The Lowdown
Alright, let’s have a look at Hangers for the next 16 days.
To be straight with you, mate, it’s been a flat and frustrating run around Hangers and it looks like holding that way for a solid stretch. The whole 16-day window is basically one long gap with nothing worth paddling out for.
Here’s the deal: Tuesday the 25th sees tiny 1.0 ft swell out of the ESE with a cross-on breeze, but the combined wave energy is a weak 40, and it’s already labelled as poor surf. That sets the tone.
Wednesday the 26th and Thursday the 27th offer nothing – we’re talking ankle-snappers at 0.7 ft, crossed-up winds, and the energy barely scraping into double digits. Friday the 28th through to Sunday the 7th of September stays consistently poor: swell heights hover between 1.0 ft and 2 ft, periods bounce around from a shaky 5 seconds to a longer 14 seconds, but the wind is always onshore or cross-on. The energy never really gets going – even the highest reading (145 on Wednesday the 2nd of September afternoon) is only moderate, but with a 2 ft swell and onshore wind, it’s messy as anything. That’s more of a kitesurfing breeze than a surfer’s swell.
The water temperature is 87° on the 25th, which is about a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
The only faint glimmer is way out – Wednesday morning the 9th of September. The wind goes glassy calm, which sounds nice, but the swell is a tiny 1.0 ft out of the ENE with a period of 7 seconds and energy of just 16. A glassy morning with nothing to ride is a cruel tease.
Honestly, Hangers is in a dead period. With no consistent swell and persistent onshore winds, there’s no standout day here. The beach and reef setup needs more than this to fire. Sometimes you just have to wait for the forecasts to change.

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.
