The Lowdown

Alright, let’s break it down for Hangers. The next 16 days are a real grind, mate. From Sunday the 16th of August right through to the end of the month, it’s mostly flat. The swell runs from 1ft to 2ft, weak and short-period, with wave energy between 14 and 95 (that’s feeble to nothing). The water’s sitting at 86°, which is about normal for the time of year.

The wind is light and variable, with a few clean mornings—like the 18th, 19th, 20th, and 22nd—but it doesn’t matter when there’s nothing to ride. The 26th of August morning is glassy, but still only 2ft to 2ft and 7 seconds—just not enough.

The only real pulse comes at the very end. On Thursday the 27th of August morning, we get a small bump: 2ft from the ESE, period jumps to 12 seconds, and energy hits 84 (still weak). The wind is cross-off from the SSW, so it’s clean. The report says “surfable waves but very ordinary.” That’s the best we’ll see. Then Friday the 28th of August morning, glassy again with a 2ft, 10-second E swell and energy at 71—again, surfable but nothing special.

So, standout? There’s no real standout. If you’re really keen, the Thursday 27th morning is your best bet, but it’s still small. Hangers is a beach and reef setup, fairly exposed, and it needs a proper NE swell, which we’re not getting. This whole run is small, weak, short-period E/ESE swell, no power, no punch.

For a surf, it’s a long, flat spell with a tiny, ordinary bump at the end. Honestly, this setup might be more interesting for kite surfing if you get the wind. For paddle surfing? Not much happening.

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.
