The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here with the feet-and-fahrenheit version. Let’s be straight: this 16-day stretch for Hangers is a slow one. Most of the time, the swell is tiny, the period is short, and the wind messes it up. You’re going to have to be patient.
The first real chance comes on Wednesday the 26th of August. Wednesday morning sees a tiny 1ft swell from the east, but with a very long period of 15 seconds. The combined swell energy is 58 (weak), and the wind is glassy, making it clean. It’s surfable but very ordinary. This is the best you’ll get in this whole outlook.
Thursday the 27th morning is next best. The swell bumps to 2ft from the east, with a 12-second period. Combined energy readings are 123 (moderate), and the wind is light and cross-off, keeping it clean. Still small and average, though.
Friday the 28th and Saturday the 29th offer 2ft to 2ft east swell, with periods of 9 to 10 seconds. Combined energy is weak to moderate (75 to 95). Mornings stay clean with cross-off wind, but it’s nothing special.
After Saturday, it fades again. From Sunday the 30th through Tuesday the 1st of September, we’re back to 1ft to 2ft swells, short periods, and messy winds.
If you’re keen, that Wednesday 26th morning with glassy conditions and a long-period east swell is your standout. It’s tiny, but it’s the cleanest you’ll see. Otherwise, I’d wait for better forecasts.
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.
