The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Lookin' at the charts for the next couple of weeks and honestly, it's a bit of a tough one. We've got a long stretch of flatness ahead.
The whole 16-day window is a write-off for anything decent. From now, right through till August 8th, the surf is just too small and weak to bother with. The swell heights are tiny, barely a ripple, and the energy is pathetic – readings like 7, 10, 14, never even cracking 100. The only highlight is that we'll see some clean, offshore winds on a few mornings, like Sunday the 26th of July with a light W breeze, and Monday the 27th of July with glassy conditions. But with waves only 1.3ft on offer, it's a lake, not a surf break. The water temp is sitting at around 84°F without any major anomaly, so it's what you'd expect for this time of year.
Honestly, the only spot we have to look at is Hangers, and it's just not doing anything. The swell is coming from the E or ESE, which is okay for the break, but it's all short-period, 8-second windswell. The combined energy never gets above 61 (61) in the first week, and that's just weak. For a beach and reef setup, you need a bit more oomph. This whole period looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer, to be honest.
There's a ton of blank days here. The first few days are a total washout, and it doesn't get any better. The pattern is set for a long, quiet spell. Forecasts can change, but for now, park the board and go do something else.

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.
