The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's on the table for the next 16 days at Hangers.
The honest truth is, we're looking at a pretty bleak stretch. There's nothing on the immediate horizon that gets me fired up. The first hopeful sign of any surf doesn't even appear until the morning of Monday, August 3rd, and even then it's a tough sell. So we've got a solid gap of nearly two weeks from the start of the forecast with nothing worthwhile to report.
The sea is going to be a temperamental beast for most of this period. The swell direction is all over the place, but mostly from the East and Southeast, which is okay for Hangers, but the size is just tiny. We're talking about small, weak waves. The combined energy of all swells directed here is generally in the low two-digit range, like 21 or 37 (weak energy), which just doesn't carry any punch. The period is short, hanging around 8 seconds, meaning these are just wind slop, not groundswell. There's nothing to grab onto.
The water temperature is a warm 84°F, which is about average for this time of year, so it's not a factor.
The best chance of a clean wave comes mid-week, on the morning of Monday, August 3rd. The wind forecast is cleaning up from the WSW, with a light breeze at 6 mph and offshore conditions. The swell is a tiny 2 ft from the SE, with a very short period of 4 seconds. This is really just a ripple. It's a beach and reef setup, but with that kind of period, it's going to be mushy and weak. Honestly, it's more of a "get wet and sit on the board" day than a proper surf session. The combined energy is 38 (weak energy). It's not a standout, but it's the only window where the wind is clean.
For the rest of the run, the wind is either cross-on, onshore, or just too strong to make the small swell worthwhile. You'll see some glassy mornings, like on Saturday, August 1st, with a 1 ft swell and glassy conditions, but the energy is a paltry 20 (weak energy). It's clean, but there's just nothing to ride.
Look, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but this is a period where the forecast shows no good surf options. The consistency is listed as "fairly consistent," which suggests the area can get waves, but this stretch is a dud. A blank run like this is more normal for the area when the conditions don't align. I'd suggest dusting off the longboard, calling a buddy, and just having a paddle if you have to get in the water. Given the small, weak, short-period swell and the strong cross-onshore winds that pop up, the setup at this beach and reef looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing on most days.
Keep your hopes up, things can change.
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.
Hangers is 15 km (9 miles) from Melbourne. If you plan a vacation in North Florida, look for hotels and other accommodation in Melbourne. Melbourne has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
