The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Langs beach.
First up, the water is sitting at 60°F, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so nothing weird going on there.
To be honest, the next week and a bit is a tough watch. The first solid bit of action doesn't show up until late on Monday the 11th of August. Before that, we’ve got a whole lot of flat, weak, and messy conditions. Thursday the 6th through to Sunday the 9th is a write-off with tiny, poor surf. Sunday the 9th does see a bit of a push in size – up to 5ft from the N – but it’s a short-period windswell and the wind is howling onshore at 15-18 mph. That’s choppy, blown-out, and not worth paddling for. That combined energy climbs to 230, so there’s push, but it’s ugly.
Monday the 10th stays onshore and messy, but you can see the energy building. Then, things finally turn around on Tuesday the 11th of August. The morning is still a bit lumpy with onshore wind, but Tuesday afternoon is where it’s at. The wind swings to a light W at 3 mph and goes glassy. The swell is a solid 7ft from the NNE with a 9-second period, giving us a combined energy of 645. That’s moderate to strong energy, and the glassy conditions will make it clean. For a beach break, that period is fine, and the offshore wind is a huge plus. This is the standout window in the whole outlook.
Wednesday the 12th still has some decent leftover swell, 6ft from the NNE, and the Wednesday afternoon looks clean again with light WNW glassy winds. It’s a good option if you missed Tuesday.
After that, it drops off. Thursday the 13th gets smaller and windier, and from Friday the 14th right through to the end of the 16-day window, it’s back to poor, small, or onshore junk. There’s a brief moment on Wednesday the 19th with tiny 2ft waves and clean cross-offshore winds, but it’s barely a ripple.
So, the call is simple: Tuesday afternoon the 11th of August is your best bet. The combination of 7ft NNE swell, glassy conditions, and solid energy makes it the only real window for a proper session. Wednesday afternoon is the backup. Everything else is a skunk.
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.
