The Lowdown
Howdy, Rusty here. Look, I’m not gonna sugarcoat it—this forecast is a bummer. For the next 16 days, Hangers has zero proper surf on the menu. We’re talking ankle-to-knee-high dribble, mostly with weak, short-period swell and winds that keep messing with the surface. If you’re a surfer, you’re better off finding something else to do for a while.
Starting Sunday the 6th through Tuesday the 8th, it’s flat and clean-ish—0.3m to 0.4m, ESE swell, periods 4 to 8 seconds, and combined energy only 9 to 46 (weak). Winds are light offshore or glassy at times, so the water will look nice, but there’s no power behind it. Wednesday the 9th bumps up a touch to 0.9m, ENE swell, 9-second period, and energy hits 141 (moderate), but the wind blows straight onshore from the E, so it’ll be choppy and sloppy. Thursday the 10th drops back to 0.7m, energy around 65 to 69, still onshore mess.
Then from Friday the 11th all the way to Saturday the 20th—dead zone. Swell stays between 0.2m and 0.6m, periods mostly 7 to 11 seconds, energy weak (mostly under 60), and winds are cross-on or onshore for the most part. A few mornings like the 13th and 14th are glassy with light breezes, but there’s simply no wave to ride. Friday the 18th morning might look pretty—0.2m with a cross-off breeze and an 11-second period—but that’s still just a ripple. Not worth suiting up.
Monday the 21st finally shows something: 0.9m ENE swell, 10-second period, energy up to 146 (moderate), but again the wind is onshore at 20 km/h, so expect chop and bump. That’s the closest thing to a “best” day, but it’s still not good. Honestly, with this setup—beach and reef, small weak swell, and onshore wind—I’d rather see kite surfers out there than paddle surfers. Water temp is about normal for the season, so no surprises there. Stay patient, check back later—forecasts can shift, and it rarely stays this flat for long. Rusty out.

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.
