The Lowdown
Alright, let's look at the 16-day window for Hangers. Honestly, mate, it's a quiet one. We're staring down a run of tiny, weak, and mostly onshore-affected swell that's going to keep things flat and choppy for the vast majority of the period. From Wednesday morning, July 22nd right through until the end of the file, there’s nothing that gets the heart racing. We're looking at swell heights from 0.7ft to a max of 3ft, mostly from the east with a short period of 8 seconds, and combined energy levels that stay well below 100 (e.g. 27 and 74) – proper weak stuff. The water temperature is sitting at 84°, which is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual there.
The wind is the real killer here. Most days are cross-on or straight onshore from the east or southeast. There are a few isolated windows – like Sunday morning July 26th with a light offshore from the west, or early the following week – where it cleans up. But with the swell being so small and weak (1.0ft to 2ft, combined energy only in the 20s), it just isn't surfable. It's a long stretch of flatness. By the time we hit August 3rd through the 6th, we're down to 0.7ft and 1.0ft swell with energy readings around 5 to 13 – that’s barely a ripple. The entire 16-day forecast offers no standout conditions. Unless you're a kite surfer looking for any breeze on a choppy surface, there's no reason to paddle out at Hangers for the foreseeable future.

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.
