The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk about Hangers. I’ve looked at the whole 16‑day window, and honestly, there’s just nothing worth paddling out for. Every single slot comes back as “poor surf conditions” – tiny swell, messy wind, or both. The break itself is a beach‑and‑reef setup that’s fairly consistent and meant for advanced surfers, but this stretch is a total dud. The combined wave energy is weak across the board – most readings are under 100 (like 18, 43, 48) with only one afternoon bumping into the low hundreds (125 on July 27th afternoon), but even then the swell height is only 2 ft and the wind is cross‑offshore, so it’s not delivering anything decent.
The water temperature on the first morning (July 19) sits at 84°F, which is normal for the time of year – no anomaly there. The wind does go glassy on the morning of July 23, and there are a few clean offshore windows later on (July 26–31), but the swell is tiny – 1 ft to 2 ft at best. Short period too, mostly 4–9 seconds, so no real power. Even when the period stretches to 8–9 seconds, the energy is still too low. It’s the kind of flat spell where you’d be better off waxing your board and waiting.
For a spot that’s fairly consistent, this is a rare blank run. Forecasts can change, but right now there’s no standout day at all. I’d keep an eye on the long‑range – sometimes a pulse of NE swell (which is the optimum direction for Hangers) could pop up, but nothing in this data. So, sorry folks, save the petrol and maybe go for a fish instead.

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.
