The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Hangers over the next couple of weeks.
To be honest, it’s a pretty grim stretch for a paddle. The surf is tiny, and the wind is all over the shop. We’re looking at a long, dry spell with nothing really worth paddling out for. The first week is basically a write-off. The wave energy is weak, and the swell is just too small to get excited about. There’s a glimmer of hope right at the very end of the outlook, but it’s a long way off.
The first real chance we get is on the morning of the 19th of August. The swell bumps up to a tiny 2ft from the East, with a period of 10 seconds. The combined energy is a weak 56. The wind is glassy, and the conditions are clean. It’s surfable, but it’s very ordinary. It’s the only moment in the whole 16 days that even gets a look-in, but with such small waves, it’s a real grovel session.
After that, it’s back to the same story: tiny 1ft to 2ft waves, poor conditions, and onshore winds for the rest of the run. The water temp is about 85°F, which is pretty normal for the time of year, nothing out of the ordinary.
Signing off from a flat spell, 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.
