The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, this is a tough one to call. We're looking at a real flat spell ahead. The forecast shows a lot of small, weak waves with poor quality, and the scores are consistently low across the board. The first real surf that's worth even considering won't show up until early August, but even then it's pretty marginal. Right now, from the 23rd of July all the way through to the 6th of August, it's a long stretch of tiny, messy, or unrideable conditions. The swell is tiny, mostly 1 foot to 2 feet, with short periods of 7 to 8 seconds, and the wind is often onshore or cross-onshore, chopping it up. The combined wave energy is weak, often in the low teens to 60s, nothing with any punch.
The only break we've got to look at is Hangers, a beach and reef setup. It's on the small side most of the time, and the swell direction is from the east, which is not the optimum northeast direction it really wants to light up. The water temperature is a warm 85°F for the first part of the forecast, which is pretty much what you'd expect for this time of year.
There is one session that stands out, but it's a long way off. On Friday, August 7th, the morning shows a bump in energy. The swell picks up to 3 feet from the east, with a period of 6 seconds and the combined energy jumps to 121 (moderate). It's still showing as "poor surf conditions" and the wind is onshore, so it's not going to be clean. The swell is very short period, so it won't be powerful. This is the only time the combined energy gets into three digits, but it's still not a good bet.
For a beginner, you'd want to stay away. The best swell we see is only 3 feet, which is manageable, but the short period and onshore winds will make it bumpy and hard to catch. For experts, there's simply nothing on offer that's worth getting excited about.
The lack of any consistent, quality swell is a real bummer, but it's a blank run that's pretty normal for the area when the trade winds are blowing. Forecasts can change, but right now, you're better off finding another hobby for a couple of weeks.
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.
