Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
G’day, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – this outlook for Hangers is a tough one. We’re looking at a long stretch with barely any surf to get excited about. The whole 16-day window is a write-off for anything decent, which is a real bummer.
We kick off on Thursday, July 2nd, and honestly, it’s a flat start. The swell is tiny at 2 ft from the ENE, with a short period of 8 seconds, and a cross-on wind makes it choppy. The combined wave energy is weak at 110, so it’s not worth paddling out for. This sets the tone for the next week and a half.
Friday morning, July 3rd, brings clean, glassy conditions with offshore wind from the ESE, but the wave height drops to just 2 ft from the NE with a 7-second period. Combined energy is a paltry 46. It’s pretty. It’s flat. That’s all.
From Saturday, July 4th, right through to Tuesday morning, July 14th, the forecast is a soul-crushing run of knee-high to ankle-high waves. The swell hovers between 1.0 ft and 2 ft, with periods mostly around 8-9 seconds from the ESE or E. The combined energy rarely climbs above 60. Even when we get clean, glassy windows like Tuesday afternoon, July 14th, that N wind is dead calm but the waves are still pitiful at 1 ft. This is a proper drought – over a week of nothing to surf.
Things get a little… weird, I guess, from Wednesday afternoon, July 15th. The swell bumps up to 2 ft from the ESE, and for the first time, the combined energy hits 103 – still weak, but not completely dead. But the onshore E wind at 16 mph is going to turn that tiny bump into a mess. Then into Friday, July 17th, we see the biggest swells of the whole period: 3 ft to 3 ft from the E, with a really short period of 5 to 6 seconds. Combined energy is 64 to 71, which is still low. Onshore winds from the E will make it a choppy, junky close-out. This setup is more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
Let’s be clear: there is no standout here. No best day. The water temperature at Hangers is 85°, which is about average for the time of year. But with no decent swell, that’s cold comfort. This is just a blank run for the area. It’s one of those spells where you leave the board in the car and hope the models change.
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.
