The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table. The honest truth is, it's a pretty bleak stretch ahead for Hangers. The whole 16-day window is a flat spell with no real energy to get excited about. The combined swell energy barely ever gets into triple digits (highest is 72), and we're looking at ankle to knee-high slop at best. That 1ft to 2ft range with short periods (mostly 6 to 10 seconds) just isn't going to deliver a proper wave. There's a gap of near-silence right from the start.

For Wednesday the 29th of July, we start off with a tiny 1ft easterly swell, period of 9 seconds. Wind is cross-off from the WSW at 12 mph, so it's clean, but the energy is a measly (16) – it's barely a ripple. The water temp is about average for this time of year, but you wouldn't want to be out there for long.

Thursday the 30th drops even smaller, down to 0.7ft. The afternoon sees the wind swing to the west, going offshore at 12 mph, which cleans things up nicely, but the combined energy is a pitiful (6). Not worth paddling for.

Friday the 31st stays tiny at 0.7ft. The afternoon brings a gentle offshore from the west at 9 mph, and the period stretches slightly to 10 seconds, but the energy (11) says it all. It’s a dribbler.

The first week of August doesn’t offer any relief. Sizes hover around 1ft to 2ft. The best wind we see is on the morning of Tuesday the 4th with a slight cross-off from the SSW at just 3 mph, but the swell is 1ft with an 8-second period and energy of (21). It's clean, but it's flat.

There's a slight bump on Friday the 7th of August with the swell reaching 3ft and a period of 6 seconds from the ESE. Energy climbs to (70), but the wind is cross-onshore at 9 mph, making for a messy, choppy surface. That’s more of a washing machine than a surf.

Saturday the 8th turns nasty. We get a gale-force offshore wind from the WSW at 43 mph. The swell is 2ft with an 8-second period, energy at (62), but the wind comment says it all – "gale force offshore and extremely hard to paddle into." That's a skip.

The final few days, from the 9th to the 13th of August, are more of the same: tiny, weak, and uneventful. The morning of Tuesday the 11th has a rare moment with glassy conditions from a WSW wind at 3 mph, but the swell is a pathetic 0.7ft from the ENE with a 9-second period and energy of (13). It's a millpond.

Honestly, with these conditions – tiny swell, short periods, and on most days moderate winds – this setup is far more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. You'd be fighting for a bump that never comes. The peak recommendation, if you can call it that, is probably the glassy morning of the 11th, but you'd still need a longboard and a lot of patience to get a ride. Keep an eye on the forecasts; it tends not to stay this poor for long.

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.
