Table - best surf conditions forecast for Hangers over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here, and I’ve got the long-range picture for you.
Honestly, it’s a pretty flat start. The next week or so is a tough one for us. The first time I see anything even worth mentioning is on Sunday, July 19th – and even that’s a marginal call. Up until then, we’re staring down a solid run of poor surf with tiny, weak waves. The combined energy is barely registering – numbers like 39 in the early days, climbing to the mid 60s and 70s later, which is just weak, anemic stuff (39-77 combined swell energy). There’s a brutal stretch of cross-onshore winds and choppy conditions eating up what little bump there is. You’d be wasting your time.
Now, the one break on offer is Hangers. It’s a beach and reef setup, fairly consistent, and it faces the right direction for a NE swell, but we just aren’t getting the goods. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no wild surprises there.
The only faint glimmer in this whole outlook is Sunday morning, July 19th. We finally see a jump to a 3ft swell from the SE, with a short period of 6 seconds. The wind goes light cross-off from the SW (9 mph), which will clean things up nicely. The combined energy hits 67, which is still weak, but it’s the best we’ve got. That afternoon, the swell bumps to 4ft, the wind stays light cross-off, and conditions are clean. It’s not going to be pumping, but the waves will be rideable for those who just need to get wet. For an advanced break like Hangers, this is small and soft, but the clean surface makes it the standout of the 16-day window. Expect crowds to be possible.
After that, we drop back into tiny surf and strong winds. This is a drought period, plain and simple. Not much to get excited about, but it never stays flat forever – forecasts can change.
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.
