Table - best surf conditions forecast for Hangers over the next 16 days.
G’day, Rusty here, and I’ve gotta be straight with you – the next 16 days at Hangers are a flat, frustrating mess. There’s not a single recommendation worth paddling out for. The whole run is a total write-off for surf, with tiny waves and mostly junk winds. The combined swell energy barely cracks double digits, sitting at a weak 50 on the best mornings, which is barely a ripple. We’ve got a long, blank stretch ahead with no real swell on the horizon.
Looking at the first few days, Thursday 9th July morning has a tiny 2ft swell from the ESE, with a period of 9 seconds – that’s short-period windswill, not groundswell. The wind is cross-off from the SSW at 6 mph, so conditions are clean, but the wave energy is a pathetic 50. It’s poor surf, plain and simple. Afternoon on Thursday cranks up the wind to 16 mph from the SE, making it choppy and cross-on. Friday 10th July and Saturday 11th are even worse, with swell dropping to 1.0ft-1ft and energy down in the 20s. The wind stays cross-on or cross, keeping it messy.
Even the glimmers of hope are still rubbish. Wednesday 15th July morning has a glassy, still wind – 3 mph from the south – and a tiny 2ft swell from the NE, but it’s still rated poor, with energy at 50. The same goes for Saturday 18th July morning: glassy, 1.0ft, 14 energy. Clean conditions can’t save a flat ocean. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there.
The only positive is that Hangers is a beach and reef setup that’s fairly consistent, so this blank run feels more like a normal seasonal lull. It won’t stay poor forever – forecasts can shift. But for now, don’t bother waxing up. There’s nothing here. The best you could hope for is a paddle on a glassy morning, but you won’t be catching anything.
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.
