The Lowdown

Alright, let me look over what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks. The bad news first, Hangers is the only place we can talk about, and honestly, for most of the run-up, it’s just not pulling through. The swell is tiny, the period is short, and the energy is flat. We’re looking at a real long patch of nothing special.

Right now, starting Friday the 24th of July, it’s a no-go. We’ve got a risk of thunderstorms, wind onshore from the ENE at 9 mph, and only 0.7ft of weak, short-period E swell. The combined energy is a low 63, and it’s poor. The water temp here is pretty ordinary for July, nothing wild.

Saturday the 25th is a write-off too – same ankle-high slop, wind gets worse in the afternoon. Sunday the 26th shows a glimmer: the morning has some offshore wind from the west at 6 mph, and while it’s only 0.5ft with energy at 30, the surface will be clean. It’s tiny, but if you’re desperate for a log, you could get some knee-high dribbles. Monday the 27th morning is similar with offshore wind but the swell drops to 0.4ft.

The pattern just keeps going: we don’t see anything breaking the 3ft mark until Sunday the 2nd of August. That morning stays small, but the afternoon has a sudden jump – the swell bumps up to 2.9ft from the SE with energy hitting 132, which is moderate. The period is still short at 8 seconds, but the wind is cross-off from the WNW at 18 mph, so it’ll be clean. That Sunday afternoon is probably your best chance in the whole period, but it’s still small for a beach-and-reef setup.

Monday the 3rd of August morning is notable because the wind goes glassy – ENE at just 3 mph – but the swell is a pathetic 0.4ft from the south with a 5-second period and energy of 42. It’s clean, but you’re basically floating. After that, it’s back to onshore slop and tiny surf for the rest of the run into the second week.

Further out, on Friday the 7th of August afternoon, we see a bit of a long-period pulse: 0.2ft from the ENE with a 12-second period and energy of 35. That’s a groundswell signal, but 0.2ft is barely a ripple. Saturday the 8th has similar tiny stuff. Everything is too small and weak to get excited about.

Honestly, if I’m being straight with you, this is a forgettable stretch. Hangers is a fairly consistent spot normally, but here we’ve got over a week of barely any swell. The standout, if you can call it that, is Sunday the 2nd of August afternoon – that 2.9ft with clean cross-off wind is the only time the energy gets into moderate territory. Even then, it’s not big, and the short period means it’ll be a bit crumbly. Beginners might find it okay since it’s not over 5ft.

For kite surfers? The afternoons with strong cross-onshore wind and choppy water, like Saturday the 25th and Monday the 27th, look more interesting for riding with a kite than a paddle board.

Stay patient, mate. It won’t stay this flat forever.

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.
