The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, but this time in feet and inches. Let’s break down what’s happening at Hangers.
It’s a rough one, folks. The first decent surf recommendation doesn’t pop up until September 9th, and even then, it’s not good. We’re looking at a major gap with almost two weeks of tiny, weak swell and poor wind. The water temp is about 85°F, a bit warmer than the average for this time of year, but that doesn’t help the waves.
From the 9th to the 22nd of September, it’s all zeros. The swell barely reaches 2 ft, and when it does, the wind is either cross or onshore, chewing up whatever little energy there is. The best window is on the 19th and 20th when the wind goes glassy from the SW, but the swell is only about 1 ft from the east with a period of 7 seconds. That’s barely a ripple.
The only spike in energy comes on September 22nd. The combined energy hits 107 (moderate), with a swell of about 3 ft from the ENE, but the period is short at 7 seconds, and the wind is a fresh cross-onshore from the SE at 30 km/h. That’s going to be choppy and messy. The swell direction isn’t matching the optimum NE direction for this spot, so it’s not going to hold shape. With that wind and short period, it’s looking more like a kite-surfing day than a paddle-surfing one.
There’s no standout session in this whole 16-day window. The end of the forecast, around the 24th, is still weak and onshore. Sometimes a break like this just goes quiet for a stretch. Forecasts can shift, but right now, there’s nothing to get excited about.
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.
