The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up at Hangers.
To be straight with you, the next 16 days are looking pretty grim. We’re staring down a long flat spell with very little to get excited about. The first real pulse of energy doesn’t show up until Saturday the 8th of August, and even then, it’s messy. That’s a solid week of waiting for anything rideable.
For the first few days, from Sunday the 2nd through Friday the 7th, we’ve got tiny, weak swell – mostly around 1 ft to 2 ft – with junk wind directions. The combined energy is low, sitting between 21 and 100 (weak). It’s just not worth paddling out.
The one blip on the radar comes on Saturday the 8th. The morning sees a bump in swell to 5 ft from the east, with combined energy jumping to 500 (moderate). That’s the biggest pulse of the whole outlook. However, wind is cross-onshore from the NE at 9 mph, making it pretty choppy. This is a beach and reef setup, so with that size and wind, it might be more interesting for the kite crowd than for paddle surfing. The water is warm, sitting at 84° F, which is bang on average for the time of year.
After that, Sunday the 9th morning offers a tiny window of clean, glassy conditions with 3 ft east swell (combined energy 87), but it’s surfable but very ordinary. The rest of the week drops back into the doldrums with tiny, weak swell and poor wind.
Honestly, there’s no standout session here. The 8th is the only one with any size, but the quality is poor. We’ve got a long, dry run ahead of us. Forecasts can change, so keep an eye on the charts, but for now, leave the board in the shed.
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.
