The Lowdown

Alright, let’s get into it. The next couple of weeks are looking pretty bleak for a proper surf at Hangers. We’re staring down the barrel of a long, flat spell that’s gonna test your patience. To be honest, for the first week, from Monday the 10th through to Sunday the 16th, you might as well leave the board in the car. The swell is tiny and disorganized, with nothing over 2ft, and periods hovering around a weak 5 to 8 seconds. That’s just wind chop and dribble, not surf. We’re also dealing with a lot of onshore and cross-onshore breezes through the afternoons, which is gonna chop up what little there is. There might be a few clean mornings, like Wednesday the 12th, Saturday the 15th and Sunday the 16th, with light offshore or even glassy conditions, but there’s simply not enough water moving to make it worth the paddle. Combined wave energy is struggling, mostly in the low double digits, like 9 or 10, which is about as weak as it gets. The water temp is sitting at 85°, which is right on the money for this time of year, so at least you won’t be cold while you’re sitting there waiting for nothing.

The situation starts to shift a little as we get into the new week. From Monday the 17th, we see the swell direction lock into the E, and there’s a hint of longer period energy showing up. Tuesday the 18th sees a jump in period to 15 seconds and energy climbs to 105, and that’s when things start to look a bit more interesting. It’s still small, only 1ft, but that long-period groundswell energy is there. We’re still not at good surf levels, but it’s a sign that the ocean is waking up. By Wednesday the 19th, the swell builds a touch to 2ft with a 12-second period and energy up at 136. The mornings are looking cleaner with light cross-offshore winds. The standout for this whole period is shaping up to be the morning of Wednesday the 19th. It’s not big, but it’s the best of what we’ve got, with clean conditions and some real push behind it for a beach and reef setup like this. The wave energy is now moderate (136), and that E swell direction is matching what the spot wants.

After that, it kind of fades again. The rest of that week and into the next, from the 20th onwards, it drops back to small dribblers, mostly under 2ft, and the wind turns more onshore, especially in the afternoons with a high chance of thunderstorms. There’s maybe one last clean-ish morning on Thursday the 20th with glassy conditions, but the swell is only 2ft with a 10-second period, which is ordinary. The energy levels fall back to the 30s and 40s, weak and uninspiring. So, if you’re looking for the one window, it’s that Wednesday the 19th morning. It’s not going to be epic, but it’ll be the most surfable wave we see. It’s a long-range call, so don’t book the day off work just yet, but keep an eye on it. For everything else, it’s a whole lotta nothing for a while.

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.
