The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’m gonna level with you – the next two weeks at Hangers are a tough watch. The entire 16-day window is a flat spell, with nothing that’d get a surfer out of bed. We’re looking at a long, dry run from Thursday the 13th of August right through to the end of the forecast on Friday the 28th. Every single session is marked as poor surf conditions, so there’s no standout, no best day, just a quiet period for the board.
Starting off on Thursday the 13th, it’s clear skies but the swell is tiny at 0.7 ft from the ESE, and that’s the story for days. The combined wave energy is pitiful, sitting at just 8 on Thursday morning and barely climbing. Wind is cross-off in the morning from the WNW at 3 mph, but by the arvo it’s onshore from the E at 9 mph, so no joy. Friday the 14th is similar – 0.7 ft swell, period around 7-8 seconds, and more onshore slop. The water temp is a warm 85° with a tiny anomaly of 0.5°, so about what you’d expect for the time of year, but you won’t be getting wet anyway.
The weekend holds no hope. Saturday the 15th offers a morning with a 12-second period from the E, but still only 0.7 ft and a combined energy of 17. It’s light cross-onshore, which just ripples the surface. Sunday the 16th bumps up to 1 ft from the ESE, but the morning’s cross-off wind from the SSW at 6 mph at least keeps it clean – still, 1 ft and a weak 28 energy doesn’t make a wave.
Through the second week, the swell tries to nudge up a touch. Monday the 17th is 1.0 ft, Tuesday the 18th sees a 1.0 ft morning swell with a 13-second period and an offshore wind from the W at 3 mph, giving us clean conditions. Combined energy hits 51, which is still weak. Wednesday the 19th morning is glassy with 2 ft swell from the E and a 10-second period, energy at 53. It looks the closest to surfable, but it’s still poor. Thursday the 20th through to the 28th, the swell never breaks 2 ft, and the highest energy we see is 64 on Friday the 28th afternoon with a 2 ft, 8-second windswell and onshore wind.
For a break that’s fairly consistent and fairly exposed, this is a dead run. With the swell so insignificant and mostly weak, short-period windswell or cross-onshore chop, the setup here is more interesting for a kite than a paddle. There’s just no juice for a surfer. Keep the wax in the wrapper – forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a blank.
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.
