The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, giving you the imperial version.
Let’s be real – this is a rough stretch for Hangers. There’s a long dry spell coming, with almost nothing worth paddling out for. The first faint pulse of surfable waves doesn’t show up until Wednesday morning, August 19th, and even that’s pretty average. Before that, we’re looking at a solid 10-day gap with barely a bump. Tiny, weak, onshore junk is all there is, with combined swell energy topping out at just 66 (weak), and cross-onshore winds making a mess of things. Not worth the wetsuit.
On Wednesday morning the 19th, Hangers (beach and reef) finally sees a little life: a 2ft easterly swell with a period around 9 seconds. The wind swings light cross-offshore from the SSW, cleaning it up. Combined energy is still low at 93 (weak), and the comment calls it “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions”. It’s something, but barely.
The real standout is Thursday morning, August 20th. This is the one to aim for. We get a clean 3ft easterly swell with a period stretching to 11 seconds – that’s some real energy. The wind is light and offshore from the WSW, so expect glassy, lined-up waves. Combined swell energy hits 272 (moderate wave energy), the best of the whole outlook. The direction (E) matches up nicely with the optimum for this spot (NE), so the reef and sand should link up. Crowds are possible here sometimes, so plan for company.
Friday morning the 21st offers a smaller 2ft at 9 seconds with clean offshore wind again, but energy drops back to 89 (weak). After that, it fades into tiny, weak dribble through the weekend and into the next week – a few clean mornings but not enough push to get you going.
Water temp at the start is 84°, about average for this time of year – warm and tropical.
So, Thursday the 20th morning is your only real standout. The rest is flat or marginal.
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.
