The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ve gotta be straight with you – the next 16 days at Hangers are a write-off. There’s not a single decent surf window in sight. The whole forecast is a flat, choppy mess. We’re looking at a solid 16-day gap with no recommendations, which is a real bummer for this break.
The water temp is sitting right on average for the time of year at 84°, nothing unusual there.
The only break on the cards is Hangers, a beach and reef setup. But the numbers don’t lie. The combined swell energy never gets out of the weak zone, mostly sitting between 21 and 160 – that’s all low to moderate energy, and it’s just not enough to push anything worth paddling for. The swell is tiny, 1.0 ft to 4 ft, and it’s coming from the E or ESE with a short period of 4 to 8 seconds – that’s weak, wind-driven chop, not groundswell.
The real killer is the wind. For most of the period, it’s onshore or cross-onshore from the E, ESE, or SE, blowing anywhere from 6 mph to 16 mph. That’s going to mess up what little shape there is. Even the few glassy moments, like Tuesday afternoon the 4th or Wednesday morning the 5th, are paired with a tiny 2 ft, 7-8 second swell – barely a ripple. The surf is consistently described as “poor surf conditions” with a score of 0 out of 10 for every single time slot.
From the 2nd of August right through to the 17th of August, it’s the same sad story. There’s a brief bump in energy on the 7th and 8th with combined energy hitting 115 and 160, and swell height up to 4 ft, but that’s all onshore and messy. Not worth a look.
Honestly, Hangers is a fairly consistent spot, so it tends not to stay this poor for long, but this run is a true blank. If you’re itching for a paddle, you’d be better off finding a lake. This setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing – at least the wind is consistent enough for that.
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.
