The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the table for the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, the outlook for Hangers is pretty quiet for the majority of the forecast period. This is a beach and reef setup that’s fairly exposed, and it’s optimised for a north-east swell. The problem is, we’re looking at a very long stretch of small, weak surf. The combined energy of all swells directed here is mostly in the teens and twenties, which is weak energy – we’re talking about waves that are rarely pushing above 2ft. There’s a big gap of nothing happening. For the first few days, through Monday the 7th and well into the middle of the month, the surf is just too small and messy to bother with. The best you’ll see is a brief window on Tuesday afternoon the 8th, where the wind goes glassy and the swell is a tiny 1.0ft from the east-north-east with a period of 11 seconds. That’s a long period for such a small wave, and it might offer a few clean, knee-high lumps if you’re desperate, but the score is low. The water temperature is about average for the time of year.
The real standout, if you can call it that, comes on Sunday the 20th of September. The morning brings a clean cross-offshore wind from the south-west at 12 mph, with a swell of 2ft from the east-north-east, period 7 seconds. The combined energy climbs to 50, which is still weak, but it’s the best we see. The afternoon holds that clean cross-offshore breeze, with the same 2ft swell and the energy edging up to 56. The wave comment finally says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” It’s not a standout by any means, but for this stretch, it’s the only time the wind and waves line up enough to give you a few clean, rideable faces. The shorter period of 7 seconds means it won’t be groundswell, but it’ll be peaky and fun for a longboard or a foamie. Don’t expect any crowds – it’s too small and inconsistent for that.
For the rest of the second week, from Monday the 21st onward, it’s back to tiny onshore slop. Nothing to get excited about. The periods are short, the energy is low, and the wind is mostly onshore. It’s a real quiet spell, and this is one of those times where you just have to wait for the next system to roll in.
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.
