The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at the outlook for Hangers.

Honestly, mate, it’s a tough run ahead. Over the next 16 days, there’s not a single session that I’d get excited about. We’re looking at a long stretch of really small, weak surf with average to poor conditions. The whole period is essentially a write-off for decent paddle surfing.

From Thursday the 27th of August right through to Friday the 11th of September, the swell barely gets a pulse. The combined energy figures are all weak, sitting below 100, often in the low teens or single digits. The biggest combined energy we see hits 151 on the afternoon of Wednesday the 9th of September, but even that’s paired with a tiny 1ft swell from the ENE at a 12-second period. While that long period groundswell is decent for shape, the size is just too small to do much with, and the onshore wind will mess up what little there is.

Water temp at Hangers is sitting at a touch warmer than normal, about 86°F, which is 2°F above the average for the time of year.

The winds are mostly onshore or cross-onshore, which will keep the surface choppy. There are a couple of clean mornings on Saturday the 5th and Monday the 7th of September with light cross-offshore winds, but the swell is absolutely tiny at just 0.7ft to 1.0ft. You’d be floating around on a lake.

Most of the time it’s a beach and reef setup here, but with these tiny waves and messy wind, it’s honestly more appealing for a kite session than a surf one. There are no standouts in this window. The break is fairly consistent, so a bad run like this can turn around quickly, but the forecasts for now are dead flat.

If you’re gagging to get wet, the best of a bad lot would be the Saturday morning and Monday morning of the 5th and 7th of September when it’s clean, but you’re looking at knee-high slop at best. Not worth the paddle.

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.
