The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ over the next couple weeks.
Honestly, mate, it’s a bit of a flat spell ahead. I’m lookin’ at a solid 16-day window and truth be told, there’s no real call to get wet. Every single one of those forecasts out at Hangers is marked “poor surf conditions,” and that’s the whole story. We’re lookin’ at a run of maybe a week or more where a surfboard’s just gonna gather dust. That said, there are a few flickers of something in the wind, but nothin’ worth paddlin’ out for.
Let’s take it from the top. Thursday morning, September 3rd, there’s a risk of thunderstorms and a light 6 mph easterly wind blowin’ onshore. The swell’s a tiny 2 ft from the east with a period of 9 seconds. Combined energy is only 83 – that’s weak, mate. Not a whisper of quality. That stays poor all day.
Friday the 4th, same story – risk of storms, onshore winds pickin’ up a bit. Swell drops to 3 ft from the ESE, period down to a shaky 6 seconds. Energy at 58. It’s messy, it’s small, it’s not worth a second look.
Saturday and Sunday the 5th and 6th, we get a bit of a clean window Sunday morning with a light westerly offshore wind, but the swell’s dropped to just 1 ft, energy down to a feeble 13. You’d be bouncin’ on the bottom. No go.
From the 7th right through to the 18th, it’s the same song – small swell, mostly onshore or cross-onshore breezes, energy values mostly below 100. A couple of days around the 8th and 9th push into moderate energy – 100 and 159 respectively – but the swell heights are only 2 ft to 3 ft, periods around 8 to 10 seconds. And every single one gets a big fat zero for surf quality. The wind’s onshore or cross-onshore each time.
There is no standout session here. Not one. Nothin’ to get excited about. If you’re a kite surfer, well, a beach-and-reef setup with moderate to fresh onshore winds and small swell might be more your game than paddle surf. But for a surfer? Nothin’.
Honestly, it’s just one of those blank runs. It happens in this area sometimes. Don’t lose hope – forecasts can shift, and it won’t stay this quiet forever. But for now, leave the board in the car.
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.
