The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk shop about Hangers. Strap in, because the next 16 days look pretty grim for anything decent.
It’s a real slow cooker start. From Monday the 13th, all the way through that week and well into the next, the swell is tiny. We’re looking at 0.7ft to 2ft from the ESE or E, with short periods of 7 to 9 seconds. The wave energy numbers are all bottom-of-the-barrel (10 to 70), so there’s just no pull. The wind is mostly cross, cross-on, or cross-off. There’s a glassy window the morning of Thursday the 16th, but with only 1ft of swell, it’s a tease – not enough to ride. The crowds here are "sometimes", but there won’t be anyone out for this. The report calls it “poor” for surfing right through this stretch.
We’re looking at a two-week stretch of almost nothing worthwhile.
The only flicker of hope comes on Sunday, July 26th. That morning we get a 2ft swell from the E at 9 seconds, with a combined energy of 74 – still weak, but it’s the biggest of the whole run. The wind is light and cross-off from the WSW in the morning, cleaning it up, and the afternoon goes glassy from the SW. Conditions bump up to “surfable waves but very ordinary”. It’s no classic day, but if you’re jonesing, the 26th is the pick of a bad lot at Hangers. Expect small, weak lines. It’s under 5ft, so fine for beginners, but don’t expect any power.
Water temp is 86°F, which is 2°F above the norm. It’s a little warmer than usual for this time, but nothing wild.
In short, the next two weeks are a slog. Forecasts can change, and it doesn’t stay this quiet forever, but for now, keep the board in the car and the expectations low.

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.
