Langs beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s look at what’s coming up for Langs beach. To be straight with you, it’s looking like a pretty quiet stretch for the most part.

We’ve got a long, flat spell right out of the gate. For the first week and a half, from Tuesday the 1st right through to the end of the second week, there’s nothing really worth paddling out for. The swell is tiny, mostly under 2 ft, and what little energy there is just gets blown out by cross-off or cross-shore winds. The water temp is about 59°, which is normal for the time of year, so no surprises there.

The first real standout happens on Saturday, September 12th. That morning, we see a jump in size with a 8 ft swell from the ESE, packing a solid 1245 combined energy. That’s a serious amount of juice. The wind is a clean cross-off from the SW, so the face should be fairly lined up. However, that size is in the expert-only zone, and the period is only 8 seconds – a short-period wind swell – so it’ll be a bit lumpy and won’t have that long, drawn-out wall. The afternoon drops to 5 ft and 330 energy, still good for a strong intermediate session, but again, it’s a short-period swell. This is a beach break setup, so expect it to be a bit dumpy.

The next day, Sunday the 13th, has a smaller but still fun wave in the morning – 3 ft from the NE with 227 energy and a 9-second period. Winds stay clean from the WSW. It’s a much more manageable size for most surfers, but the energy is moderate. After that, it drops right back off to nothing.

The best on offer is the Saturday morning, September 12th, for the sheer power and size, but only if you’re experienced. For the average surfer, Sunday the 13th morning is the pick of the litter, with clean conditions and a proper wave. Just remember, this is a beach break, so the long-period groundswells we’re not getting here would be better at a point or reef.

Don’t get too excited about the rest – it’s a long, flat run. That’s how it goes sometimes.

Rusty.
