The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this outlook for Hangers is a tough one. We’re looking at a long, quiet stretch ahead. The whole 16-day window is a bit of a dud, with nothing that really gets the heart pumping. Every single session in the data comes back as poor surf conditions, so I can’t point you to a standout day. It’s one of those runs where the ocean just isn’t cooperating.
The water temp is sitting at 84°F which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so at least you won't be cold while you're staring at flat water.
We start off on Monday, the 3rd of August, with tiny waves. Morning sees a weak 2 ft ESE swell with a short period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy is a measly 34. The wind is cross-off from the SW, so it’s clean, but there’s just no power. That afternoon goes glassy with a NW breeze at 5 km/h, but the swell drops to 1 ft and energy falls to 23. It’s pretty, but unsurfable.
Tuesday the 4th and Wednesday the 5th are more of the same: tiny 1 ft to 2 ft swells, short periods, and energy levels hanging out in the teens and twenties. A few glassy moments on Wednesday morning, but you’d be hard-pressed to get a ride.
We see a slight bump from Thursday the 6th through to Sunday the 9th, where the swell pushes up to 4 ft from the east. The energy finally climbs into triple digits, hitting 180 on Saturday afternoon. But here’s the kicker – the wind is onshore or cross-onshore the whole time. That 4 ft is getting chopped up, making for messy, poor conditions. It’s not worth paddling out for.
After that, the energy drops off a cliff. From Monday the 10th right through to Tuesday the 18th of August, we’re looking at flat to tiny waves, mostly 0.7 ft to 1 ft, with energy often below 20. There are a few clean moments with offshore or glassy winds, like on the 18th when we get a 15 km/h offshore from the W and a clean 1 ft, but it’s just too small to do anything with.
Honestly, for a spot like Hangers (a beach and reef setup), this is a blank run. When the swell is that weak and the wind is on it, it’s more of a laid-back paddle than a surf session. Best to keep the board in the car and wait for the next system.
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.
