The Lowdown
Alright, let me have a look at what we’ve got coming up for Hangers over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, mate, I’m struggling to find much to get excited about. The whole 16-day window is looking pretty flat and wind-battered for the most part. There’s a big gap of really poor conditions right through the first week—from Monday the 3rd all the way through to Sunday the 16th, it’s mostly tiny, weak swell with onshore or cross-shore winds messing it up. The combined wave energy barely cracks triple digits on a few days, like Saturday the 8th (314), but the wind is straight onshore, so it’s just messy. You’re looking at knee-high slop at best, with periods mostly under 8 seconds, so no real power behind it.
The only faint glimmer of hope comes on Monday the 17th of August. The morning sees a bit of a pulse—3 ft of swell from the SE, with a light offshore wind from the W. That’s clean, and the combined energy is 64, so it’s weak, but at least the surface will be glassy. It’s a beach and reef setup, fairly exposed, and it prefers swell from the NE, so this SE swell isn’t ideal, but with offshore wind, you might snag a few crumbly little waves. Don’t expect barrels, just some fun ankle-to-knee-high lines for the patient surfer.
After that, conditions drop back into poor territory, with onshore winds and tiny swell through the rest of the window.
If you’re a beginner, the swell never gets above 4 ft, so it’s not too big, but honestly, the quality is so poor for most of the run that it’s not worth paddling out. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual.
So, bottom line: the only standout is Monday the 17th of August, early morning, for a quick, clean session on small weak waves. Everything else is a skip.

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.
