The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Grab a coffee, because I’ve got to be straight with you – this outlook for Hangers is a tough one.
Look, this is a beach and reef set-up, and over the next two weeks we’re staring down a pretty barren run. The swell window just isn’t getting anything meaningful. We’re looking at tiny waves, mostly around the 0.7ft to 2ft mark, and the short period – mostly 8 seconds or less – means there’s no grunt to them at all. The combined swell energy is weak, barely cracking double digits most days, and when it does nudge up to 87 or so, it’s still weak wave energy (87). The wind is the biggest killer here: almost every afternoon gets a cross-onshore breeze from the SE, chopping things up and making it messy.
Right now, the water temperature is sitting at a warm 86°F, and that’s pretty much spot on for the time of year, so you don’t need a thick suit.
Let’s walk through it. From Wednesday the 15th through to the end of July, every single entry says “poor surf conditions.” There are a few early mornings that look clean with light offshore or cross-off winds, like the morning of Thursday the 16th with a 1ft swell from the ESE, or the morning of Monday the 20th with 2ft from the SSE. The morning of Wednesday the 22nd is actually glassy, with 2ft from the ESE and period 8 seconds, but it’s still just so small. You’d be on a foamie fighting for anything rideable. The swell period only hits 9 seconds on the morning of the 29th, but it’s still only 2ft of weak wave energy (54). Honestly, nothing here gets over a 1 out of 10 in the forecast, and there’s never a standout.
The best you could hope for is a longboard session on a glassy morning, like Wednesday the 22nd. But with the swell direction being ESE and the optimum for Hangers being NE, it’s not right. The wave quality is just going to be poor.
This is a long gap with no real recommendations. It happens here sometimes. The setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer on the afternoons with more wind, but for us, it’s a waiting game.
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.
