The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get into it for Langs beach.
Look, I gotta be straight with you – the next 16 days are shaping up to be a proper dud for Langs beach. There's no good surf on offer for the first week, from Friday the 11th through to Thursday the 17th. It's flat or near-flat with tiny, weak, messy waves. Don't bother getting wet.
The combined swell energy is just pathetic – we're talking values between 31 and 88, which is weak. The wind is mostly cross-off or onshore, just ruining the little bit of swell that tries to show up. The water temp is around 60°, which is pretty normal for this time of year, so that's not the problem.
Now, there is one very small window that's slightly less awful. On Friday the 18th of September, the morning shows a tiny pulse of 2ft from the NNE. The period is a short 6 seconds, so it's windswell, but we finally get some offshore wind from the SSW at 12 mph. The comment says "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions" and the combined energy is only 48 (weak). It's not good, but it's the best we're going to get in this entire forecast.
After that, it's back to small, weak, and cross-off until another tiny moment on the morning of Thursday the 24th of September. We see 1.5ft from the NE with an 8-second period, but the wind turns glassy from the WNW. The report calls it "glassy" with "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions" and a combined energy of 66 (still weak). It's clean, but there's barely any power behind it. For a beginner, it might be a session, but for anyone else, you'll be doing more bobbing than riding.
So, the standout choice here is bleak. There isn't one. If you're desperate, the offshore wind on the morning of the 18th makes it the least terrible option. The glassy morning of the 24th is a close second, but the swell is even smaller. Just don't get your hopes up. This is a tough stretch for Langs beach.

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.
