Hangers Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break it down.

To be blunt, Hangers is looking like a total dud for the next sixteen days. Every single session is tagged as poor surf conditions, so there’s nothing I can honestly recommend. The swell is puny, the wind is generally onshore or cross-onshore, and the energy is barely there. This is a long, flat spell.

Starting on Wednesday the 5th, it’s some clouds with a light ENE breeze at 6 mph and a tiny 0.4 ft swell from the ESE, period a weak 7 seconds. Combined energy is only 18, so it’s basically flat. It stays poor.

Thursday the 6th brings 0.6 ft from the E, period dropping to 5 seconds, with a risk of thunderstorms. Onshore wind. Still junk. Friday the 7th shows a little bump to 1.0 ft in the morning and 1 ft in the afternoon, both from the E, period 7-8 seconds, but the wind is onshore and energy hits 100 to 324. Still poor, with storm risk.

Saturday the 8th and Sunday the 9th offer 0.8 ft to 1.0 ft from the E, but the wind goes cross-onshore in the mornings, making it choppy. Energy sits between 84 and 139. No improvement.

From Monday the 10th all the way to the 20th of August, the swell never peaks above 0.6 ft. Most days it’s 0.3 ft to 0.5 ft. The period is short, usually 6 to 9 seconds, and energy is weak, all under 100. There are a few glassy or clean windows on the 12th, 13th, 17th, and 19th, but with that tiny swell it won’t break. On the 13th, a glassy morning with 0.3 ft swell, period 8 seconds, energy 14 – looks pretty, but you’d be sitting on a lake.

Water temp is 84°F on the 5th, which is about 0.5°F below normal, so it’s average for the area.

So plain and simple: no surf worth chasing. This is a dead run for Hangers. If you absolutely have to get wet, the cleanest flat days are around the 13th and 17th, but don’t expect a wave. Forecasts can change, but right now, I’m calling it a wash.

Rusty.
