The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, taking a look at Hangers. The water temp is about 85°, which is bang average for this time of year – no surprises there.
To be straight with you, it’s a tough run. From the start – Thursday, July 30th – all the way through to Friday, August 14th, we’ve got nothing but flat, poor surf. Every single session is rated as poor. The combined swell energy barely gets going, with the biggest reading being a measly 68 on Monday the 3rd afternoon, but that’s paired with a messy cross-onshore chop. For a spot that’s fairly exposed and needs a northeast swell, we’re getting tiny east and southeast pulses with a short, weak period – mostly 7 to 9 seconds. That’s not enough to get anything rideable.
There are some clean mornings, like Sunday the 9th morning with flat calm winds, but with only about 1ft of 8-second swell, you’d be scraping the bottom. The offshore wind on Friday the 31st morning can’t do a thing with 0.7ft of 8-second energy either.
Given it’s a beach and reef setup with that tiny, weak swell, this is a 16-day blank run. Forecasts can change, but right now there’s no standout here. If the wind picks up with that little chop, it’s more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. Hang tight.

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.
