The Lowdown
Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Hangers over the next sixteen days.
Straight up, I’ll be honest with you – it’s a flat spell. There’s nothing to get excited about for a long stretch. From now, right through until the end of July and into the first week of August, the surf is tiny. We’re looking at swell heights of just 0.7ft to 1.0ft from the east, with combined wave energy barely getting into double digits, often sitting around 6 to 16 (weak energy). The water temp is a balmy 85°F, which is about average for this time of year. The winds are mostly cross-off or off, but with waves that small, it doesn’t matter – it’s just not worth paddling out for.
We do finally see a bit of a pulse kicking in around Sunday the 2nd of August. The swell bumps up to 2ft to 2ft from the ESE, with energy climbing to 72 (weak to moderate). It’s still not great, but it’s a start. By Monday the 3rd of August, there’s a slight improvement, with the swell reaching 2ft to 3ft from the SE and ESE, and energy up to 82 (weak to moderate). Still, the conditions are described as “surfable waves but very ordinary” – not exactly a ringing endorsement.
The best of a poor bunch looks like Wednesday the 5th of August. The swell picks up to 3ft from the ESE with a period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy finally hits a moderate 140. That’s the most power we’ll see in the whole outlook. But the wind is onshore from the east at 6 mph, which will mess up the face. It’s not a day to call in sick for.
After that, it fades away again. The second week sees the swell drop back to 0.7ft to 1ft, with energy falling off a cliff. There are a few glassy mornings, like on the 7th, 8th, and 11th of August, but with next to no swell, it’s just a flat, pretty ocean.
Honestly, if you’re looking for a proper surf, you’re out of luck. The setup here is a beach and reef, and with the swell this small and weak, it’s a non-event. The only highlight is that brief moderate energy spike on the 5th of August, but with onshore wind, it’s not a standout. For a kite surfer, there might be a bit of breeze, but for a paddle surfer, this is a full-on drought. Don’t hold your breath; forecasts can change, but this one looks barren.

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.
