The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I’ve got to be straight with you – this stretch is looking pretty bleak. We’ve got a long, quiet run ahead with nothing really worth paddling out for. The 16-day window opens with a 16-day gap of no decent surf at all. There’s no real energy showing up, and what little swell we do see is small, weak, and often on the wrong side of the wind.
Let’s start with the only spot we have intel on: Hangers. For the first few days, we’re looking at stormy conditions. Thursday the 3rd has a risk of thunderstorms, with a tiny 2ft E swell and a 9-second period, but the wind is onshore and light, and the combined energy is weak (83). It’s poor surf. Friday the 4th is more of the same – small, cross-onshore chop. The energy is a bit higher on Friday afternoon (107), but it’s all messy. Saturday the 5th and Sunday the 6th drop right off – we’re talking 1.0ft to 1ft waves with weak energy in the teens. No thanks.
Monday the 7th morning offers a moment of calm with glassy conditions, but the swell is just 1.0ft – it’s barely a ripple. The energy is a measly 14. It’s a fat, flat session. The rest of the week stays tiny and weak, with the biggest being a 3ft swell on Wednesday the 9th and Thursday the 10th, but the wind is onshore and the energy is moderate at best (190 on Wednesday morning). The swell direction is from the ENE, which is not the optimum NE direction for Hangers.
The second week continues the same pattern. There are a few more glassy mornings (like the 11th, 13th, 15th, and 16th), but the swell heights are stuck between 1.0ft and 2ft. The energy never gets above 41. Even with clean conditions, there’s simply nothing to ride. The water temperature is about 85°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year – no big anomaly there.
Bottom line: there’s nothing here for a surfer. The whole 16-day forecast is a bust. The swell is too small, the wind is mostly onshore or cross, and the energy is feeble. It’s a total flat spell. Hang the boards up, maybe go for a swim, but don’t expect any waves. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a big zero.
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.
