The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Hangers over the next couple of weeks.

Honestly, it’s a pretty flat run for the most part. We’re looking at a long stretch of nothing special, with the first real chance to get wet not showing up until Thursday morning the 3rd of September, and even then it’s barely a dribble. There’s a tiny window around Tuesday the 8th and Wednesday the 9th that might offer a bit of pulse, but nothing that’ll get your heart racing. The best of the bunch looks like Wednesday morning the 9th – that’s the standout.

Wednesday morning, September 2nd kicks things off with a tiny 2ft easterly swell, but it’s cross-onshore and the energy is weak (98). The water temp is about average for this time of year. Not worth paddling out for.

Thursday morning, September 3rd – the first real look. The swell is still only 3ft from the east, period is a short 6 seconds, and the energy is weak (92). But, the wind is glassy, and that’s a major positive. It’s surfable, but very ordinary. The afternoon sees it pick up to 4ft from the ESE, but a 15 mph cross-onshore wind will chop it to pieces.

Friday, September 4th through Monday, September 7th – forget it. Swell drops to 2ft and below, energy is pathetic (between 6 and 33), and the conditions are mostly poor. The wind is clean on some mornings, but there’s just no wave power. A kite surfer might get a laugh out of the afternoon breezes, but for a paddle surfer, it’s a write-off.

Tuesday morning, September 8th – a little pulse of energy. 3ft from the NE with 8-second period, moderate energy (106) and clean cross-offshore wind. The wave comment says “surfable but very ordinary.” It’s the best we’ve seen, but it’s still a tough call.

Wednesday morning, September 9th – this is the one to circle. The swell is 3ft from the ENE, period stretches to 10 seconds, giving it better shape and more energy (174). The wind is glassy. That’s the cleanest, most promising session of the whole forecast. It’s not big, but it’ll be fun and clean. After that, it’s back to the same story: small, weak, and mostly wind-affected through to the 17th.

Thursday morning, September 10th – 2ft from the ENE, 10-second period, moderate energy (101), and clean cross-offshore wind. Surfable, but nothing to write home about.

Friday, September 11th onwards – we’re scraping the bottom of the barrel again. Swell stays below 1ft, energy is in the teens and twenties, and while there are a few glassy mornings (like Sunday the 13th and Monday the 14th), there’s just no swell to work with.

So, the long and short of it: if you’re desperate, aim for Wednesday morning, September 9th at Hangers. It’s the only time the stars align for a clean, glassy session with a bit of middle-period energy. Everything else is a whole lot of waiting.

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.
