The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty again. Let’s run through it in feet and knots.
We’ve got a long dry spell here at Hangers. The first ten days, from Wednesday, July 29th through the first week of August, are a total bust. Tiny, weak surf and ugly wind.
The combined swell energy numbers are in the teens and single digits – that tells you everything. It’s basically flat. A few mornings have a bit of a light breeze, but with swell under 1 foot, it’s not worth looking at. There’s a solid week-plus of nothing.
The one real bright spot is Saturday, August 8th. On the morning of the 8th, a 4-foot east swell rolls in with a 10-second period, and the combined energy hits 313, which is a solid moderate push. The wind is blowing offshore from the SSW, keeping the surface clean. That’s your session. The swell direction is close to the optimal northeast for this break, so it should line up well. This is a spot for advanced surfers, and at 4 feet, beginners will be in over their heads. Crowds pop up “sometimes” here, so you might see a few others, but it won’t be a circus.
After that, the surf backs off quick. Sunday, August 9th drops to 2 feet and weak as. Monday, August 10th has a glassy morning with knee-to-waist high swell from the east-northeast, a longer 11-second period, and a reading of 138, but the afternoon gets messy. The rest of the second week is just small, ordinary surf with clean mornings but nothing with that one punch of size.
So here’s the deal: don’t paddle out until the morning of Saturday, August 8th. That’s the clear winner. Everything before is a dead zone, and everything after is small and average. Save your energy for that Saturday dawn patrol.
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.
