The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – this outlook for Hangers is a tough one. We're looking at a long stretch of pretty ordinary conditions, so don't get your hopes up for any magic sessions in the next two weeks.
The whole 16-day window is a bluescreen for clean, rideable waves. For the first week, from Tuesday the 15th right through to Monday the 21st of September, it’s just a write-off. We’ve got small, weak swell and the wind is mostly cross-onshore or onshore, making everything a choppy mess. The combined wave energy is well under 100 for most of that time, and it’s flagged as "poor surf conditions" across the board. A real shame, because the water temp is sitting at 30°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. You’d want to be in the water, but the waves just aren't playing the game.
We get a flicker of hope on Tuesday morning the 22nd of September. The wind swings light SSW, going cross-offshore, which cleans things right up. Swell is still tiny at 0.9m from the E with a short period of 7 seconds. It’s labeled as "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions" with a combined energy of just 79. It's the only day in the whole run that even gets a score of 1, but honestly, it's not something to paddle across town for. The rest of that week and into the next is more of the same – minor swell, rubbish wind, and no real quality. Wednesday the 23rd has a glassy morning with the wind dropping to nothing, but the swell is barely a ripple at 0.5m. It’s a cruel tease.
Bottom line: the whole 16-day stretch is a dud. There are no standouts, no best on offer. Just a lot of flat, windy, or messy days. Keep the boards in the car, but don’t bother waxing up yet. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a waiting game.
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.
