The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, with the same story in feet and knots.
Looking at the 16-day window for Hangers, it’s a long, quiet stretch. The first real chance to even think about paddling out doesn’t show up until Tuesday the 28th of July, and even then, it’s barely a whisper. From now until then, it’s a massive gap of nothing but small, weak, and mostly messy conditions. The wind is often onshore or cross-on, and the swell heights barely tickle 2ft. The combined energy stays below 100 (weak) for almost the entire period. It’s a tough run for a spot that’s fairly consistent, but this is one of those blank spells that can happen.
Tuesday morning, July 28th – this is the one to bookmark. We finally see a tiny pulse of energy. The swell picks up to 2ft from the east, with a period of 9 seconds. The combined energy creeps up to 82 (still weak), but the wind is light and offshore from the SSW, making it clean. The water temp is sitting at 86°, which is about average for this time of year. It’s small, it’s ordinary, but it’s surfable. Hangers (beach and reef) is pretty exposed to the east-northeast, which matches the swell direction reasonably well. This is a spot for advanced surfers, and with the tiny size, it won’t be a challenge, but it’s the only window where the conditions aren’t completely blown out.
Wednesday morning, July 29th is a similar story: 2ft from the east-southeast, light offshore wind from the southwest, and clean. It’s a bit smaller, but still a better bet than anything else on offer.
Honestly, if you’re desperate for a paddle, the 28th morning is your best shot. The rest of the window is a write-off with cross-on breezes and junk. For a beach-and-reef setup like this, with the wind and tiny swell, it’s looking more like a kiteboarding session than a surf. Keep an eye on the forecasts, though – things can change.
Rusty out.

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.
