Alright crew, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – the outlook for Hangers is a long, flat spell. We’re looking at a dry 16-day window with nothing that’d get a surfer out of bed. The first real chance of anything happens on Thursday morning, July 9th, but it’s a sad tease.
Hangers (beach and reef) is seeing a tiny 2 ft swell from the ESE, with a period of 9 seconds. The combined swell energy is weak at 59. The morning wind is offshore from the WSW at 6 mph, which will keep it clean, but there’s just not enough push. The water temp is about average for this time of year. Honestly, it’s surfable but very ordinary. You’d be scratching for scraps.
The rest of the run is a total bust. We’ve got days of 1.0 ft and 1 ft dribble, with winds that are mostly cross-onshore or just messy. There are a few glassy mornings on Friday July 10th, Saturday July 11th, and Sunday July 12th, but the swell is practically non-existent (1 ft, 8 seconds, combined energy in the 20s to 30s). It’s a long stretch of poor surf quality. For a spot that’s fairly consistent, this is a rare blank run. It’s the kind of setup that looks more interesting for a kite than a surfboard paddle out.
Hang in there, forecasts change. Until then, keep your sticks dry.

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.
