The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ve gotta be straight with you—this stretch is looking pretty grim. Hangers is a beach and reef setup that needs a decent swell from the northeast to really fire, and we’re just not getting it. The whole 16-day window is a write-off for proper waves. The water’s sitting at 84° with a temperature anomaly of -0.1°, so pretty average for this time of year, nothing to write home about.
We’ve got a massive gap of no surf worth mentioning from now right through to the morning of Sunday, August 9th. That’s over a week of tiny, messy slop. Swell heights barely nudge 2 ft for the first week, with periods never cracking 8 seconds—weak, short-period wind chop with combined swell energy stuck below 100 (23 to 94). Winds are mostly cross-off or onshore, so it’s just not happening.
The only fleeting hint of something comes on the morning of Sunday, August 9th. The swell bumps up to 4 ft from the east, with a 7-second period, and combined energy hits 238—moderate, but still weak. The wind goes glassy, so it’ll be clean. But with a score of just 1, it’s surfable but very ordinary. That’s the best we’ve got. After that, it’s back to tiny, onshore-chopped junk for the rest of the run.
Honestly, leave the board at home. This is a solid blank period for the area. Forecasts can change, but right now, there’s nothing to get excited about.
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.
