The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break it down.
Honestly, the next 16 days are a bit of a desert for surf around Hangers (beach and reef). The swell is tiny, the energy is low, and we’ve got a lot of funky, onshore wind to fight. The first week is a total bust – nothing but poor surf conditions day in and day out. It’s a long, flat spell.
The first real chance to get out doesn’t come until the morning of Saturday, August 8th. That morning, we get a moment of glassy, calm wind and a small 2ft swell from the east with a combined energy of just 63 – that’s weak. The conditions will be clean, but the waves are going to be very ordinary. It’s something to get wet on, but don’t expect any gems.
After that, it’s back to tiny, choppy, and poor conditions for the rest of the second week. The swell never gets above 2ft, and the wind is mostly cross-onshore or onshore. There’s a brief moment on the morning of Monday, August 10th, with a light offshore wind and a tiny 1ft east-southeast swell, but the energy is a lousy 25. It’s barely a ripple.
So, if you’re itching for a paddle, the glassy morning on Saturday the 8th is your only window, and it won’t be anything to write home about. For the rest of the time, the Hangers setup is so small and messy that it honestly looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer on those afternoons with a solid cross-breeze.
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.
