The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s break it down. This forecast is a real slow starter, so don’t be in a rush to grab your board.

We’re looking at a long, quiet stretch. From Tuesday the 8th all the way through to the morning of Wednesday the 23rd of September, the waves are just too small to get excited about. Swell heights are mostly between 0.2 ft and 2 ft, with combined energy readings almost all in the two-digit range (57 at the best, but mostly in the 20s and 30s). That’s weak energy, plain and simple. The wind is often cross-off or clean, which is nice, but there’s just no power in the water. Long-period swells show up on the 10th and 11th (14 seconds), but with only 1.0 ft of height, it’s not doing a thing.

The one and only standout comes much later. On the morning of Wednesday the 23rd of September, we finally get a pulse of energy. Langs beach (Langsbeach) should see a 4 ft swell from the east, with a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy jumps to 155 (moderate wave energy), which is the most we’ve seen in the whole 16 days. The wind will be light offshore from the SSW, making for clean, lined-up waves. At 4 ft, it’s still alright for a confident beginner, but the short period means it’ll be a bit crumbly. Still, it’s the best on offer by a long shot. The water temperature is 60°, which is about average for this time of year.

The afternoon on the 23rd drops back off to 3 ft and cross-off wind, so grab that morning window. The crowds at Langs beach can show up sometimes, so get there early if you can.

Other than that one morning, the whole 16 days is a write-off for surfing. It’s a flat spell that just won’t let up. The offshore winds we see on many days would be perfect for kiting, so if you’ve got a kite, that’s where the real action is.

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.
