The Lowdown
Right folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it for Hangers. We’re lookin’ at a pretty bleak stretch ahead, I gotta be honest with ya. Through the whole 16-day window, it’s mostly flat, tiny, and messy. There’s barely a moment worth paddlin’ out for, so if you’re hangin’ for a wave, you’ll be waitin’ a while.
The first real chance of anything doesn’t show up until Tuesday afternoon, the 1st of September. Even then, it’s only a weak 2ft easterly swell bumpin’ in with a period of 8 seconds. The energy is weak and scattered (137). The wind, though, goes glassy – that’s rare and a big positive. The waves will be clean, but they’re gonna be small and weak. It’s more of a longboard or a funboard session, if anything. The water temp is a touch warmer than normal at 86°F.
Then we get a bit of a pulse on Wednesday afternoon, the 2nd of September. Swell pushes up to 3ft from the east, period at 10 seconds, and the energy jumps into the moderate range (201). That’s the biggest swell of the whole outlook. But it’s a cruisy onshore wind from the ENE at 9 mph, so it’ll be choppy and sloppy. Not a great combo.
Tuesday morning, the 8th of September, offers a little hope. Clean offshore wind from the south at 6 mph, with a 1ft, 11-second easterly groundswell. The energy is still low (58), but the conditions will be clean. It’s a tiny wave, but it’s your best chance for a glassy, workable little peak if you’re desperate.
Honestly, the standout of the whole period is that Tuesday afternoon, the 1st of September. Glassy conditions on a tiny wave are better than anything else on offer. The water’s a touch warmer than usual, and the wind is perfect. The surf is poor, but that one session is the only one with a shred of quality.
The rest of the time is a write-off. Tiny swell, poor wind, or both. It’s a long, quiet run for Hangers. Keep your gear waxed and hope the forecasts change.
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.
