The Lowdown
### Second Text (Imperial)
Alright, Rusty here, giving you the straight talk on Hangers.
To be honest, the surf scene looks pretty grim for a long stretch. From now until about mid-August, it’s a bust. The swell is weak and small, and the wind is from a bad angle—mostly cross or cross-onshore—so you can forget about clean faces. We’re looking at a solid gap with no real reason to wet a line until Monday, August 17th.
The only day that has a pulse is Monday the 17th. We finally see some moderate wave energy, coming in at 152. The swell is from the ENE at about 3ft with a period of 7 seconds. The wind will be a light cross-onshore, so it won’t be glassy, but it’s the biggest we’ve seen. The water temp is roughly 85°, which is normal for the season.
After that one day, it’s back to small, weak waves and mostly messy wind through the rest of the second week. A few mornings on the 18th, 19th, and 20th are clean and “surfable” with light cross-offshore winds, but the swell is tiny at around 1ft to 2ft. Only worth it if you’ve got a log and zero expectations.
Honestly, there’s no standout session here. It’s a typical quiet spell for the area. Fingers crossed things turn around down the line.
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.
