The Lowdown
Alright, let's be straight with you. The surf forecast for Hangers is looking pretty bleak for a while. You're gonna be staring at a flat, bumpy ocean for over a week. The first ten days or so are just a write-off – tiny, weak swells with cross-shore winds making everything a mess. Don't bother.
When the water temp is sitting at 85°F with an anomaly of 1°F, that’s about par for the course around here. So, the water will be warm when you finally get in.
The first real chance you get is on Monday, September 21st, in the morning. We finally see some energy, with a combined reading of 111. The swell is a small 3ft from the ENE with a short 7-second period, so it’s not going to be a world-beater. But the wind will be glassy at first, which will help keep it clean. It’s not a standout, but it’s the only thing on the board.
Later that day, the swell pushes up to 4ft, and the energy jumps to 263, but the wind turns onshore and the period drops off. That’s going to ruin it. Choppy and messy.
Tuesday, September 22nd, sees the swell drop back to 4ft with a weak 6-second period, and it’s still onshore. Not good.
So, don't hold your breath. There’s nothing here worth getting excited about. The only time the swell gets anywhere near interesting is that Monday morning the 21st, and even then, it’s short-period and likely to be a bit jumbled. Keep the board in the car, but maybe not too close.

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.
