The Lowdown
Righto, let’s have a look at what’s on the table for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, mate, it’s a tough stretch for Hangers. We’re looking at a pretty flat run overall. The first proper surf recommendation doesn’t pop up until the very end of July, and even then, it’s a struggle. From the start of the outlook right through to the first week of August, there are days and days of barely a ripple, with no real surf to get excited about. We’re talking a big, quiet gap until we see anything worth paddling out for.
Hangers (beach and reef) is the only break in the mix here, and it’s a fairly consistent spot, but the ocean just isn’t cooperating. The water temp is sitting at about 85°F, which is bang on average for this time of year, so at least the humidity is bearable.
The first hint of something kicks off around Sunday, August 2nd. The afternoon sees a tiny pulse of swell, 3 ft from the ESE with a short period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is still weak at 77. Wind is light and cross-shore, so it’ll be clean but gutless. The wave comment says “poor surf conditions,” and honestly, it’s barely a knee-high dribble. This is not one for the standout list.
The best on offer across the whole 16 days, and I use the term “best” loosely, is Sunday, August 9th morning. We get a proper glassy session with the wind dropping to zero from the NW. The swell is still tiny at 1 ft from the ESE with a period of 7 seconds, and the combined energy is a meagre 15. It’ll be clean as a whistle, but you’ll be fighting for a little ripple on a longboard. For a complete flat spell, that glassy window is your only real chance for a peaceful, tiny-wave session.
After that, it’s back to the same story: small, short-period pulses from the ESE and ENE, mostly blown out by cross-onshore seabreezes in the afternoons. There’s no size, no power, and no proper groundswell to speak of. The whole period is just a wait for something better.
Stay patient, or drag the kite out if you’ve got one, because this stretch is a write-off for proper surfing.

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.
