The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at the charts for the coming weeks.

Well, I’ve got to be straight with you – this outlook is a bit of a bummer. For the whole 16-day window, there’s nothing that’s going to get the heart rate up. The first week is a total write-off, and the second week doesn’t offer much hope either. We’re looking at a long gap of flat, small, and messy conditions.

The only spot on the radar is Hangers, a beach and reef setup. It’s fairly consistent, but that doesn’t mean much when the swell is this weak. The water is sitting at a warm 86°, which is about normal for this time of year.

The first real swell of note doesn’t show up until Thursday, September 3rd, with a 3ft ESE swell. But the wind is a moderate cross-onshore from the ESE at 15 mph, which will chop it right up. The combined wave energy is only moderate at 169. It’s just not worth paddling out for.

There’s a brief moment on Saturday, September 5th when the wind drops to glassy in the morning, but the swell is a pathetic 1.0ft from the east. That’s barely a ripple.

The only period that might get a bit of attention is around Sunday, September 13th. The swell picks up to 2ft from the ESE, with a combined energy of 101 (moderate). The period is 9 seconds, so it’s a short-period windswell, not a proper groundswell. The wind is onshore, so it’s going to be messy. It’s not something I’d call a standout.

The rest of the window is a mix of tiny 1.0ft to 1ft swells with onshore or cross-onshore winds. There are a few clean mornings, like on the 15th of September with glassy conditions, but again, the swell is too small (1ft) to do anything with.

Honestly, for a spot like Hangers, this is a typical flat spell. The forecasts can change, but as it stands, I’d leave the board in the car and go find something else to do. This is not a surf window.

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.
