The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break it down.

To be blunt, Hangers is looking like a total dud for the next sixteen days. Every single session is tagged as poor surf conditions, so there’s nothing I can honestly recommend. The swell is puny, the wind is generally onshore or cross-onshore, and the energy is barely there. This is a long, flat spell.

Starting on Wednesday the 5th, it’s some clouds with a light ENE breeze at 6 mph and a tiny 0.4 ft swell from the ESE, period a weak 7 seconds. Combined energy is only 18, so it’s basically flat. It stays poor.

Thursday the 6th brings 0.6 ft from the E, period dropping to 5 seconds, with a risk of thunderstorms. Onshore wind. Still junk. Friday the 7th shows a little bump to 1.0 ft in the morning and 1 ft in the afternoon, both from the E, period 7-8 seconds, but the wind is onshore and energy hits 100 to 324. Still poor, with storm risk.

Saturday the 8th and Sunday the 9th offer 0.8 ft to 1.0 ft from the E, but the wind goes cross-onshore in the mornings, making it choppy. Energy sits between 84 and 139. No improvement.

From Monday the 10th all the way to the 20th of August, the swell never peaks above 0.6 ft. Most days it’s 0.3 ft to 0.5 ft. The period is short, usually 6 to 9 seconds, and energy is weak, all under 100. There are a few glassy or clean windows on the 12th, 13th, 17th, and 19th, but with that tiny swell it won’t break. On the 13th, a glassy morning with 0.3 ft swell, period 8 seconds, energy 14 – looks pretty, but you’d be sitting on a lake.

Water temp is 84°F on the 5th, which is about 0.5°F below normal, so it’s average for the area.

So plain and simple: no surf worth chasing. This is a dead run for Hangers. If you absolutely have to get wet, the cleanest flat days are around the 13th and 17th, but don’t expect a wave. Forecasts can change, but right now, I’m calling it a wash.

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.
