The Lowdown
Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Langsbeach. To be honest, it’s a pretty quiet stretch ahead. The water temperature is sitting at 59°, which is pretty much normal for this time of year, so no dramas there.
The pick of the whole forecast is Thursday morning, August 13th. We’ve got a 5-foot NE swell rolling in with a period of 7 seconds and a combined energy of 214. The wind is light from the WSW at 6 mph, blowing cross-off, so the waves will be clean. This is the standout session, but it’s still a fairly ordinary swell size and period, so don’t expect anything too special.
After that, things get pretty grim. There’s a gap from Thursday afternoon right through to the end of the 16-day window. Friday morning the 14th has a tiny 3-foot swell with glassy conditions, but it’s very weak with only 89 energy. The weekend is a write-off – strong winds from the SSW and SW up to 19 mph, small, messy swell. Monday through to the end of the month is mostly tiny waves, glassy or light breezes, but nothing worth paddling out for. The energy stays low, often under 100, and the wave heights barely reach 2 feet.
For the absolute best on offer, you’d be looking at Thursday morning, August 13th. It’s the only time the swell is over 5 feet, and the wind is clean. Just don’t expect a classic.

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.
