Table - best surf conditions forecast for Hangers over the next 16 days.


Alright, I’m gonna be straight with you – this is a tough one to call. The forecast for Hangers over the next 16 days just doesn’t have any real juice. We’re looking at a long stretch of small, weak swell with next to no energy behind it, and most of the time the wind is working against us. It’s one of those rare flat spells that can happen here, and it’s a persistent one.

Sunday the 12th kicks off with tiny 1ft swell from the ESE, period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy is a measly 16 – that’s weak. The morning is glassy, but there’s just nothing to ride. The whole first week is more of the same: tiny waves, mostly under 2ft, and the wind is all over the place – cross, cross-on, onshore. The water temp is sitting at 86°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, but that’s not gonna help the surf.

Monday the 13th afternoon has a strong offshore wind from the WNW at 35 km/h, keeping things clean, but the swell is only 1ft. It’s technically clean, but you’d be struggling to find a rideable wave. Tuesday the 14th morning is glassy again, but same story – 1ft.

There’s a little blip on Saturday the 18th afternoon with 2ft from the ESE, but the period drops to a pathetic 3 seconds and the wind is cross-onshore, so it’s choppy and weak. Not worth getting excited about.

The second week doesn’t offer any hope either. We see a few more 2ft days around the 25th and 26th of July, but the wind is onshore from the east, and the energy readings are still in the weak range – 53 and 42. The swell direction is from the east, which is not the optimum NE direction for Hangers, so the waves won’t wrap in well.

Look, the setup here is a beach and reef, and with this kind of weak, short-period swell and onshore winds, it’s honestly more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer. There’s just no standout window in this 16-day run. Keep your board in the car, but don’t be surprised if you end up just watching the horizon.

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.
