Hey, Rusty here again. Let’s talk Hangers in feet and Fahrenheit.
Honestly, it’s a flat spell for the most part. The first week and a half is a grind – tiny waves, barely a foot to two feet, and the wind is mostly cross or cross-onshore, making it choppy and ugly. The combined swell energy is weak, mostly in the teens to low 70s, so there’s no grunt. That poor stretch runs from Monday the 6th of July all the way to Sunday the 19th of July. That’s a long wait.
Finally, on Monday the 20th of July morning, we get a pulse – about 4 feet from the ESE, with the combined energy jumping to 208. That’s moderate energy, the best we’ve seen. The wind is cross-offshore from the SW at 12 mph, so it’ll clean up the surface. But the swell period is a short 7 seconds, so it won’t have that long, lined-up feel. By the afternoon it drops back to around 3 feet and the energy fades. Tuesday the 21st stays around that 3-foot range with clean conditions, but still a short period.
Your only real shot this whole stretch is that Monday morning of the 20th of July. The water temp is around 86°, which is a touch warmer than usual for the time of year. For a break that’s usually fairly consistent, this is a quiet run, but forecasts can always change.
Rusty out.

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.
