The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you – if you're looking to get wet in the coming weeks, you're gonna have to be patient. I've combed through the numbers and honestly, it's a pretty bleak stretch for Langs beach. The swells are just too weak and the winds are fussy, leaving us with surf that's pretty much flat and messy.
The first glimmer of something with a bit of push shows up on the 6th of September, Sunday afternoon, but the wind is a cross-on mess and the wave energy is only moderate at best (107). You really wouldn't want to paddle out for that short-period 4ft stuff. The rest of that first week is a write-off – small, choppy, or cross-shore. We go from the 4th right through to the 7th of September without a single decent session.
Things clean up quite a bit from the 7th of September, Monday afternoon, through the rest of the run. We get a lot of clear skies and clean conditions with light offshore or cross-off breezes, which is a major positive. But the problem is the height. We're talking 1.0ft to 1ft waves (56 to 83 energy) for days on end. Even with glassy conditions, there's just not enough push for a proper ride. That long-period groundswell (13-14 seconds) from the NE is a nice idea, but it's too weak to do anything substantial at a beach break like this. You'd be waiting forever for a knee-high set.
So, what's the call? If I had to pick the *closest* thing to a standout, I'd look at the afternoons of the 10th to the 12th of September, and then the 16th of September. The wind is clean and the long-period swell, though tiny, means the wave quality will be as good as it gets for the size. But we're talking about surf that's best for a longboard or a foiler, if you're keen. For a proper wave, there's nothing here.
To be honest, with the consistent lack of swell height and the wind being either wrong or too strong for the little bumps we get, this setup looks a lot more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddler. It's not your week.
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.

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.
