The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let me break down this 16-day stretch for Hangers.
Look, the first week and a half is a real bummer. From Monday the 14th on, it’s flat, sloppy, and the wind is either blowing onshore or just messy. Every morning and afternoon is "poor surf conditions" and the swell is only a few inches high. That’s a long, quiet run of nothing for over a week. But don't lose all hope – these things can change.
The real gem, the one you’ve been waiting for, lands on Saturday the 26th. That morning Hangers gets a 5ft NE swell with a nice long 10-second period from the right direction. The wind lays right down – light and from the SW in the morning, making it glassy clean, and by the afternoon it flips to a proper offshore from the W. There’s plenty of energy in the water (380 morning, 358 afternoon), and it’s flagged as "good surf conditions." This is the winner, plain and simple.
Saturday morning: shoulder-high sets, clean and peeling on the reef. The water is a bit warmer than normal for this time of year at 86°, so it’s comfortable all day.
Now, the day before, Friday the 25th, could give you a little something in the afternoon. There’s a 3ft NE swell with a clean offshore wind from the WSW. It’s surfable, but not great – you might snag a few. Saturday is where you want to be.
After Saturday, Sunday the 27th still has some leftover waist-high energy and clean morning winds, but it fades quick and the onshore junk comes back. After that, it’s back to tiny, choppy surf into the next week. So unless you’re free that Saturday, this stretch is a wash.
This spot is usually fairly consistent, so this long quiet spell is a bit unusual. But trust the forecast – that Saturday the 26th is worth waking up early for.
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.
