The Lowdown
Alright, surfers. Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – the outlook for the next two and a half weeks is a bit of a bummer, I won't lie. We're looking at a long stretch of tiny, weak waves, so you'll need to keep your expectations in check.
Let's start with Hangers. It's a fairly exposed beach and reef setup, so it usually needs a solid push from the NE to get going. The problem is, for the entire 16-day window, we're looking at swell heights barely scraping 3 ft, with most of the time sitting at a pathetic 0.7 ft to 1 ft. The combined energy figures are all in the low double digits (28, 37, 21, etc.), which is what we call "weak energy" – barely enough to get your board wet.
The bright spot, if you can call it that, is that the mornings often see a clean looking ocean with light offshore or cross-offshore winds. On Wednesday the 23rd, we even get a glassy morning with that tiny 1 ft from the ESE, but it's still just poor surf. The afternoons are a write-off, with wind picking up from the SE, making things choppy and cross-onshore.
Water temps are about average for this time of year, so you won't need a full winter suit, but you won't be surfing in boardies either.
Honestly, there's nothing here that qualifies as a standout. There's no real swell to speak of, and the conditions are small and weak. If you're desperate for a paddle, the cleanest windows will be the mornings from Wednesday the 22nd onward, with that light SSW wind. But don't expect a wave with any push. The afternoons are blown out and not worth your time. This is a period where checking the forecast daily might be more exciting than actually paddling out.
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.
