Table - best surf conditions forecast for Hangers over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this outlook is a tough one to write. I’ve scanned the whole 16-day window for Hangers, and it’s a real desert out there. The break is a beach and reef setup, and it’s fairly consistent, so it *can* pick up swell, but the conditions just aren't cooperating.
We’ve got a bit of a blank run on our hands. There’s a gap of clean, rideable surf for the entire first week and a half. You’ll be waiting for a while before anything even remotely interesting shows up. Most of the time we’re dealing with small, weak waves under 2 ft, and the wind is a persistent problem from the SE and SSE, which puts it cross-on or cross-shore for Hangers. The combined wave energy is weak, spending most of the time in the double digits, so there’s no power behind it.
The water temperature is sitting at 86°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – a bit of a tropical bath. With the lack of swell and the choppy wind, it’s a tough call to even get wet.
The only real standout I can see is a very brief window of hope. On Thursday, July 23rd, the morning shows a pulse of energy. The swell picks up to 3 ft from the ESE with a period of just 7 seconds. The combined energy jumps to 111 (moderate), so there’s finally some juice. The wind is from the SSE at 12 mph, making it a cross-shore, so it’ll be a bit of a chop. This is the best of a bad bunch, but it’s still not great. For a break that needs an optimum swell from the NE, this ESE direction is not ideal.
For the rest of the period, you’re mostly looking at clean, glassy conditions on some mornings (like the 14th of July) but with absolutely no swell to push you around. Don’t bother. The setup is more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer during the onshore afternoons.
The forecasts can change, so keep an eye on it, but as it stands, this is a long stretch of waiting.

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.
