Alright, this is Rusty checking in with the outlook for Hangers. Let's be straight with each other.

Look, I've been staring at the charts for the next couple of weeks, and honestly, it's a bit of a dry spell we're going through here. We're looking at a solid block of time where the surf just isn't going to get going. For the first several days and stretching deep into the period, the waves are tiny – we're talking small dribblers of 1 to 2 feet at best. The energy just isn't there; most of these swells are pushing out a weak combined energy reading (25 to 35) which is barely enough to crumble on the sandbars. It's going to be a tough time to find a proper wave to ride.

The wind is going to be a constant pain too, coming mostly from the south through southeast, putting us on a cross-onshore direction for most of the daylight hours. That's going to chop things up and make whatever little bumps there are look pretty average. The water temp is sitting at 86°, which is about a touch warmer than normal for the time of year, so at least you won't freeze while you're fighting the small stuff.

There is a brief glimmer on the morning of Thursday the 23rd of July, where we see a little push in swell height up to 2 feet, coming from the southeast with a period of 4 seconds. But the combined energy is still only at 42, which tells a story of weak, sloppy, disorganized swell. The wind looks like a gentle cross-shore that morning, so it might be the least ugly session of the whole outlook.

If you're absolutely desperate for a paddle, Hangers is an advanced, fairly consistent beach and reef setup. Because it's advanced, it can handle some size, but there's no real size on the menu. The optimum direction for this spot is from the northeast, and we're seeing nothing but east-southeast to southeast direction throughout. It's just a mismatch. The water is a touch warmer than normal, but that's hardly a silver lining.

Because the surf is so weak and the winds are often messy, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing if you want to get any kind of thrill.

To wrap it up, there's nothing like a standout session in this 16-day window. It’s a long stretch of poor conditions with very little to get excited about. Forecasts can change, and it tends not to stay this flat forever, but right now, you might want to save your wax for another week.

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.
