Table - best surf conditions forecast for Flies over the next 16 days.


The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let's cut to the chase. The outlook for Flies is a real bummer. Over the next 16 days, there's basically nothing for a surfer to get excited about. The swell is just non-existent. The best we see is a little blip of moderate energy hitting 107 on Sunday afternoon the 9th, but the conditions are still poor. The water is sitting at 71.4°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year.

From Thursday the 6th all the way through the 21st, every single report says "poor surf conditions." It's a long, flat stretch. The swell is tiny, never getting over 3.3ft, and it's coming from the S or SSW with a short, weak period. The wind is all over the place, mostly cross or cross-onshore. We get a glassy morning on Wednesday the 12th, but with a 2.3ft swell and a 6-second period, there's just no power behind it. The energy numbers are almost all in the double digits, which is weak, and the few that hit triple digits are barely there.

With the constant cross-shore winds and the tiny, weak swell, this spot looks way more fun for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer. Flies is an exposed beach setup, but right now it's just flat. It's a tough run, but that's how it goes sometimes. Forecasts can always change, but for now, there's nothing to ride.

Information about the Flies Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for Flies provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Flies can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Flies 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 (Flies) 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 Flies 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.
