The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's have a look at the local outlook.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – the next 16 days are a tough watch for anyone looking for a decent wave. The swell is tiny, barely a ripple, and the forecast is a long, flat stretch with no real energy coming in. The water is a warm 84° right now, which is bang on average for this time of year. But that’s where the good news ends.
We’re looking at a solid gap here. From Monday, the 27th of July, right through to the end of the first week of August, the swell at Hangers is just pathetic. We’re talking 0.7ft to 1ft of weak, short-period windswell from the east, with the combined energy sitting in the low double digits (20 to 27). The wind is mostly cross-off or offshore, which would normally be a dream, but with waves this small, there's just nothing to ride. The surf is consistently rated as "poor". It’s a heartbreaking stretch for a spot that can handle a bit more.
There is a slight glimmer of something on the 6th of August, Thursday morning. The swell bumps up to 2ft from the east-southeast, with a period of 7 seconds. The energy reading jumps to 61, which is still weak, but it’s something. The wind is a light cross-onshore, so it’s not going to be clean. Still, if you’re desperate, you might find a little knee-high bump.
The 8th of August, a Saturday, shows a similar pulse. Again, 2ft to 2ft from the east, with energy hitting 47. The wind is more cross-onshore here, making it a bit bumpy. These are the most notable events in the whole window, but calling them standouts is a stretch. They are the best on offer, but it's a very low bar.
Towards the very end of the run, on the 11th of August, we see a shift. The wind turns light offshore from the west-northwest on Tuesday afternoon, which is clean. The swell is still small, 2ft from the east-southeast, but the period drops to a very short 5 seconds. The energy is a weak 22. It’s clean, but the waves will be crumbly, weak, and gutless. Not a day to get excited about.
Honestly, for a beach and reef setup like Hangers, with this kind of tiny, weak swell and less-than-ideal wind directions, it's looking more like a day for the kite surfers if they can get a puff, rather than a paddle surfer. The consistency is "fairly consistent" here, but that consistency is for tiny, low-energy surf. It's a tough run.
Stay patient, lads. The forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a waiting game.
Rusty.

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.
