Surf is the face height at the beach after the swell is filtered for the way Langland Bay faces. Arrows point to where the swell and wind come from: an arrow pointing up means from the north. Tide is the height at Mumbles above chart datum, rising ↑ or falling ↓; the rating drops when the tide is outside the window this break works on. Amber marks the sessions worth setting an alarm for. From Wednesday the swell comes from Météo-France's 10-day model, which is coarser than the 5 km German model used close in. Hours no model reaches are left blank, not shown as flat.

Exposure

Langland Bay faces south. Measured from the seabed, it is open to swell from E round to W; the brighter a wedge, the deeper the water in that direction and the more of the swell gets in. Anything from behind the headlands scores nothing, however big the buoy says it is.

SW: 0.7 m at 7 s (swell) · 100 % reaches the beach
SE: 0.6 m at 3 s (wind sea) · 100 % reaches the beach

How Langland Bay works

Swell: Best from the south west.
Wind: Offshore is from the north; anything with south in it is onshore and messes it up.
Tide: low to mid tide.
Getting there: Just down the coast from swansea

Loads of breaks through various tides.. Beach break at high, with reefs available the both ends at low.
