The Lowdown
Right folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I’m looking at this forecast and it’s a bit of a flat spell for Hangers. We’ve got a long stretch coming up where the ocean just isn’t cooperating. For the first six days, from Sunday the 19th through to Friday the 24th, the surf is tiny and the wind is a mess. It’s a write-off. You’d be better off cleaning the wax off your board than paddling out into that choppy, cross-onshore junk.
There’s a glimmer on Saturday the 25th morning. The swell bumps up to just 2ft from the ESE with a period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy is a weak 67. The wind is light and cross-offshore from the SSW, so it’ll be clean. It’s surfable, but it’s very ordinary. Still, a clean, small wave is better than nothing.
The real standout is shaping up a bit later. Come Saturday morning, the 1st of August, we get a 1ft swell from the ESE, but the wind swings offshore from the W at 19 mph. The combined energy is only 23, but that fresh offshore wind will make it look better than it is. It’s a tiny wave, but for the crew that’s been waiting, it’ll be the cleanest session of the window. The rest of the period is a bust.
Crowds at Hangers are possible, so if you see that Saturday morning window, get out there early. The water temp is about 84°F which is normal for this time of year.
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.
