The Lowdown
Alright, grab a coffee and listen up.
Mate, it’s a tough one. The charts are showing next to nothing for the foreseeable future. We’re looking at a long, dry spell with barely a ripple on offer. For the next 16 days, it’s a flat-out struggle to find anything worth paddling out for. There’s a massive gap of no real surf, so don't be holding your breath for the next week and a half.
The first real glimmer of hope comes right at the very end of the run, on Friday the 31st of July. Even then, it’s a small, weak affair. The best of a bad bunch is Hangers. It's a beach and reef setup, fairly exposed, but it needs a proper NE swell to work, and that's what we might get.
On Friday morning the 31st, we get a tiny pulse of waist-high swell, about 2 feet, coming from the NE. The wind will be light offshore from the W, which is a major positive. It’ll be clean and glassy with a gentle offshore breeze, making it look a lot better than it is. The combined energy is weak, only 36 (moderate wave energy), and the period is a short 7 seconds, so it won't have much punch. It’s advanced-level stuff at this size, but for a Friday morning, it might just be worth a paddle for a few closeout walls.
Another small window appears on the 1st of August, Saturday morning. The swell stays small at about 2 feet from the NE, but the wind goes glassy, dropping to a faint 3 mph offshore from the W. It’ll be dead clean. The energy is still weak at 47 (moderate wave energy), and the period is a short 8 seconds. It’s nothing to write home about, but if you’re desperate, it’s the cleanest option we’ve got.
Crowds are possible at Hangers, but with surf this small and weak, I doubt many will be out. The water temperature is about 84°, which is bang on average for this time of year, so no wetsuit needed.
The long and short of it is: don’t stress. The whole period is a write-off for any decent surf. It’s a total blank run, which is more normal for this area than you’d think. The forecasts can change, but for now, go for a skate or a fish.

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.
