The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin' for Hangers.
Look, I'm gonna level with you. The next couple of weeks at Hangers are a tough watch. We've got a long stretch of flat, messy, and generally disappointing conditions. The first week is a write-off, with nothing but poor surf and cross-onshore winds. We're talking about a solid 10-day gap of barely a ripple. The water is a warm 84° on Friday, which is about normal for this time of year, but there's no swell to enjoy it with.
Things only start to show a glimmer of life on Monday the 17th of August. We get a small pulse of easterly swell, about 2ft, but it's coming with a period of 10 seconds, so there's a bit of groundswell energy building. The wind swings to the west, going offshore, and the conditions turn clean. That's the first real chance to get wet, but you're not going to write home about it. The combined energy is still weak (63).
The next standout is a bit of a long shot, but worth keeping an eye on. On Thursday the 20th of August, the swell bumps up slightly to 2ft from the east, with a period of 10 seconds. The combined energy ticks over into the moderate range (102), which is a sign that the ocean is waking up. The morning is looking clean with a light offshore from the south-southwest, making it the best session on offer in the whole run. This is still small stuff, though.
After that, the swell holds around 2ft but the winds get messy again. Honestly, for the entire 16-day window, the best bet is that Thursday morning on the 20th. It's not a classic, but it's the only time the stars align for a clean, small wave. The rest of the time, you're better off finding something else to do.
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.
