The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with ya – it’s a tough watch for the next 16 days. We’re looking at a real flat spell, nothing but tiny, weak windswell and not a single standout session in the lot. The first bit of anything that could even be called surfable doesn't show up until Friday, August 7th, so we're talking about a solid two-week stretch of nothing.
Let's run through what little we have. The only spot with any info is Hangers, a beach and reef setup. It’s fairly consistent, but the swell just isn't there. The water temp is sitting at a very normal 84°F for the time of year, so at least a dip won't be a shock.
For Saturday, July 25th, it's a write-off. We’ve got a tiny 2ft swell from the east with a weak period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is a measly (43). Morning has glassy conditions, but the call is still "poor surf conditions." The afternoon brings a risk of thunderstorms and a cross-on breeze that’ll chop it right up. No dice.
Sunday, July 26th, the swell drops to 2ft. The combined energy is even weaker at (30). The morning is clean with a light cross-offshore breeze from the WNW, but there’s just no power in the water. The afternoon gets messy with a 12 mph cross-onshore.
Monday, July 27th, the swell is down to 1ft. The morning has a clean, gentle offshore wind from the west, and combined energy is a pathetic (20). It's clean, but you’d be floating. The afternoon gets a fresh cross-shore wind making it lumpy.
From Tuesday, July 28th, right through to Thursday, August 6th, it’s a dead zone. The swell sits between 0.7ft and 2ft, with the combined energy barely cracking double digits. Some mornings have clean conditions, but it’s just not enough to push a wave. The highlight of this period is a glassy morning on Wednesday, August 5th, with zero wind, but the swell is a pathetic 1ft. It’s a lake, not a surf break.
Finally, on Friday, August 7th, we get a pulse. The morning shows a 3ft swell from the east with a period of 7 seconds, lifting the combined energy to (66). The wind is light and cross-off from the SW, keeping it clean. The call actually upgrades to "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions." This is the best we’ve got, but it’s tiny and weak.
The rest of that day and into the weekend, Saturday, August 8th, and Sunday, August 9th, we drop back down to 1ft to 2ft with onshore winds and choppy conditions.
Honestly, for the whole 16 days, there’s nothing to get excited about. If you’re desperate for a paddle on the morning of August 7th, you might get a few small, clean ones, but it’s not a session to write home about. For a place that’s fairly consistent, it’s a real bummer of a run. Keep an eye on the charts, though – it tends not to stay this flat forever.
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.
