Table - best surf conditions forecast for Langs beach over the next 16 days.


Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for the next couple of weeks.

It’s a tough start. We are looking at a stretch of poor surf from Monday the 13th right through to Thursday the 16th. The swell is tiny and mixed with onshore winds, making for some pretty messy and uninviting conditions. Honestly, I’d leave the board in the car for that first block.

The first real glimmer of hope comes later on. Friday the 17th morning is when things start to turn. We’ve got a clean 2 ft swell coming from the east, and with a light cross-offshore breeze, the lines should start to tidy up. The water temp is sitting at 61°, which is pretty much normal for this time of year. The combined energy is moderate (204), and the period is a very long 17 seconds. That’s proper groundswell. This long-period swell will wrap in nicely and offer some good shape, but those long gaps between sets mean you’ll be waiting your turn. It’s a beginner-friendly size, so it’s a good one to get back into it.

The standout of the whole forecast is Saturday the 18th. That morning, we’re looking at the same 2 ft east swell, but with a glassy cross-offshore wind and a combined energy of 253 (moderate). The period is still a lovely 16 seconds. This is going to be the cleanest, most consistent session of the week. The swell direction is straight east, and the optimum swell for Langs beach is from the northeast. It’s a slight mismatch, but the quality of the conditions should still make for a fun, surfable morning. The afternoon glass-off on Saturday is also a solid option, though the swell drops a touch.

Sunday the 19th is still surfable, but the energy drops back down. The morning is clean with a 1 ft ESE swell, but it’s weaker. The afternoon has a bit more size at 2 ft from the north, but it’s a shorter period (9 seconds) and more local windswell.

After the weekend, it gets messy again. Monday the 20th and Tuesday the 21st have some size, but the wind cranks up. We’re looking at 19 mph winds on Monday, creating a clean but choppy cross-offshore wind. The swell is small and short-period. It’s more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddle-surfing one. Tuesday the 21st has a fresh offshore wind and 4 ft swell, but it’s a short-period 7-second windswell. It’s okay, but it’s not the quality of the weekend.

The following week is a write-off. From Wednesday the 22nd right through to the end of the month, we’ve got very small, weak swells with strong cross-shore winds. The only notable event is Tuesday the 28th, where we suddenly see a 8 ft north swell with a very strong combined energy of 972. That’s a big, powerful swell, but it’s blowing 12 mph cross-onshore, making it a choppy, messy, and dangerous mess. That one is strictly for experts only, and even then, it’s not a recommendation.

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.

Langs beach is 41 km (25 miles) from the city of Whangarei. If you plan a holiday in Northland, look for hotels and other accommodation in Whangarei. Whangarei has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
