The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. We're looking at the next 16 days for Hangers, and honestly, I've got to be straight with you – it's a tough stretch. The forecast is showing a prolonged period of small, weak, and mostly onshore wind-affected surf. There's a big gap of poor conditions right from the start, so don't expect much action for a while.

The first worthwhile session isn't until Sunday, August 3rd, and even then it's only a marginal improvement. The pattern is dominated by a tiny, short-period swell (8 seconds) coming from the east, with wave energy staying very low. The combined energy of all swells directed here barely cracks 100, peaking at a weak 120 on the 3rd, which is just not enough to get excited about for a setup like Hangers.

It's a long wait. From Thursday, July 23rd, right through to Sunday, August 3rd, every single day is rated as "poor surf conditions." That's nearly two weeks of no-go. The swell is tiny, mostly around 1 ft to 3 ft, and the wind is often onshore or cross-onshore, making it choppy and messy. There are a few mornings with offshore winds, like Sunday the 26th and a few days later, but the swell is just too small (1 ft to 2 ft) to do anything with.

The first real chance to get wet comes late on Sunday, August 3rd. The afternoon sees a slight bump in energy to 91, with a 2 ft swell from the east-southeast, and the wind goes light and cross-offshore, cleaning it up. It's described as "surfable waves but very ordinary," and I'd agree. It's small, weak, and the period is still a short 8 seconds, so it won't have much push. The best of the whole outlook is probably Monday morning, August 4th. The swell holds at 2 ft from the east, with a light cross-offshore southwest wind at 6 mph. The energy is still low (69), but it's clean, and makes for a longboard session if you're desperate. The combined energy hits 120 on Monday afternoon, but the wind swings cross-onshore, ruining it.

There's a moment of glassy calm on Saturday, August 2nd, but the swell is a pathetic 1 ft. Not worth paddling out for.

Water temperature is sitting at a warm 85°F, which is about average for this time of year, so at least you won't be cold while you're waiting.

For an advanced break like Hangers, this kind of flat, weak spell is a real letdown. It's a beach and reef setup, and with the wind and small swell, it's more interesting for kite surfing than paddling out. The one highlight is the clean, offshore windows on the 3rd and 4th, but keep your expectations on the floor. It's a dry spell, but forecasts can change, and it won't stay this poor forever.

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.
