The Lowdown
Alright, I’ve been staring at the charts for a while, and I gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough stretch coming up for Hangers. We’ve got a solid 16-day window, but there’s not a lot to get excited about. The swell is tiny and the wind is mostly working against us, so we’re looking at a long period of poor surf. There’s no standout day, no real moment where it all comes together.
Let’s start from the beginning. For Thursday, 23 July, and Friday, 24 July, the swell is a weak 2 ft to 3 ft from the east, with a short, disappointing period of 8 seconds. The wind is onshore, coming out of the east and east-northeast at 6 to 9 mph, so the surface is gonna be a mess. The combined wave energy is a measly 35 to 82 (weak energy), and honestly, it’s not worth paddling out for.
We get a little break in the wind on Saturday morning, 25 July, with a light cross-shore breeze, but the swell is still only 2 ft and weak. Saturday afternoon gets choppy again with a stronger cross-onshore wind. Then, on Sunday, 26 July, the wind finally goes offshore out of the west-southwest, but the swell has dropped to just 2 ft. The combined energy is only 31 to 34, and with that tiny size, it’s barely rideable. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
Monday, 27 July, looks glassy in the afternoon with a risk of thunderstorms and no wind, but the swell is a pathetic 1 ft with 20 to 22 combined energy. You’d be fighting for scraps on a longboard. From Tuesday, 28 July, all the way through to Friday, 07 August, we are stuck in a pattern of tiny swell – never exceeding 2 ft – and a period that stays between 7 and 9 seconds. The wind is often offshore or cross-offshore, so the surface will be clean, but the wave size is just not there. The energy levels are almost always below 40, which means we’re in a flat spell.
Even on Saturday, 01 August, and Sunday, 02 August, when we see a tiny bump to 2 ft, it’s still poor surf. The wind is offshore and clean, but the waves are just too small to generate any decent ride.
In short, mates, don’t bother waxing up for the next two weeks. There’s nothing here for a surfer. The combined energy never breaks into the moderate zone, and the swell direction is all wrong for Hangers, which prefers something from the northeast. It’s a total bust.

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.
