The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let's size up what this stretch of ocean is dishing out. I'll be honest, it's a long, slow grind for the next couple of weeks. The only spot in the conversation is Hangers, and even that's a tough sell for a while.
For the first nine days or so, the story is flat to tiny, messy surf. There's a big gap with a whole lot of nothing. The waves are too small, the wind is wrong—mostly onshore and choppy. It's a write-off. You'll be surfing a puddle if you try.
The first real chance to wet a line comes on the morning of Thursday, September 3rd. The swell is a tiny 2 feet from the East with an 11-second period. The magic is in the wind: it's glassy, dead calm. That water will be like a sheet of glass. Perfect for a longboard. The combined energy is still a low 88, so it's weak, but for a clean, small-day surf, this is your best bet.
Next, the morning of Saturday, September 5th shows another small pulse. Same story: a tiny 2-foot East swell with a 10-second period. The wind flips light offshore from the West, which will groom those little waves. The combined energy is weak at 97, but an offshore wind on a tiny day is a big positive.
Don't get excited about anything else. The swell stays small, and the wind goes back to being a pain. There's a glassy morning on the 6th, but the swell is just too tiny to surf.
For beginners, the water is never going to be big enough to be scary, but it's also never going to be good. For everyone else, your best windows are the mornings of the 3rd and the 5th. After that, expect more flatness.
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.
