The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let's break down what's brewing for Langs Beach over the next couple of weeks.
First thing, the water temp is sitting right around 60°F, which is pretty standard for this time of year, so no surprises there.
To be honest, the outlook is fairly flat and quiet for the most part. There's a big gap of nothing special from now until the 29th, with just ankle-to-knee high dribble and poor conditions. The wind is mostly messy, and the swell energy is weak, sitting in the moderate range for those early days, but the waves are just too small to get excited about.
The one standout, and I mean the only real highlight, is Wednesday morning, the 29th of July. We get a bit of a pulse. The swell hits about 3ft from the east, with a clean 13-second period. The real beauty is that wind - glassy, mate, dead flat from the south at just 3 mph. The forecast says "expect good surf conditions." That's the session to aim for.
For the rest of the run, it's a pretty grim picture. The winds turn onshore or messy, and the swell stays tiny. There's a tiny window on the 7th of August with some light offshore winds, but the swell is only around 2ft, so it's more of a longboarder's chance to get wet than anything with any punch.
So, if you're keen, pencil in the morning of the 29th. That's the pick of the fortnight. Otherwise, it's a waiting game.
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.
