The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about Hangers. This is a beach‑and‑reef setup that needs a decent NE swell to really fire, but over the next 16 days there’s barely a whisper of surf. The water’s sitting at 84°F which is dead on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The first two weeks of the forecast period are a total write‑off. From Monday 27 July right through to Sunday 9 August, every session is marked “poor surf conditions” – tiny waves not even reaching 2 ft, weak energy (mostly under 40–50), and choppy or cross‑shore winds. Even the occasional glassy morning (like 4 August morning) has only 2 ft of 8‑second east swell, so nothing worth paddling out for. It’s just flat and frustrating.
The only glimmer shows up on Monday 10 August morning. A 2 ft SE swell with a short 5‑second period sneaks in, giving combined energy of 66 – still weak, but it’s the best we’ll see. The wind is light SSW offshore, so the surface is clean. That said, the period is so short the waves will be shifty and weak, and the swell direction is SE, not the preferred NE. It’s surfable but very ordinary – not a standout, just a tiny relief after all that flatness. The afternoon gets messy again with a 15 mph SE cross‑onshore chopping it up.
After that, Tuesday 11 August morning offers a 0.7 ft ENE swell with a 10‑second period and light offshore wind, but it’s too small to do anything. The rest of the window is back to poor conditions.
So honestly, there’s nothing here to get excited about. Hangers is a fairly consistent break normally, but this run is a long, dry spell. If you’re desperate, that Monday morning 10 August might give you a few limp rides, but don’t hold your breath. The forecast can always change, but right now it’s a tough stretch.
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.
