The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break down the next 16 days for Langs Beach in feet and miles per hour.
Honestly, the outlook is pretty flat. There’s a big gap of nothing happening, especially in the first week. The only real chance to get wet is a small window.
That window is Monday, August 10th. The morning is your best bet. We’ll have a 4ft swell from the north, with a period of 8 seconds and a combined energy of (235). The wind will be light and cross-off out of the southwest, cleaning things up nicely. The afternoon stays glassy on a 4ft swell, but it’s not as good.
Tuesday the 11th is a mess. The wind goes onshore and the swell jumps to 7ft with a short period. It’ll be choppy and ugly.
After that, from Wednesday the 12th all the way through to Saturday the 22nd of August, it’s poor. The swell drops to barely a ripple, the wind is often wrong, or it’s just too small to do anything with. The water temp is about what you’d expect for this time of year.
So, take it or leave it: Monday morning is the only game in town. The rest? Leave the board at home.
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.
