The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get straight into it. The outlook for the next 16 days is a tough one. We've got a run of really small, weak surf that's just not going to deliver much for paddle surfing. The combined wave energy is weak throughout, sitting at only 16 on the first morning and barely cracking 60 on a few days. The water temp is sitting at a warm 84°, which is about normal for the time of year.
The only spot with any data is Hangers, a beach and reef setup that's fairly exposed. It's an advanced wave, and it's fairly consistent, but the swells are tiny and the conditions are poor. The swell direction is mostly ESE, which is off from the optimum NE direction. The periods are short, under 8 seconds, meaning weak, disorganized waves. Honestly, for the first week, we're looking at a lot of stormy afternoons and cross-onshore winds. The morning of Tuesday the 4th has a glassy 2ft, but it's still poor surf. The only real standouts are the glassy mornings on Wednesday the 12th and the clean conditions on Sunday the 16th, but even then the swell is a paltry 2ft and 1ft respectively. There's nothing here that's worth getting excited about, and the wind is often cross-on. For experienced surfers, it's a blank run. For the rest of us, it might be more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing on the days with stronger wind and that tiny chop.
Alright, that's the long and short of it. I'll be checking the charts, but for now, keep your boards waxed and your hopes up.

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.
