Alright, Rusty again. Let's break down the Hangers forecast, but in feet and miles.
Right from the start, it’s a quiet stretch. There’s a real lull for a full week. From Saturday, July 4th, through the following Friday, the surf is tiny. We're talking waves in the 1ft range from the ESE, with periods of 8 to 9 seconds. The wave energy is weak – numbers mostly in the teens to sixties. Plus, the wind is cross-on a lot, making it choppy and messy. Honestly, it's a total flat spell for that first week.
There's a slight glimmer on the morning of Thursday, July 9th. The swell is still small, about 2ft from the ESE, with a 9-second period, but the wind goes cross-off from the SW at 6 mph, cleaning up the surface. The combined energy climbs to 59. It's the first time we see a note for "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions," and it is "clean." That's your best look in this first block.
Still, nothing here jumps out as a standout. Moving into the final days, a little more energy shows up. On Friday, July 17th, the swell bumps up to around 4ft from the E, but it's a short period of 6 seconds and cross-on winds keep it poor. The energy finally gets into triple digits (109 in the afternoon). But with that wind and short period, it looks more like a kite session than a paddle session to me. The 18th drops back to 3ft. No real highlight in this window.
Water temp on the 4th morning is a warm 85°F, with an anomaly of about 0.9°F above normal – pretty standard for the area at this time.
For a break that’s fairly consistent, this is a dry run. It happens, but it can change quick.
Keep the chin up.
Rusty.

Information about the Hangers Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Hangers provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Hangers can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Hangers 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 (Hangers) 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 Hangers 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.
