The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s break this down.
Looking at the next couple of weeks, it’s a pretty dry spell overall. The first week is a total washout, but there’s a single, decent window lurking in the second week. The water temp is 30°, which is pretty normal for the season, so you won’t be shivering while you wait for a wave.
There’s a big gap of nothing special from the start. From August 31st right through to September 8th, it’s all onshore junk, tiny lumps, and very little energy. The combined swell energy rarely gets above 100 (mostly 58 or 61), so it’s all weak, short-period windswell. Not worth getting wet for.
Then, a flash of hope. On the morning of Wednesday, September 9th, things finally line up at Hangers. We’ve got a glassy, dead-calm start with a clean 0.8m swell rolling in from the ENE, and the period jumps up to 11 seconds, which is a proper groundswell. The combined energy hits 294 (moderate), so there’s some real power. The wind is WSW at 0 km/h, meaning it’s completely flat calm. This is the standout of the whole forecast. The swell direction is NE, which is the ideal direction for this break (Hangers). It’s a beach and reef setup, so that longer period energy should wrap in nicely. Remember, it’s an advanced spot, so only for the experienced crew. Crowds are sometimes a factor, so expect a few others with the same idea.
After that, things drop off again. The next few days have some clean offshore winds but with tiny, weak swells—0.3m to 0.4m—so not really worth the effort.
So, the bottom line: the first week is a total bust. The only real window is Wednesday morning, September 9th, at Hangers. That’s your one chance. Go get it.
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.
