The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer.
Honestly, it’s a pretty grim stretch ahead. We’re looking at a solid 16-day window starting now, and the first real chance of anything rideable doesn’t pop up until Thursday the 10th. Before that, it’s all tiny, weak, and messy – nothing worth paddling for.
The only spot in the game is Hangers, a beach and reef setup. The water temp is sitting about average for this time of year, so nothing unusual there.
The stand-out, and really the only session worth pointing to, is Thursday morning, September 10th. We’ve got a tiny 2ft swell rolling in from the NE, but the key is the wind – it’s glassy. Dead flat, no bumps. The energy is weak though, only 57 (combined energy of all swells directed here), and the period is a short 7 seconds, so it’s not going to have much push. The wave comment says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions,” and with a score of 1 out of 10, that’s about as generous as it gets. It’s a beggars-can’t-be-choosers situation. You’ll be scratching for little knee-high sliders, but at least it’ll be clean.
After that, it’s back to the same old story. The rest of the 16 days is filled with poor surf conditions, mostly onshore or cross-onshore winds, and tiny swell. There’s a bit of a bump in energy on Wednesday the 9th, hitting 123 (combined energy of all swells directed here) with a 3ft swell from the ENE, but the wind is straight onshore, so it’ll be blown out and messy. That one’s a pass.
For a break that’s fairly consistent, it’s a real bummer of a run. But keep your chin up – forecasts can change, and it tends not to stay this flat for long.
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.
