The Lowdown
Well, folks, let's have a look at the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it's a pretty quiet outlook for Langs beach. There's a real lull to start, with nothing on offer for the first couple of days. Surf is tiny, and the conditions are just flat. The first real sign of life doesn't show up until Friday morning, the 17th of July.
That Friday morning is the standout of the whole period. We've got a little 2 ft swell rolling in from the east, and the period is a super long 17 seconds. That's proper groundswell energy, and it’s pushing a moderate combined energy of 293 in the water. The wind is offshore from the WSW at just 6 mph, keeping things clean. It’s small, but that long period should give it some shape. The water temp is sitting at 61°F, which is about average for the time of year.
The afternoon fades a bit, and Saturday drops back down. The rest of the window is mostly small, weak, and ordinary. There's a brief window on Tuesday morning, the 21st of July, with a clean 3 ft swell from the ENE, but the period is a short 6 seconds, so it's not going to have much push. The wind is light and offshore, though, so it might be surfable if you're desperate.
After that, it's back to tiny waves and poor conditions right through to the end of the month. Don't even bother with the last week—it's a write-off for the most part.
So, to sum it up: your best bet is Friday morning, the 17th of July. It's not big, but it’s the cleanest, most promising session in the whole 16-day window.

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.
