The Lowdown

Alright, this is Rusty, and I’m not gonna sugarcoat it. Lookin’ at the next 16 days for Hangers, and it’s a bummer of a forecast. The first week is basically a write-off.

Overall Pattern (18 August – 30 August)
The first ten days are a flat, frustrating stretch. Swell is tiny, only 0.9ft to 1ft, and the energy numbers are weak, barely cracking 40. Mornings can be clean, but the afternoons get messy with onshore wind. It’s not worth getting your hopes up.

The Standout
About the only pulse worth a second look comes on Sunday, 23 August in the afternoon. We get a 2ft swell from the ESE with a 12-second period. The energy jumps to 117, which is the most we see all forecast. The water is a warm 87°, which is a touch warmer than normal. The wind is from the SE at 6 mph, so it’s onshore and a little bumpy. It’s not perfect, but it’s the best wave of the period.

The Rest of the Run (24 August – 2 September)
After that, it’s back to the same story. Clean mornings with light offshore winds, but the swell is pathetic, 0.6ft to 2ft. The afternoons get choppy and blown out. The energy is low, and the waves are just not there. It’s a long, quiet stretch.

Bottom Line
There’s no real stand-out session here. The 23rd is the only day with any pulse, but it’s nothing to write home about. For a break that’s usually fairly consistent, this is a rough run. The waves are too small for anyone but a total beginner, and even then, there’s nothing to ride. It’s a dry spell, plain and simple.

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.
