The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let's break down the same outlook but in feet and miles per hour.
So, the next few days at Hangers are mostly a write-off. From Tuesday the 28th of July through Saturday the 1st of August, the swell is tiny, barely a foot high. The combined energy is low, around 13. The wind sometimes blows offshore, but there’s just no water moving to make it worth your while. Leave the board in the car.
The first real chance to get wet comes on Sunday the 2nd of August, in the afternoon. Swell bumps up to about 2ft from the ESE, with the combined energy hitting 56. The wind is a light cross-offshore from the SSW, which will keep the surface clean. It’s surfable, but it’s still very ordinary – not a standout, but you could get a few small ones.
Things look a little more interesting around Tuesday the 4th of August. The morning is glassy, with no wind at all. The swell is still small, about 2ft from the E, with a period of just 5 seconds. That short period means it’s weak and won't have much shape, but the glassy surface is a rare treat. The combined energy is only 24, so don’t expect much power.
The best of the whole 16 days is probably Thursday the 6th of August. The morning is glassy again, with a little more size – around 2ft from the ESE. The swell period is 7 seconds, still a bit short, but the combined energy is 47. It’s a clean, calm morning for small waves. If you’re on a longboard or a foil, that’s the time to go. The water temperature is 30°, which is normal for this time of year, so you’ll be fine in just a pair of boardshorts.
After that, the second week stays weak. The mornings of Friday the 7th and Saturday the 8th of August look glassy but the swell is tiny. The combined energy stays in the 20s and 30s, so nothing with any grunt.
Bottom line: no big swell to get excited about. The only real highlight is that glassy morning on the 6th of August. It’s not a day for charging, but for a clean, small-wave session, it’s the pick of the lot.
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.
