Table - best surf conditions forecast for Hangers over the next 16 days.
The Lowdown
Right, let’s have a look at what’s on offer. Hangers is a beach and reef setup, and it's the only spot in the mix. The water temp is sitting at 84°, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
Honestly, it’s a grim outlook for the next 16 days. The first few days are a write-off — Saturday the 1st and Sunday the 2nd have tiny, weak swell with poor conditions. You’re looking at 0.7ft to 1ft from the east or east-southeast, with a short period around 8 to 9 seconds, and the combined energy is barely registering (10 to 25). Winds are cross-off or offshore, so the surface might look clean, but there’s simply no power to push a wave.
Monday the 3rd offers a tiny glimmer. The morning shows a 3ft southeast swell with a period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy ticks up to 126 (moderate). Still, it’s labelled “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions,” and the wind is a light cross-offshore. That’s the best of the whole run, but let’s be real — it’s a long way from pumping.
From Tuesday the 4th right through to Sunday the 16th, it’s a relentless run of poor surf. Swell sizes hover between 1ft and 3ft, mostly from the east or east-southeast, with periods between 5 and 8 seconds. The combined energy mostly stays in the weak range (14 to 100), and the winds are almost always cross-on or onshore, often bringing choppy, messy conditions. There’s nothing here that would get a surfer out of bed.
The break is fairly consistent, but when the swell is this small and the wind is this average, it doesn’t matter. The setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, to be honest. For a proper surf, you’ll have to wait for a change in the charts.

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.
