The Lowdown

Gather 'round, folks. Rusty here. Looking at the charts for the next 16 days, and I gotta be straight with you – it's a tough stretch. We're staring down the barrel of a long, flat spell with hardly anything to get excited about. The only spot on the radar is Hangers, a beach and reef setup for the advanced crew, but it's not looking good.

For the first week and a half, from Friday the 21st of August right through to Saturday the 30th of August, it's a write-off. We're talking tiny, weak swell—mostly 1 foot to 2 feet from the east with poor energy readings around 17 to 69. The wind is all over the place, mostly cross-on or onshore, and it's making a mess of things. The forecasters are calling it "poor surf conditions" every single session. There's no point even thinking about paddling out.

Then, on Sunday the 30th of August, we get a little flicker of hope. The morning brings a glassy 2-foot swell from the ESE, and for the first time, the forecast shifts to "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions." It's still not good, but it's something. The combined swell energy is a measly 56, so it's weak.

Monday the 31st of August morning is a similar story: glassy, 3 feet from the ESE, but the period is a short, choppy 6 seconds, and the energy is only 68. It's "surfable" but barely. The afternoons get ruined by onshore winds again.

After that, we're back to the doldrums. There's a notable spike on the 1st of September with a morning glassy session and a 1-foot swell from the ESE with a 15-second period, giving a moderate energy of 113. That's a very long period groundswell, so it'll have some push, but it's tiny. It might make a point break or reef work better, but this is a beach and reef setup, so it might be a bit too straight. The rest of the first week of September is small, weak, and choppy, and it fades out completely by the 5th of September.

The standout, if you can call it that, is Sunday the 30th of August morning. It's the only time we get a glassy morning with a bit of size and a "surfable" rating. The swell is 2 feet from the ESE. It's not going to be epic, but it's the best of a bad bunch. For the advanced crew, it's worth a look if you're desperate. Otherwise, save your energy.

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.
