The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a squiz at what's on the cards for Langs Beach over the next couple of weeks.
Look, I’m gonna level with you. The first week or so is pretty grim. We’ve got a real flat spell on our hands from now until that Sunday the 9th of August. Tiny dribbles and mostly onshore junk. It's not going to be worth paddling out, that's for sure.
The real action, and I mean the only true standout in the whole run, is shaping up for Monday the 10th of August. The ocean finally wakes up. We're looking at a solid pulse of swell from the NNE pushing in around 7ft or so. The wave energy is cranking (884) and the wind is looking kind to us with a light cross-offshore breeze from the SSW. For you non-metric folks, that's a clean, punchy day. With the swell being a solid 7ft in the morning, it's not one for the grommets, but for anyone who's been hanging out for a proper wave, this is it.
After that Monday high, it settles back down into a more average pattern right through the second week. Tuesday the 11th and Wednesday the 12th are down a notch into the 4ft to 5ft range, with some cross-onshore wind. It's surfable, but nothing special. We get a bit more life back around the 14th and 15th of August with some chest to head-high sets from the E/ESE, but the period is short and the wind will be up. Nothing in that stretch is going to top that Monday.
The very end of the run, on Tuesday the 18th of August, gives us a glimmer with a glassy 4ft E swell, but it’s a long way off in the forecast and a lot quieter compared to that first main event.
Water temp at the start is sat at 60°F, which is pretty much bang on normal for this time of year. Bring a decent 4/3, you’ll be right.
So, bottom line: just wait for Monday the 10th. That's your window. Everything else is either too small, too windy, or just ordinary.
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.
