The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let me tell you, it's a pretty grim picture for the next couple of weeks. We're looking at a long stretch of small, weak, and messy conditions. There's a gap of about 15 days with no real recommendations, so don't be expecting any kind of quality session. The forecast is what it is, and right now, it's a waiting game.
The first glimmer of something rideable is on Monday, August 3rd, at Hangers. It's a beach and reef setup, and it's fairly consistent. The water here is sitting at 84.0°F, which is pretty much average for this time of year. You'll have a tiny 2.6ft swell rolling in from the ESE, with a period of 8 seconds, and the combined wave energy is a weak 110. The saving grace is that the wind is glassy, so the surface will be clean. It's surfable, but honestly, it's the start of a very ordinary run.
After that, it's a whole lot of nothing. From Tuesday, August 4th, right through to the end of the forecast on Tuesday, August 18th, every single session is flagged as poor. The swell just doesn't get its act together, staying below 3.3ft most of the time and often coming in under 1.6ft. The combined energy stays in the weak to moderate range, with the highest reading being 277 on Friday, August 7th, but even then the wind is onshore and the conditions are poor. The wind is almost always onshore or cross-onshore, keeping everything choppy and ugly. We see a few moments of glassy or cross-offshore winds on the 15th and 16th, but with waves only 0.7ft to 1.0ft, there's just no energy to work with. For a spot that's a beach and reef, the onshore wind just makes it a mess. It's the kind of setup that would be more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
There's nothing here that stands out as a good option. The best you can hope for is Monday afternoon, August 3rd, for a clean but tiny wave. For beginners, this is fine, but for anyone else, this is a stretch to skip. It's a tough outlook, but that's the reality of it. The forecast can change, but for now, don't hold your breath.

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.
