The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for the next few weeks.
Honestly, I'm looking at the charts and it's a grim run for the foreseeable future. We're talking a solid 16-day outlook with barely a whisper of a proper wave. The first seven days are a total write-off, so don't even bother waxing up. The swell is tiny, the wind is onshore or cross-shore, and the energy readings are weak. The whole vibe is just "poor surf conditions".
The best chance we get is on Tuesday, 28 July. There's a window of offshore wind from the SSW, swinging up a clean 3 ft swell from the east. The period is a very long 15 seconds, which means proper groundswell energy. The combined energy reading hits 457, which is strong. This is a long-period groundswell, so it'll be better shaped and have more punch, but at a straight beach break like Langs Beach, it might break a little too straight. Still, with light winds, it'll be clean. The water temp is about 60°, which is normal for this time of year.
The day before, on Monday, 27 July, is marginal. You'll see 2 ft to 2 ft from the east with a 13-second period and a gentle breeze, but the score is low. It's a "maybe" if you're desperate.
After that, it's back to the doldrums. The rest of the run is tiny, messy, or blown out. On 31 July we get a spike in size to 6 ft on the Friday morning, but it's coming from the NNE with a short 8-second period and cross-onshore winds. That's a choppy, lumpy mess best left for the kite surfers.
So, the standout is Tuesday, 28 July. Get on it if you can, because the rest of this outlook is a long, flat, and frustrated wait.
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.
Langs beach is 41 km (25 miles) from the city of Whangarei. If you plan a holiday in Northland, look for hotels and other accommodation in Whangarei. Whangarei has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
