The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you. The next 16 days at Langs Beach are looking like a tough stretch for surfers. The forecast is almost entirely made up of poor surf conditions with tiny waves and not a single score that would get me out of bed in a hurry.
The first half of the window is a real struggle. From Thursday morning through to the end of the first week, we are looking at waves that barely break the 1 ft mark most of the time, with the odd bump reaching 3 ft to 4 ft. The wind is mostly cross or cross-off, which isn't terrible, but the wave energy is pathetic – often in the teens or twenties, which is weak energy. There's a bit more energy on Monday the 7th (153), but it's still poor quality 4 ft surf. It’s small, weak, and just not worth paddling out for.
The second week doesn't get much better. The consistency is there, but the height is still tiny, mostly 1 ft to 1 ft. The one slight exception is on Tuesday the 15th of September, where we see a jump to 4 ft with moderate energy (121), but the period is short at 5 seconds, making it choppy and messy. Plus, the wind will be on it.
Honestly, there isn't a single standout or any real hope for a quality session in this forecast. Langs Beach is a beginner-friendly, exposed beach break, and for this whole period it's offering nothing but frustration. The water is about 59°, which is pretty average for early September, so no surprises there.
It’s a blank run, folks. Sometimes it goes like this. All I can say is keep an eye on the charts, because forecasts can change.
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.
