Table - best surf conditions forecast for Hangers over the next 16 days.
The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk about Hangers. This is a beach and reef setup, advanced-level, fairly exposed to the swell. Right now, the water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing crazy going on there.
Honestly, looking at the whole 16-day window, there’s not much to get excited about. The surf is mostly tiny, weak, and onshore. We’ve got a long stretch of poor conditions from the start all the way through to early September. The combined energy values are mostly in the low double digits, barely cracking 100 for most of that time, which is very weak. You’ll see a bit of a pulse on Wednesday the 2nd of September when the combined energy jumps to 206, but that morning the swell is still only 2 ft from the east with a short period of 11 seconds, and the wind is onshore. It’s not going to be any good.
The first real glimmer of hope comes on Thursday the 3rd of September in the morning. It’s still only 2 ft from the east, but the wind goes glassy, and the conditions are described as “surfable waves but very ordinary.” That’s as good as it gets for a while. The combined energy is only 63, so it’s weak, but at least it’s clean.
After that, we get another gap of poor, small surf. There’s a morning on Wednesday the 9th of September where the swell bumps up to 4 ft from the east, with a short period of 6 seconds, and offshore wind from the WSW. Combined energy is 143, moderate, and the waves are clean but pretty ordinary. It’s surfable, but with that short period, it’s going to be a bit lumpy and weak.
The best option in the whole window, if you can call it that, is probably the morning of Thursday the 10th of September. It’s glassy, calm wind, 3 ft from the east, period of 6 seconds, and the combined energy is only 62. The waves are clean but still small and weak. For a spot like Hangers that needs a proper swell and good wind, this is a tough run.
Bottom line: there’s no standout session here. If you’re desperate, the glassy mornings on the 3rd and 10th of September are your best bets, but keep expectations low. This is a pretty blank run for the area, but forecasts can always change.

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.
