The Lowdown
Alright, this is a tough run for Hangers. For the first week and a half, it’s a dead loss – tiny surf and wind that’s all over the place.
The first real chance to get wet comes Wednesday, September 23rd. That ENE swell pushes to about 2ft to 3ft with a period around 10 seconds, giving it some push. The combined energy is moderate (110-137), and the wind settles in as cross-off from the SSW. That means clean, smooth waves. Thursday the 24th holds, too, with that same consistency.
Then Friday, September 25th – that morning might be the pick of the whole run. The swell is smaller at about 2ft, but the wind goes light offshore from the west, basically glassy. That’s clean, user-friendly conditions for a spot like Hangers (beach and reef). The energy is only moderate (86), but the quality will be there for a longboard or mid-length.
That Friday morning is your standout. Everything before that is either too small, blown out, or both. The water is sitting around 86°F, which is a touch warmer than average for this time of year.
After the 25th, the charts get messy again. So, hold out for this late-week window – it’s the only real surf on offer.

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.
