The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: this outlook is a tough one. The swell is tiny, the period is short, and there’s just not much to get excited about. We’ve got a long stretch of minimal surf ahead, so patience is the name of the game.
The water temp at Hangers is sitting at 84°, which is just about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
Looking at the whole 16-day window, the first real chance of anything surfable doesn’t show up until the morning of Friday, August 7th. That’s a gap of over a week with nothing worth paddling out for. On that Friday morning, we finally see a slight bump: 3 ft of swell from the ESE, with a short period of 5 seconds. The combined energy is weak at 56. The wind is glassy, which is a rare positive, but the waves are just ordinary – small, weak, and lacking any punch.
The next morning, Saturday, August 8th, is similar. Again, 3 ft of swell, this time from the E with a 7-second period. The combined energy picks up a bit to 88, still weak. Glassy conditions again in the morning, so it’ll look clean, but don’t expect much power. These are the only two sessions that even register a score, and it’s marginal at best.
The swell direction is E to ESE, which is not the optimum NE that Hangers really wants. The short period (under 8 seconds) means the waves will be soft and crumbly, not steep or punchy. For a beach-and-reef setup, this is going to be a frustrating week.
If you’re a beginner, the tiny size (3 ft) is safe, but the lack of shape and energy means it’s not great for learning either. For everyone else, it’s a slide-and-slog. Honestly, with the small swell, poor quality, and the wind often turning onshore or cross in the afternoons, this setup is more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer through most of the period.
There’s no standout here. The best on offer is the glassy Friday morning, August 7th, but it’s a 1-out-of-10 day. The following Saturday morning, August 8th, is a similar story. Both are just a chance to get wet, not to get a proper wave.
Keep an eye on the forecasts, but for now, it’s a long wait.
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.
