The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for our little patch. I gotta be straight with you – this is a quiet one. There’s a run of tiny surf that just won’t let up for a good while. The first week and a half looks like a write-off, so don’t be in a rush to wax up.
The only break on the radar is Hangers – a beach and reef setup that’s fairly exposed to the east. Right now, the water is bang on average for this time of year at 84°F.
We’re looking at a long, flat spell. From Sunday the 26th of July all the way through to about the 5th of August, the surf is tiny or non-existent. Swell heights are just a pathetic 0.7ft to 2ft. The energy is weak, barely registering (combined energy values from 5 to 41). The period is short, mostly 7 to 8 seconds. There’s just no push behind it. The wind is sometimes clean, but when the swell is that small, it’s a total non-event. The forecast calls it “poor surf conditions” for every single day in that stretch.
The only faint glimmer of hope creeps in around Tuesday the 5th of August. The morning starts glassy and clean, with a tiny 2ft swell from the east. The energy is still weak (41), but it’s the best of a bad lot. The period is still short at 7 seconds, so it’s not going to be anything special, but if you’re desperate for a splash, that Tuesday morning is your best shot. After that, it stays ankle-to-knee high right through the 10th of August.
Honestly, this is a solid 16-day stretch of nothing doing. No standout swells, no epic conditions, just a whole lot of stillness. Don’t hold your breath. The forecasts can change, but right now, I’d say find another hobby for a bit.
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.
