The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break it down in feet and Fahrenheit for the old school crew.
Right now, we’re stuck in a real dry spell. Looking at Hangers, a beach and reef spot, the first real chance at anything decent is a long way off. From Wednesday, July 29th, right through the start of August, it’s mostly weak, tiny junk. We're talking knee-high slop, with the swell energy barely getting into double digits (13 to 34). Most of it is short-period, weak east swell. Winds are mixed, but it doesn’t matter ‘cause there’s no swell to work with. You’re gonna be doing a lot of waiting around.
The first little hiccup of energy comes on Monday, August 3rd. The morning is still tiny, but by Monday afternoon, the swell bumps up to about 3ft from the ESE, period is still short at 8 seconds, but the energy climbs to 67. More importantly, the wind goes dead calm – glassy. It’s just a quick window of clean, rideable waves, but it’s nothing to write home about. Just a chance to get wet.
Then we get the big tease on Friday, August 7th. By the afternoon, the swell jumps to about 5ft from the east, with a 9-second period. The combined energy hits a solid 505, which is moderate to strong. That’s real push. But the wind is howling onshore at 12 mph from the east. That’s a total mess for surfing – onshore wind and that much swell at a beach setup is just a chaotic, choppy mess. Frankly, that’s better suited for a kite than a paddle board.
After that, from August 8th onward, it’s just a slow fade back into small, weak conditions. There’s a glassy morning on Tuesday, August 11th, with clean conditions on tiny 2ft waves, but again, it’s just ankle-biters.
So here’s the honest truth: there isn’t a single real standout in this 16-day forecast. The absolute best you’re going to get is that small, glassy window on Monday afternoon, August 3rd. It’ll be clean with 3ft waves at Hangers, but it’s a short-lived window. The bigger swell on the 7th is a total washout unless you’ve got a kite. It’s a long, empty stretch with one small clean session and one blown-out pulse.
Don’t give up hope just yet, though. Forecasts change, and it never stays this bad for long around here.

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.
