The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get real about Hangers.
Honestly mate, the outlook for the next two weeks is pretty grim. Most of the time we’re looking at tiny waves with poor surf conditions. There’s a proper dry spell here. From now until the very end of July, the swell is barely a ripple, mostly 0.7ft to 2ft, and onshore or cross-shore winds ruin whatever’s there. The combined wave energy is weak, mostly single digits or low double digits (5 to 31) – just not enough to get excited about. The water temp is sitting at 84°, which is about normal for the time of year.
There’s a slight shift around Sunday the 2nd of August. The swell bumps up to 2ft from the ESE, with a moderate offshore wind from the WSW, and the combined energy jumps to 107 (moderate energy). It’s actually surfable – but conditions are still described as ordinary. That’s the most promising session in the whole run. That afternoon, the swell comes from the ESE. Monday the 3rd of August morning sees a 3ft SE swell with a very short period of just 5 seconds, which means weak, crumbly waves. The wind stays cross-offshore light, so it’s clean but the period’s too short for any real power.
After that, it fades again. From the 4th onward we’re back to knee-high slop, mostly 0.7ft to 2ft, with onshore or cross-onshore winds and low energy (often under 50). A few glassy moments pop up on the 5th and 8th August mornings, but with swell that small, it’s barely worth paddling out.
To be honest, if you’ve got a kite, the stronger onshore wind days (like 19 mph from the SSW on the 31st July) might look more interesting than a surfboard. But for a paddle surfer, there’s no standout. The only session that comes close to being worthwhile is that Sunday the 2nd August afternoon. Keep an eye on the forecasts – sometimes things change, but right now it’s a long flat spell broken only by one average window.
Stay hopeful.

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.
