The Lowdown
Alright, let’s be real. The surf report for Hangers over the next 16 days is a total bummer. There is absolutely nothing worth paddling out for. We’ve got a massive dry spell on our hands, with swell energy readings mostly stuck in the weak zone—like 11, 14, 28—and wave heights barely registering at 0.7 ft to 2 ft. It’s a flat, choppy mess, and the wind isn’t doing us any favors either.
From Saturday the 15th through Friday the 21st, it’s all small, weak, and short-period. Waves are around 0.7 ft to 2 ft, with periods of 8 seconds or so. Water temp is a warm 86°, which is about normal, so at least you’ll be comfortable while you’re sitting there waiting for nothing. There are a couple of cleanish moments—Sunday the 16th morning with that light offshore touch from the SW—but with that size, you’re just doing laps. This break is fairly consistent in its shape, but right now it’s consistently flat.
The second week, from the 22nd to the 30th, is more of the same. We see a little bump on the 27th—waves up to 3 ft with a 12-second period and energy of 190—but the wind is straight onshore from the east, which is going to tear it up. Even when the period stretches out to 15 seconds on the 26th, it’s still tiny and blown out. With this beach and reef setup and that persistent onshore wind, it honestly looks more like a kitesurfing forecast than a surfing one. None of this is for beginners on the rare chance it does push past 5 ft, but we’re not even close to that. It’s a two-week blank, plain and simple.
Hang loose, but maybe hang somewhere else. This is one of those stretches where the ocean just isn’t cooperating. Forecasts can shift, and with a break that’s fairly consistent, the good times will come back around. But based on what I’m seeing now, you’re better off saving your energy.

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.
