The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s cooking for our local zone.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – the next 16 days are looking pretty grim for a proper paddle. We're staring down a long, dry stretch with barely any swell to speak of. From now until at least the 5th of August, the numbers are just not there. The wave energy is weak, sitting in the low double digits (33) at best, and mostly just a dribble of short-period, wind-affected slop. There’s a lot of days with scores of zero, so don't expect any standouts.
Water temp at Hangers is sitting right on the money at 85°, which is about average for this time of year. Nothing unusual there.
The first real glimmer, and I mean a tiny glimmer, comes on the morning of Sunday the 26th of July. We get a touch of offshore wind from the west at 6 mph, cleaning up those tiny 2 ft waves from the east. The energy is still weak (29) and the period is short (8 seconds), so it’s not going to be epic, but it’ll be the cleanest thing we’ve seen. That same setup repeats on the morning of Monday the 27th of July with even smaller 1 ft waves. If you’re desperate for a log, that’s your window.
Looking further out, the morning of Saturday the 1st of August shows some promise with glassy conditions and a tiny 1 ft easterly swell. The period creeps up to 9 seconds, which is a little better. Still, the energy is only 25, so it’s a long-shot for a few ankle-biters.
Honestly, the whole 16-day window is a bust for any decent surf. The breaks are small, the winds are mostly cross or onshore, and the energy is just pitiful. This is one of those stretches where you might be better off checking the forecast for a change, or just enjoying the beach. For a beach-and-reef setup like Hangers, with this kind of weak, messy wind, it’s more interesting for kite surfing than a proper paddle session.
Stay tuned, things can change, but for now, it’s a washout.
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.
