The Lowdown

Alright, let’s take a look at what’s on the table for Langs Beach.

Honestly, mate, it’s a tough stretch ahead. We’ve got a pretty grim 16-day outlook here with very little to get excited about. The swell is small for the vast majority of the period, and when it does show a pulse, the wind and conditions just aren’t lining up. The first few days into early September are a write-off – poor surf, scrappy little waves, and a persistent cross-off breeze that’s not doing us any favours.

From the 4th into the 5th, we see a brief blip of energy – tiny 3ft NNE swell on Friday morning with a very short period of 4 seconds, so it’s weak and messy. The combined energy is only 56 (weak). Not worth paddling out for. Saturday is even smaller – 1ft from the north with no power.

Things stay flat and generally ordinary right through until around the 8th of September. That Tuesday morning we get a jump in size with a 5ft NNW swell, period of 7 seconds, and combined energy of 319 (moderate). Sounds promising, but the wind is a moderate cross-shore and the conditions are described as poor. It’s messy and lumpy – not the clean, lined-up surf we’re after.

The only real standout window – and I mean *only* – is the morning of Thursday the 10th of September. We’ve got 6ft of north swell, period of 7 seconds, combined energy of 297 (moderate). The wind is cross-off from the WSW at 25 km/h, and the wave comment says *marginal surf forecast or questionable tide conditions* – but it’s clean. That’s the closest we get to a looker, but honestly, 6ft on a beach break like Langs with that period can be a bit dumpy and hard to handle if you’re not on your game. Might be a bit much for beginners. The bigger swell and persistent cross-off wind actually make this setup look more interesting for the kite crew than paddle surfing.

After that, it’s back to a long, flat gap. From the 11th right through to the end of the period on the 14th, we’re looking at tiny, weak swells – nothing over 3ft, most days below 2ft, and the combined energy is barely registering (under 100). The water temp is about average for the time of year, so no drama there.

You won’t need your wetsuit for any sessions worth writing home about. If you’re desperate, keep an eye on that Thursday the 10th – but don’t hold your breath.

Stay patient,
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.

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.
