The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Hangers over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I’m lookin’ at this run and it’s a bit of a tough one. We’re talkin’ a long stretch of not much to get excited about. The whole 16-day window is a real struggle for decent surf. There’s a big gap of poor conditions right from the start, with barely a wave worth paddlin’ for until we get into the second week.
The first solid chance we see doesn’t arrive until the morning of Wednesday, September 9th. Even then, it’s not a classic. We’ve got a small 1ft swell rollin’ in from the ENE with a period of 11 seconds – that’s a bit of groundswell energy, which is a positive, and the combined energy is a measly 82, so it’s weak. The real kicker here is the wind. We’ve got glassy conditions, which is a major positive. The water’s sitting at 86°F with a normal anomaly for this time of year, so it’s bathwater. You’ll get a few grovelly little waves, but it’s just surfable, nothin’ to write home about. The afternoon on the 9th sees the wind switch onshore and the quality drops straight back to poor.
Beyond that, there’s a little flicker on the morning of Tuesday, September 8th, when it goes glassy, but the swell is a tiny 1ft – that’s just a flat, glassy lake. Not a surfable wave.
So, if you’re desperate for a paddle, the clear, glassy Wednesday morning of the 9th is your only real window, but keep your expectations on the floor. It’s a beach-and-reef setup, but with such tiny, weak swell, it’s not gonna offer much. Usually, when it’s this blank for this long, it’s a bit more normal for the area, but it’s still a bummer. Forecasts can change, but right now, the outlook is a tough one.
Rusty signing off.

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.
