Table - best surf conditions forecast for Hangers over the next 16 days.
Alright, let me tell you how things are shaping up at Hangers. The truth is, for the next couple of weeks, we’re looking at a pretty flat spell. The data shows we’ll be stuck with a very weak, short-period swell from the ESE for the entire run. The combined energy is really low – we’re talking values of just 21 (weak energy) at best, and often dropping into the single digits. There’s no standout, no real juice to get excited about.
Right out of the gate, Saturday the 11th, you’ll find tiny 1ft to 2ft waves. The wind won't be doing us any favors either, coming from the SSE creating a cross-onshore bump. It’s gonna be a messy, choppy affair. Honestly, not worth paddling out for. A tough start.
The theme continues through Sunday the 12th and Monday the 13th. The swell stays in that 1ft to 2ft range, and while we get some cleaner conditions with a light cross-offshore breeze on the mornings, the wave energy is just pathetic. You’re looking at combined energy in the teens (16-19 on the scale). There’s nothing here to ride.
We hit a major positive note on Wednesday morning the 15th and again on Friday morning the 17th. You’ll get glassy conditions with a light NW wind, but unfortunately, it’s on top of that same tiny 0.6ft to 0.9ft swell. It’s clean, sure, but with combined energy at 23 and 16, it’s essentially flat. You could probably sit on your board and have a coffee, but not much else.
The following week is a carbon copy. From Saturday the 18th through to the end of the period on Sunday the 26th of July, it’s the same story: tiny 0.6ft to 1ft ESE swell with periods between 7 and 9 seconds. The combined energy stays pathetically low, between 6 and 20. There are a few glassy or clean moments on the morning of Tuesday the 22nd and some afternoons later in the week, but with no swell to work with, it's just a tease.
In short, mate, this is a prolonged, flat run. There isn't a single session in the 16-day window that I’d call a recommendation. The water temp is a touch warmer than normal for the time of year at 86°, but that’s about the only highlight. The only thing that might be of interest here is if the wind picks up on the afternoons, but for a surfboard? Don’t bother. Maybe the kite surfers will get a look in on the choppier days, but for paddle surfing, the board stays in the car.
Stay patient,
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.

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.
