The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: the next sixteen days at Hangers are a flat spell for the most part. We’ve got a long stretch of tiny, weak, and uninspiring surf. The overall pattern is one of patience, with only a few fleeting moments that might get a longboarder or a beginner out for a splash.
The forecast kicks off on Tuesday, July 28th, with a tiny 1ft easterly swell. The combined energy is a weak 12, and it’s a poor surf condition. That sets the tone for the next few days. Wednesday the 29th sees a similar 1ft easterly swell, but with a moderate offshore wind from the WSW keeping things clean. The energy is still weak at 16. You’ll be hunting for the odd ankle-high ripple.
Thursday the 30th drops even further to 0.7ft from the east, with a combined energy of just 6. It’s almost flat. Friday the 31st is worse, with energy down to 3 on the morning. We’re in a real funk here. The weekend of August 1st and 2nd offers a tiny bump, with the best conditions coming on Sunday afternoon, August 2nd. We’ll have a 1ft swell from the ESE with glassy winds and a combined energy of 23. Still, it’s poor surf, just a bit cleaner.
We then drift through a gap of several days with no real improvements. The swell never breaks above 2ft for the entire period. The most notable conditions come in the second week. On Tuesday morning, August 4th, there’s a 2ft ESE swell with glassy winds and a combined energy of 34. Then on Thursday morning, August 6th, we see a 2ft easterly swell with zero wind, making it glassy. The combined energy is 30. These are the best windows of the entire forecast, but the swell is still tiny and the period is a short 7 seconds. It’s not going to be a proper wave, just a clean, tiny bump. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, nothing unusual.
Honestly, the standout – if you can call it that – is that glassy Thursday morning, August 6th. It’s the cleanest the water will be, but it’s for micro-surf only. For the rest, it’s a kite-surfing setup more than a paddling one, with those cross-onshore winds and choppy conditions on the afternoons.
Hangers is a beach and reef setup, and it’s fairly consistent, so it tends not to stay poor for this long. Forecasts can change, but right now, don’t get your hopes up. The best advice is to wait for the next system.
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.
