Right, listen up, folks. Rusty here. It's gonna be a bit of a mixed bag over the next couple of weeks, so let's get into it.
The good news is we’re seeing some windows of clean surf, especially early on, but don’t get too excited too far out. The water temp is sitting about average for the time of year.
Langs beach is the only break in the game, and it starts off pretty ordinary. Wednesday morning, the 8th of July, we’ve got tiny 2ft easterly swell, but that cross-off wind is just messy. Not worth paddling out.
Thursday the 9th looks a bit better with the wind going offshore, dropping that 3ft east swell clean. It’s small though, and the energy is weak (136). Friday the 10th is a step up – offshore winds again, with a 4ft ESE swell showing moderate energy (218). It’s a solid, clean option.
Now, the standout. Saturday the 11th is your pick. We’ve got a 5ft ESE swell with a 10-second period, and the combined energy is kicking at (635). It’s not huge, but the wind is light cross-off, keeping it clean. This is the best of the bunch, folks. It’s a beginner-friendly size, so it’s good for a wide crew, but keep in mind the crowds are *sometimes* an issue here.
Sunday the 12th morning goes glassy with a tiny 2ft east swell, but the energy is weak (100). It’s workable if you’re desperate.
After that, we hit a rough patch. From Monday the 13th right through to Wednesday the 22nd of July, the surf gets choppy, blown out, or just plain small. There are days with onshore wind and weak, jumbled swell that won't even be worth a look. It’s a proper dry spell.
One last flicker of hope – on Thursday the 16th of July, we get a glassy morning with a 3ft east swell, but the period is a very long 15 seconds. That long period stuff can break straight at a beach break like Langs, so it might be a bit wonky, but the energy is there (330). It’s a long-range call, so don’t bank on it.
Overall, get out there Saturday for the real fun, and maybe a session Friday. The rest of the fortnight is looking pretty quiet.
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.
