-up for the weekend.
Saturday, July 11th, is actually the pick of the first week. We’ve got a consistent 3ft wave from the East, with a 10-second period. The wind is light and offshore from the south in the morning, turning to a light cross-offshore in the afternoon. It’s clean, it’s user-friendly, and the energy is moderate (203). This is about as good as it gets for a beginner-friendly session for the next few days.
After that, it goes flat. Sunday through to Thursday the 16th is a total dead zone. Tiny waves, mixed up winds, and energy levels dropping into the double digits. You’d be wasting your time.
Now, for the true standout. Look at Friday, July 17th. The morning has a clean 2ft wave from the east, but the period jumps to a very long 17 seconds. That’s proper groundswell energy, and the combined energy is moderate (287). The wind is light and cross-offshore. This is one of those rare, clean, long-period windows. The wave height is small, but the quality will be there for a log or a fish. It’s the best of the whole run.
The following week is a mess. From Saturday, July 18th, the swell gets big, but the wind turns onshore and howls. By Sunday the 19th, we’re looking at 10ft waves from the NNE, but with 25 mph winds, it’s a washing machine. The energy is very strong (1139), and the size is purely for experts only – over 8ft is no joke. As the week goes on, it gets bigger and messier, with the swell peaking at 16ft on Tuesday the 21st. The energy numbers are astronomical (up to 5523), but the wind is cross-shore and strong. This setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, honestly. It stays blown out and lumpy right through to the end of the outlook on Saturday, July 25th.
So, to sum it up: Saturday the 11th for a fun, clean beginner wave, and Friday the 17th for the true, clean, long-period gem. The rest is either flat or a full-on, windy, expert-only beast.
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.
