The Lowdown
Alright, I’ll be honest with ya – it’s pretty bleak out there. Looking at the whole 16-day window, we’ve got a real flat spell on our hands. The first real chance of any surf is on Sunday the 6th of September, but even then it’s tiny and weak, so don’t get your hopes up.
Hangers is the only spot in the mix, a beach-and-reef setup that’s fairly consistent but rarely offers much. The water temp is sitting at a warm 84°, which is about average for this time of year.
Sunday 6th September starts off with a tiny 1ft swell from the east, a period of 8 seconds, and weak combined energy (11). The morning is clean with a light offshore wind from the west-northwest, but it’s just too small to surf. By the afternoon, a risk of thunderstorms and a cross-onshore wind mess things up further – swell drops to 0.7ft.
Monday 7th is more of the same: morning brings 1ft from the east-southeast, clean with a light offshore, but still poor. Afternoon turns choppy with a stronger cross-onshore.
From Tuesday 8th through to Friday 11th, the swell bumps up a touch, peaking around 3ft on Wednesday morning (9th) with combined energy of 104 – the highest in the whole outlook. But it’s onshore wind all the way, so the quality is poor. That small pulse comes from east-northeast with a short period of 8 seconds. Not worth paddling out.
From Saturday 12th right through to the end of the window on Monday 21st September, it’s a real grind. Swell stays below 2ft, period is short, and winds are mostly cross-onshore or onshore. The 18th of September (Friday morning) offers a brief glimmer – a clean, cross-offshore wind from the southwest, but with only 2ft of east-northeast swell (8 seconds), it’s still a long way from rideable.
Honestly, there’s no standout session here. Not a single day where the stars align. If you’re desperate, the cleanest windows are Sunday 6th morning or Monday 7th morning, but you’ll be scratching for anything to catch. Otherwise, it’s a long flat run with no real hope until forecasts change. Keep your eyes peeled – conditions this quiet never last forever.

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.
