The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. This is your local surf report, with Rusty.
First up, we’ve got a flat spell to kick things off. From Monday the 3rd right through to Saturday the 8th, it’s a write-off – tiny waves, mostly poor conditions, nothing worth paddling out for. That’s a solid six days of nothing. Hang tight.
The first real glimmer of something happens on Sunday the 9th. Langs beach gets a pulse of north swell, pushing 7ft in the morning. The combined energy is strong (531), so there’s some grunt behind it. The period is short though – only 7 seconds – so it’ll be a bit lumpy and disorganised, but the wind is light and glassy, especially by afternoon. That afternoon session is clean, with 6ft and glassy conditions. This is your best bet for the whole outlook. Get in the water Sunday afternoon if you can. The water temp is about average for the time of year.
Monday the 10th gets messy. The swell drops to 5ft and the wind swings east, bringing cross-shore chop. Not great. Tuesday the 11th is even worse with fresh cross-off winds and dropping swell.
Things start to look a bit more promising mid-week. Wednesday the 12th offers a 4ft NE swell with clean conditions in the morning, and by afternoon the period picks up to 10 seconds, giving you better shaped waves. Combined energy around 242. Thursday the 13th is the standout after Sunday: glassy 4ft NE swell at 10 seconds, energy at 355. That’s a solid morning session, clean and lined up. Friday the 14th is also glassy in the morning with 4ft NE swell, but the period is still 10 seconds, so not quite as meaty.
The weekend of the 15th and 16th sees smaller swell – around 3ft to 3ft – with east-northeast wind and some cross-chop. It’s surfable but ordinary. Nothing special.
The final few days from the 17th into the 18th are a mixed bag of small, messy swell and poor conditions. The 17th afternoon does get a bump of 5ft from the north, but it’s short period and the wind is up. Not worth getting excited about.
Overall, your standout is Sunday the 9th afternoon – glassy, clean, 6ft swell. Second best is Thursday the 13th morning for clean glass and a nice 4ft NE swell. Everything else is either too small, too windy, or too messy.
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.
