The Lowdown

Alright, let's get into it. The next couple of weeks are looking pretty bleak for any real surf, so don't get your hopes up just yet. We've got a long stretch of nothing, but there might be a glimmer of something on the horizon.

Right now and through the next week and a half, Hangers is looking pretty sad. We've got small, weak surf with most of the energy in the 20 to 40 range. There's a bit of a pulse mid-period, but the wind is mostly cross-onshore or onshore, chopping it all up. A lot of this is short-period windswell, so it's not going to have any power. The water temp is sitting at 30°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, but with surf this bad, you won't notice.

We've got a long gap with nothing worth paddling out for. There is a brief moment on the 21st and 22nd where the wind goes light offshore and it's clean, but the swell is tiny and all over the place. It's not worth the effort.

Then things start to look a little more interesting around the 29th and 30th. On Tuesday the 29th, the morning actually turns glassy with a little pulse of 1.5m swell from the ENE. The energy is still weak at 116, but it's clean, and that's something. But it gets blown out by the afternoon.

The real standout, if you can call it that, is the 30th. We see a significant jump in the swell, pushing up to 2.1m in the morning and 2.5m in the afternoon, with energy jumping way up to 789 and then to 1079. This is the strongest swell of the whole period. It's from the NE, which is the ideal direction for this spot. The period is around 9-10 seconds, so it's a clean groundswell. The wind is light, but cross-onshore in the morning, creating some chop, but it might be manageable.

This is the one to watch, but it's over a week out, so treat it as promising, not a sure thing. The swell size is getting up there, too big for beginners, but for the advanced crew, this could be the best we see. We'll have to see how the winds play out closer to the day.

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.
