The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what we’ve got on the cards.
Honestly, mate, the outlook for the next 16 days is a bit of a bummer for Hangers. There’s a long stretch of poor conditions ahead. We’re looking at over a week of tiny, messy, or onshore wind-affected waves, and that’s before we even get to a little glimmer of hope later on. The water temp is sitting at 87°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least a dip won’t be a shock to the system, but the surf just isn’t cooperating.
Starting from now, Friday the 28th of August through to Monday the 7th of September, it’s flat or close to it, with swell heights mostly 1ft to 3ft and periods under 10 seconds. The wind is onshore or cross-onshore for the vast majority of that time, with very little clean energy. The combined energy barely reaches triple digits – mostly sitting in the weak 30s to 50s (39 to 58 range). On the 2nd of September, there’s a small bump in period to 11 seconds, pushing the energy to 149, but it’s still just poor surf and onshore wind. Not worth paddling out for.
The first real chance of anything worthwhile shows up on Tuesday the 8th of September. Early morning at Hangers, we get a little 1ft pulse from the ENE with a period of 13 seconds, light offshore wind from the W, and clean conditions. The combined energy is still low at 69, and the swell is tiny, but it’s the first sign of life. That’s the standout of the whole run – a clean, glassy window for a micro-longboard or a fun little fish. It won’t be anything epic, but it’s the best on offer.
Wednesday the 9th of September morning is similar: 2ft from the ENE, 11-second period, clean with light offshore wind, and energy at 104. It’s a bit more energy but still small. After that, we fade back into small, wind-affected slop through to the end of the forecast.
Crowds could be a factor at Hangers when there’s a hint of clean swell, so keep that in mind if you’re heading out on those Tuesday or Wednesday mornings.
So, to sum it up: save your energy for the early hours of Tuesday the 8th and Wednesday the 9th of September. That’s where it’s at. Everything else is a write-off.
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.
