Langs beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what we’ve got on the cards for Langs beach.

Honestly, it’s a pretty flat and quiet 16 days ahead. There are long gaps with nothing rideable, and nothing that really gets the heart pumping. The first bit of surf worth mentioning isn't until the first day, and even then it's not great.

Monday the 7th starts off with a poor session. We’re looking at a short-period, northerly windswell around 5ft, but with a strong 16 mph cross-onshore breeze it’s choppy and messy. The combined swell energy is moderate at best (222), but the wind is just too rough. The water temp is sitting at 60°, which is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

Tuesday the 8th drops off pretty quickly. Swell fades to 2ft in the morning, period is short, and the energy drops right down to 57. Cleaner conditions with a cross-offshore breeze from the SW, but the waves are too small to get excited about. By the afternoon it’s even smaller.

Wednesday the 9th is almost dead flat. There’s a tiny 0.3ft bump in the morning with glassy conditions – dead calm – but you’d be floating more than surfing. The combined energy is just 15. Not worth paddling out.

From there, the entire run from Thursday the 10th right through to Tuesday the 22nd of September is a real struggle. We’ve got days and days of swell under 2ft, mostly with clean cross-offshore winds, but it’s just not enough push. There’s a brief flicker on the afternoon of Wednesday the 16th, where a 4ft north swell rolls in with a short 5-second period and moderate combined energy (106), but the winds are cross-off and the shape would be junky. It’s more of a windswell bump than anything for a surfboard.

The standout, if you can call it that, would be that Wednesday 16th afternoon – purely because it’s the biggest wave height in the whole outlook. But with that short period and cross-off wind, it’s not going to be clean or well-shaped. For a beach break like Langs, the long-period groundswell we get on some other days is too weak to make anything of it.

Honestly, this is a tough outlook. If you’re a kite surfer, some of those blustery days with 3ft+ windswell and cross-shore winds might look interesting. For paddle surfing, it’s a lean run. Things can always change, but as it stands, there’s no real highlight.
