The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's look at what's cooking.
Honestly, for the next 16 days, it's a tough stretch. From the 23rd of July right through to the 7th of August, the surf is pretty much a no-go – a real flat spell with no real energy to get excited about. The swell is tiny, never cracking 3ft, and the period is short, around 8 seconds, so there's no push or power behind it. The combined energy is weak, barely reaching 76 at its best, and most days it's down in the teens or twenties. That's not surf, that's a lake.
There's a few morning windows with offshore winds at Hangers, like the 26th, 27th, and 30th of July, where the water will look clean and glassy, but the swell is just too small to ride. You'd be floating around on a 1ft to 2ft ripple – a real morning paddle, not a surf. The water temperature was sitting at 85°F as of the 23rd of July, which is about normal for this time of year, so at least it'll be warm while you're sitting there waiting.
Because there's a bit of swell direction and some wind, but no real wave height, the Hangers setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer, especially on the afternoons with a solid cross-onshore breeze.
So, the short and sorry of it is: there are no good surf options in this 16-day window. It's a blank run, and for this area, that's just how it goes sometimes. Forecasts can change, but for now, leave the board in the garage.

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.
