The Lowdown
Rusty here again, giving you the same picture in feet and Fahrenheit. This stretch is a quiet one, no doubt. The first nine or ten days are a whole lot of nothing, with only the tail end of the window offering a glimmer.
From Tuesday the 15th through to Wednesday the 30th of September, the surf at Langs beach is barely a ripple. Swell heights sit around 0.3 ft to a foot for most days, flat and clean but with zero push. A short bump on the 17th afternoon sees 5 ft, but with a 6-second period and a cross-onshore breeze of 16 mph, it’s rough and not worth your time.
Wave energy is in the doldrums. The combined energy sits at 7 to 56 (weak) for almost the whole run. Even the moderate spike of 213 on the 17th is too short-period and wind-affected. You’re better off waiting.
That Thursday afternoon of the 24th of September is your only real shot. Langs beach picks up a 4 ft swell from the ESE with a 9-second period, giving it some shape and power. The wind turns offshore from the SSW at 16 mph, cleaning it up nicely. The combined energy hits 207 (moderate), so you’ll get some proper waves for the first time in ages. Water temperature sits at about 60°F, which is normal for the season.
Everything after that drops right back to ankle-slappers, under a foot through the 25th to the 30th. It’s clean, but empty. A blank stretch like this happens, but remember – things can change quickly. Keep an eye on it.
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.
