The Lowdown
Alright mate, Rusty here. Let’s size up what’s happening at Langs beach over the next couple of weeks. Got to tell you, it looks lean. The big picture is a whole lot of flat spells with just a couple of very average, low-energy windows.
Starting off Saturday the 5th and Sunday the 6th, we’re looking at ankle-snappers at 0.2m from the ENE. Saturday morning has clean conditions with a light WSW breeze, but with nothing to ride, it’s a non-starter. Sunday is blown out with cross-on wind.
Then the taps turn off. From Monday the 7th all the way through to Tuesday the 15th, there’s nearly nothing worth paddling out for. Monday the 7th morning brings a pulse of 6ft of northerly swell with 240 units of energy, but it’s short-period junk at 6 seconds and trashed by a fresh NNW wind. The water temp is about normal for this time of year at 59°.
The only day that barely pokes its head up is Tuesday the 8th morning. You’ve got 3ft of northerly swell (111 energy) and a clean offshore breeze. It’s rideable but nothing to write home about—just the best of a bad lot.
Things try to get a little interesting on Friday the 19th. Saturday morning the 19th shows 3ft from the WNW with a gentle offshore wind and clean conditions. But the period is only 4 seconds, so it’s weak and gutless. Still, for this run, that’s as good as it gets.
After that, it’s back to tiny slop. A tough watch. The surf will come back eventually, it always does.
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.
