The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the Hangers stretch over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, if you’re hanging out for a proper surf, this is a tough stretch. The forecast is looking pretty flat and messy for the majority of the window. We’ve got a long run of poor surf conditions starting right now and lasting all the way through to the 20th of August. That’s a solid two weeks of nothing to write home about. The swell is tiny, mostly sitting around 1 ft to 2 ft, and the wind is almost always onshore or cross-onshore, which will chop it up. The combined wave energy is weak, barely cracking 100 (21-163) for most of that period, so there’s just no push in the water.
The lone bright spot, and I mean the only one, is a glimmer on the morning of Friday, the 21st of August. The swell is still small at 2 ft from the ESE, but the period is a solid 9 seconds, which is about as good as it’s going to get. The real kicker is the wind: glassy conditions from the WNW. That’s a rare treat for this spot, and it’ll make the surface look like a mirror. The energy is still weak (70), so don’t expect barrels, but for a tiny wave, it’ll be clean. The water temp is just about average for the time of year, so nothing to complain about there.
The rest of the weekend and into the following week? Absolutely nothing doing. The swell barely breaks 2 ft, and the wind is rubbish. On the 11th of August morning, we get a glassy window, but the swell is a pathetic 2 ft with a 6-second period—just not enough to bother with.
For a spot that’s fairly consistent like Hangers, this is a real dry spell. It’s a beach and reef setup, so when it’s this small and onshore, it’s not even worth a look. The only day to even consider paddling out is the morning of the 21st. It won’t be big, but it’ll be the cleanest wave you’ll see all fortnight.
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.
