Langs beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s break down the next couple of weeks for Langs beach.

It’s a quiet stretch ahead, folks. Honestly, we’re looking at a long run of marginal, small, and poor surf for the majority of the 16-day window. The first real action doesn’t show its face until later on, so don’t be in a hurry.

Starting from Wednesday the 2nd right through to the middle of the month, it’s flat, weak, and messy. Swell heights are mostly between 0.6 ft and 1 ft, with combined wave energy reading as low as 13 up to maybe 130 – that’s all on the very weak to barely moderate side of things. Winds are mostly cross or cross-off, but the swell is just too small and weak to get excited about. The near-constant “poor surf conditions” tag says it all. The water temp is sitting around 59°F, which is about normal for late winter, so no surprises there.

We finally get a pulse of something on Saturday the 12th. The morning sees a weak 1 ft NE groundswell with a 13-second period, and it’s clean with a light 9 mph SSW offshore breeze (score: 1/10). It’s surfable but ordinary. The real standout, the only standout in the entire window, is Saturday afternoon the 12th. We get a jump to 5 ft of ESE swell, short period at 7 seconds, but it packs a punch with combined energy reading 330. That’s proper moderate energy. The wind is light and cross-off from the SSW, so it should be clean (score: 2/10). This is the best on offer – a small but fun window for bigger boards. Beginners might find that 5 ft a little challenging, but okay. After that, it’s back to small and weak right through to Thursday the 17th, with only tiny bumps and poor conditions.

So, bottom line: sit tight until Saturday afternoon the 12th for the best chance of a few clean, rideable waves around 5 ft. The rest of the time, you’re better off checking the kiting conditions, because the small swell and choppy days won’t do much for paddlers.
