The Lowdown

Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s talk about what’s in store for Hangers.

First off, I’ve gotta be straight with you – the next two weeks are looking pretty grim for anything worth paddling out for. For the first ten days, it’s a real write-off, with nothing but tiny, weak waves and poor conditions. The energy is just pathetic, barely registering a whisper, with the combined swell energy hanging around in the low double digits. We’re looking at a long, dry spell from now until about the 17th of August. There’s just no swell to speak of, and when there is a bump, the wind is messing it up.

The first real glimmer of hope, and it’s a faint one, shows up on the morning of Tuesday the 18th of August. The wind will be light and cross-offshore from the northwest, cleaning things up nicely. The swell is tiny, only about 2 ft from the ESE, but the period stretches out to 9 seconds, giving it a bit more shape than the junk we’ve seen. The combined energy is a modest 73. It’s surfable, but honestly, it’s very ordinary. You’d be scraping for little crumbly waves.

The one standout, if you can call it that, is the morning of Wednesday the 19th of August. The wind swings around to the east-northeast and goes glassy – dead calm. That is a major positive. The swell is the same size, 2 ft from the east, with a solid 9-second period. The combined energy sits at 67. It’s going to be clean, with those little glassy lines. For a log or a funboard, it might just be the most fun you can have in this entire flat spell, but it’s definitely not for experts or anyone looking for power.

The rest of the period after that is more of the same – small, onshore, and messy. There’s just no punch here. It’s a tough outlook for Hangers.

Rusty.

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.
