The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s cookin’ for Langs beach over the next couple of weeks. I gotta be straight with you right off the bat – the first week or so is a real struggle. We’ve got a long, dry spell before anything worth paddling out for shows up.

The whole run starts with a bit of a dud. From Friday the 31st of July, right through to the morning of Friday the 14th of August, it’s mostly tiny, weak, and messy. There’s a little pulse on Sunday the 2nd of August with some 4 ft swell from the east and a clean offshore wind, but the period is a short 7 seconds, so it’s gonna be pretty weak and junky. The combined energy is only 166 (moderate wave energy), so it’s not really worth getting excited about. The water temp is sitting at about 60°, which is pretty normal for this time of year.

The real standout, and honestly the only true window we’ve got, is the afternoon of Friday the 14th of August. This is the one to circle on the calendar. The forecast is showing a solid 7 ft swell from the north, with a clean offshore wind from the south-southwest at 9 mph. That’s a proper, clean look. The swell period is 7 seconds, so it’s a bit short-period, but the energy is there – combined energy of 501 (strong wave energy). This is gonna be a punchy, fun wave for the crew that knows what they’re doing. Just a heads up – at 7 ft, this is getting into the expert-only zone, so if you’re a beginner, sit this one out.

The weekend after that, on the 15th of August, the swell drops back down to 3 ft and the conditions are clean but much smaller. It’s surfable, but it’s not the highlight.

So, to sum it up: the first two weeks are a write-off. The best bet is that Friday afternoon on the 14th of August. It’s a long way out, so keep an eye on the charts, but it’s the only real pulse we’ve got. The rest is for the kites or the beach walk.

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.
