Table - best surf conditions forecast for Langs beach over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s talk about Langs Beach in the next couple of weeks, in feet and degrees. The water temp is 16°, which is about normal for the time of year.
The first week is pretty slim. Wednesday morning the 8th sees a 2ft easterly swell, with a cross-offshore wind and weak energy (237). Period of 11 seconds gives it a bit of push, but it’s only a so-so session. Thursday morning the 9th offers 3ft easterly with a nice offshore breeze at 9 mph, making for clean conditions, but the energy is still low (164). That’s the best of the bunch until the weekend.
Friday morning the 10th has 2ft easterly with a moderate offshore – okay for a quiet surf. Saturday morning the 11th brings 3ft easterly with light cross-offshore winds, still only ordinary. Sunday the 12th drops to 2ft.
Then from Monday 13th to Thursday 16th, it’s a real dry spell. Swell is tiny, under 2ft, with onshore or cross winds and very low energy. A few sessions are nearly glassy, like Wednesday morning the 15th with 0.7ft easterly, but there’s no power.
Friday 17th morning jumps to 6ft from the ENE, but the wind is a fresh cross-shore, and it’s a messy short-period swell (6 seconds). The energy is strong (257), but conditions are poor – more for kite surfers.
The real standout is Tuesday, July 21st, two weeks out. The morning shows a massive 12ft easterly swell, 11-second period, and cross-offshore 19 mph winds. The energy reading is massive (5736). That’s expert territory and likely too big for this break, so only for the most skilled. That’s the only true standout in the whole outlook. It’s promising but a long way off.
For the rest, it’s a long stretch of flatness, but with Langs Beach being fairly consistent, it won’t stay poor forever.
Rusty out.

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.
