The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what we’ve got for Hangers. Straight up, I’m not gonna sugar-coat it: this is a grim 16-day outlook. For almost all of the forecast, we are dealing with tiny, weak swell and onshore or cross-onshore winds that are just wrecking any chance of a decent wave. The water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year at 86°, which is nice for a paddle, but that’s about the only positive.
We start off on Saturday the 12th with a tiny 1ft ESE swell, short 8-second period, and a risk of thunderstorms with an onshore breeze. The combined energy is a weak 21 – just nothing there. The surf is poor. Sunday the 13th morning goes glassy with a 2ft E swell, but the combined energy is still only 42, and it’s barely breaking. By the afternoon, the cross-on wind messes it up again.
The whole first week is a washout. You get a tiny bump in swell on Wednesday the 16th morning, with a 5ft ENE swell, but the period is a poor 7 seconds and the wind is a fresh cross-onshore at 19 mph. The combined energy reaches 215 (moderate), but with that wind and short period, it’s lumpy and junk. This continues through Thursday and Friday with similar onshore conditions.
From Saturday the 19th all the way through to the end of the forecast on the 27th of September, we’re looking at a long, flat, and uninspiring run. Swell heights consistently stay between 0.7ft and 2ft, with periods mostly under 10 seconds and combined energy mostly under 60 (weak). The silver lining in the second week is that we get some lighter offshore or cross-offshore winds on a few mornings (like Sunday the 20th, Monday the 21st, and Tuesday the 22nd) that will make the ocean surface look clean, but with such tiny swell, there’s just no wave to ride.
There is no standout period. There is no good day. The best you can hope for is a super clean, glassy morning on Friday the 25th of September with a 1ft E, 10-second period swell, but even then, the energy is only 29. It’s a lake.
Honestly, this setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer on the days the wind is up, because there’s plenty of wind and no surf. For us, it’s a long period of waiting.
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.
