The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s chew over what’s coming for Langs beach.

To be straight with you, the next couple of weeks are mostly a bust. A long stretch of flat, weak surf is on the cards. Water temp is about 60°, right on average for the season, so no surprises there.

From Wednesday the 9th right through to Tuesday the 22nd, it’s a real dry run. Days of 0.7ft to 1ft of slop, with combined swell energy barely hitting 70 (weak). Wind’s switching around – cross, cross-off, cross-on – but even the clean spells are on waves that are just too small to bother with. It’s a long, blank period with nothing to recommend.

But there’s a tiny glimmer. On the morning of Tuesday the 22nd, a 2ft swell from the NNE, with a 10-second period, and the wind going glassy – dead calm. That’s a rare, clean moment. Combined energy nudges up to 100 (just into moderate). It’s not big, but after all that flatness, a glassy morning session might be the one to paddle out for. Crowds can show up sometimes, but on a day that small, you’ll likely have it mostly to yourself.

Now, things get more interesting toward the end. On Wednesday the 23rd, we see a 3ft to 4ft swell from the NE, but the wind swings onshore and wave energy jumps to 224 to 270 (strong). That’s expert-only stuff with the size and wind straight on it. Not ideal. The real standout? Look at Thursday the 24th afternoon: a clean 3ft groundswell from the NE, period 10 seconds, and the wind goes glassy again. Combined energy sits at 201 (moderate to strong). That’s the best of the whole outlook. A solid, clean wave at a beach break with no wind – that’s the one to circle on your calendar. It’s about a week and a half out, so keep tabs on it, but it’s got real promise.

So, the short of it: a long flat spell until a tiny, glassy chance on the 22nd morning, but the real winner is looking like the 24th afternoon. Don’t get your hopes up for much else.

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.
