The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let's be real – the next 16 days are a snoozer for our break. We're staring down a massive gap of flat, poor conditions before anything even remotely fun shows up.
Starting Saturday, July 25th, it's a ghost town. For a solid ten days or more, the surf is tiny and weak. The energy is pathetic, mostly between 5 and 43 (weak energy), with swell heights barely hitting 2 feet. The wind is all over the place, but the waves are just too small to bother with. You'll be waiting a long time.
But hold up – on Tuesday, August 4th, we finally get a little pulse at Hangers (beach and reef). That Tuesday afternoon, the combined energy hits 60 (still just moderate energy), with a 2ft swell from the ESE. The period is a short 8 seconds, so no real punch, but the wind will swing offshore from the W at 12 mph. That offshore breeze will clean the surface right up, making it a smooth little wave. It's a "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions" call, but for this stretch, it's the only game in town. The water temp is about normal for this time of year.
The swell is tiny, so it's safe for beginners. The break is fairly consistent, and crowds are listed as "sometimes" – so you might have a few mates out. The best swell direction for Hangers is from the NE, and this ESE swell is a bit off, but you take what you can get.
After that one afternoon, it's back to the same old story. The swell fades, and the 7th and 8th of August see a little bump to 3ft, but with a 7-second period and onshore or cross-onshore wind, it's a choppy, messy disappointment. Not worth paddling out.
So, one afternoon on the 4th of August is your window. The rest is a dry spell. It's a quiet run for the area, but things can change, so keep an eye on it.
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.
