The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards.
Honestly, I’m lookin’ at the whole 16-day window and it’s a tough one for the swell. The surf is just never getting up enough to really get me excited. For the first week into the second, we’re only seeing tiny waves, mostly under 3 ft, and the wind is often messy. The only real potential is a small window on Wednesday afternoon, September 2nd, at Hangers.
Hangers is a beach and reef setup, fairly exposed but it needs a northeast swell to really work. This time around, the swell is coming from the east, so the direction is a bit off. On Wednesday afternoon, September 2nd, we’ve got a 2 ft swell from the east with a 10-second period, which is a middling period. The combined energy is weak (99). The water temp is a warm 85°, which is about normal for this time of year. The wind is onshore from the ENE at 9 mph, so it’s not clean. It’s just not the day to get your hopes up.
The rest of the period is a real drag. Thursday the 3rd through to Sunday the 13th? We’re talking mostly 1 ft to 2 ft surf, with short periods and a lot of onshore or cross-onshore wind. It’s gonna be choppy and poor. There’s a few moments of glassy or light wind on Sunday morning the 6th and Monday morning the 7th, but the swell is barely a ripple. The combined energy is often in the teens or low 20s, which is just flat.
From the 14th into the 17th, it’s the same story. Small, weak, and messy. The swell never gets above 2 ft. Hangers is a fairly consistent spot, but this run of tiny surf is a real test. It’s more of a kite surfer’s setup with the onshore winds and small, choppy conditions than a paddle surfer’s dream.
There’s no standout. No real best day. It’s just a long stretch of poor surf. The forecasts can change, but for now, I’d leave the boards in the car and go for a swim.
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.
