The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what Langs Beach is serving up for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it's a pretty quiet stretch ahead for Langs Beach. There's no real action on the cards for quite a while. We've got a long gap with nothing worth paddling out for, starting from now all the way through most of the coming days. The first whisper of anything that might be considered a wave doesn't show up until around Saturday, August 30th, and even then, we're talking about small, weak energy.
Looking at the whole period, there are no true standouts. The best of a pretty average bunch looks to be around the morning of Sunday, August 30th. The swell is tiny at 3ft from the NE, with a moderate 119 combined swell energy. The real silver lining is the clean conditions with a light to moderate cross-offshore breeze from the W. That wind will keep the surface smooth, but with a short period of 10 seconds, it's not going to have much punch. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, so nothing to worry about there.
After that little blip, it gets small again. There's a slight bump on Friday, September 4th, with some 3ft to 4ft swell from the NNW, but it's accompanied by a moderate cross-onshore breeze, so it will be choppy. The combined energy climbs to 90, but the wind makes it a messy option. For the rest of the outlook, it's mostly tiny, clean, but with barely any surfable waves.
To sum it up: if you're desperate for a splash on the 30th, the morning might offer a few clean, waist-high runners with a bit of juice. Otherwise, Langs Beach is a flat, sleepy stretch for the next two weeks. The swell is just too weak and inconsistent to get excited about.
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.
