The Lowdown
Right, folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, the outlook is a tough one. We're looking at a long stretch of nothing much. For the first ten days, from Friday the 17th of July right through to the end of the month, the waves are just not happening. The swell is tiny, mostly under 2ft, and the wind is all over the shop – cross-shore, onshore, or just plain messy. It’s a real bummer of a start. There’s a big gap with no real surf to speak of.
The only glimmer of hope comes right at the tail end of the period. On Friday the 31st of July, we get a bit of a pulse. The morning looks promising at Hangers. It's a beach and reef setup, and the swell is a tiny 2ft from the east, but with a period of 10 seconds. The water temp is sitting at 85°, which is pretty much normal for this time of year. The real kicker is the wind: glassy. Absolutely flat calm. That means the surface will be like a mirror, giving you the cleanest possible ride on those little waves. The combined energy is moderate at 71. It's not a day for power, but for a nose-ride or a long, drawn-out turn on a longboard, it could be a real treat. The crowds are possible here, so get in early.
Saturday the 1st of August sees things drop back off again. The swell is back to 1.0ft and the wind is onshore. It’s a no-go.
So, to sum it up: the one standout is the morning of Friday the 31st of July at Hangers for the glassy conditions. It won't be big, but it'll be clean. The rest of the 16 days is a write-off for proper surf. The area is pretty inconsistent, so a blank run like this isn't too unusual.
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.
