The Lowdown

Alright, let’s have a look at what we’ve got.

Honestly, the outlook for Hangers over the next 16 days is a tough one. We’re looking at a long, extended stretch of tiny, weak swell with messy wind. If you’re after proper waves, this isn’t the place for a while. Stick with me, I’ll walk you through it.

From Thursday the 20th of August right through until the end of the month, the swell barely nudges above 1 ft with periods hanging around 8 to 11 seconds. The combined swell energy is low, mostly between 15 and 78 – that’s weak stuff. Winds are a constant problem, with a mix of cross-onshore and cross-off breezes, plus a few risky thunderstorms. There’s a brief moment on Monday the 24th morning where it goes glassy, but with only 1 ft of swell at 11 seconds, it’s just not enough to surf. The water temperature sits at 87°F with an anomaly of 3°F – so a touch warmer than normal, but that won’t help the waves.

The first real potential glimmer comes on Friday the 28th of August. Early morning there’s a light offshore wind from the west at 3 mph, and swell bumps up slightly to 1 ft from the ESE. It’s still short period at 8 seconds and combined energy is 55 – so still weak – but it’s the only session that rates as “surfable” but very ordinary. That said, it’s not worth getting excited about for paddle surfing. The setup is beach and reef, with a tiny, weak swell and onshore winds later in the day. Honestly, that morning window looks more interesting for a kite surfer than for someone with a shortboard.

After that, it’s back to tiny, choppy, or glassy but flat conditions right through to early September. There’s a slight bump on the 1st of September morning to 2 ft, but it’s short period (7 seconds) with a cross-shore wind from the north. The energy climbs to 43, still weak. Then on the 4th of September, Friday morning, we get another “surfable but very ordinary” window: 2 ft from the NE at 8 seconds, with a light cross-off breeze from the SSW. Combined energy is 55 – same story, weak and unexciting.

So what’s the pick? If you absolutely had to paddle out, Friday the 4th of September morning would be the best of a very poor bunch. Light cross-off wind, 2 ft from the NE, and clean. But it’s small, short period, and the combined energy (55) is nothing to write home about. It’s a beginner-friendly size, but the quality isn’t there for a standout session. Crowds are listed as “sometimes,” so you might have company, but with this lack of quality, it won’t be packed.

Overall, this is a tough 16-day block. The breaks are inconsistent, the swell is tiny, and the wind rarely plays ball. For a spot that is fairly consistent normally, this is a dry spell. It won’t stay this way forever, but right now, I’d be finding something else to do until the forecasts change.

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.
