The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the outlook for Langs Beach for the next 16 days is a real bummer. The only break on the cards is Langs beach itself, and it’s just not cooperating. The entire period is filled with poor surf conditions, so don’t get your hopes up for any decent waves.
We’re looking at a long stretch of nothing. From Monday, September 7th right through to the end of the outlook on Monday, September 22nd, there’s not a single standout day. The swell is tiny, mostly below 2 ft, and the wind is often cross or cross-off, which is clean but useless when there’s no energy. The water temperature is sitting around 60°F, which is about average for this time of year, but that’s about the only thing that’s normal.
The only blip of any size comes on Monday the 7th with a 5 ft swell from the north, but it’s a short period of 7 seconds and the wind is a messy cross-on at 16 mph. The combined energy is a moderate 244, but it’s all for nothing with those conditions. By Tuesday the 8th, the swell drops to 2 ft, and it just fades away from there. For the next two weeks, the swell height rarely cracks 1 ft, and the combined energy is mostly in the weak double digits, with values like 24, 29, and even dropping to 7 on the 19th. There’s a long period swell (13–14 seconds) from the NE on the 10th and 11th, but the swell height is only 1.0 ft to 1 ft, so it’s a tease. A point break or reef would love that period, but at these sizes, there’s nothing to ride.
Honestly, for a beach break setup like this, with tiny swell and clean but useless winds, it looks more interesting for a kite than a paddle. The surf is just not there. Keep your board in the car and wait for a change – forecasts can shift, but right now, it’s a blank run. This is one of those times where the area just goes quiet, and you’ve got to be patient.
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.
