The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the next 16 days at Hangers are looking pretty grim. We’ve got a long stretch of poor surf conditions ahead, so don’t go getting your hopes up. There’s no real standout session, and honestly, no good surf options on offer for the whole period.
The first few days, starting Tuesday the 8th of September, are a total write-off. The swell is tiny, barely 1ft, with a weak combined energy of only 39. The wind is glassy first thing, but it’s a risk tstorm and the swell is just too small to do anything with. The 9th and 10th aren’t much better, with the swell climbing to a measly 3ft and a moderate energy of 124, but the wind is onshore or cross-onshore, making for poor surf. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, nothing special.
Hangers is a beach and reef setup, fairly exposed, and the optimum swell direction is from the NE. We do see some small pulses of NE swell, but they’re weak and short-period. The 11th through the 18th is a dead zone – swell stays between 1ft and 2ft, with energy levels stuck in the low teens to twenties. The wind is often onshore, so the surface is chopped up. Nothing to ride.
The 19th and 20th of September offer a tiny glimmer. The swell is still small at 2ft to 2ft from the NE, but the morning wind is light and cross-offshore, giving us clean conditions. The energy is weak (43-51), so it’s not going to be exciting, but it will be smooth. The 21st has a similar story, but the wind becomes cross-onshore, messing it up again.
The tail end of the period, the 22nd and 23rd of September, sees the swell bump up to 3ft from the E, but it’s a short-period, messy windswell with wind speeds hitting 19 mph. The setup is more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, with that strong cross-shore wind and lumpy chop.
In short, there’s no good surf for the next two weeks. The only two mornings that are worth checking are the 19th and 20th of September, when the wind is clean, but the swell is tiny. It’s a dry spell, but you know how it goes – forecasts can change, and it never stays flat forever.
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.
