The Lowdown
Alright folks, it’s Rusty here, and I’ve gotta be straight with you – this is a tough one. The next couple of weeks, we’re looking at a real flat spell for Flies, with only a glimmer of hope way out at the end.
We start off Monday, August 3rd, with some energy from a storm system – a solid 8ft of southerly swell, but it’s a short-period 8 seconds and it’s getting hammered by a strong 25 mph crosswind. The water’s 72°, which is about average for this time of year, but the conditions are just plain ugly. That’s a no-go. The combined energy is moderate at 824, but it’s all for nothing.
The rest of the first week into the second is a total write-off. The swell drops, the wind is messy, and we’re looking at scores of days with nothing but small, weak, and choppy surf. The combined energy drops to weenie two-digit numbers like 73 or 87. It’s not worth paddling out. There are a few moments on Wednesday morning, August 5th, with a 4ft southerly swell and a light offshore WNW breeze, but it’s still a short 7-second period and the forecast calls it “very ordinary.” You might get a fun little wave, but don’t drive for it.
We get a few clean-looking mornings, like Saturday August 8th and Sunday August 9th, but the swell is tiny – 2ft to 3ft – and the energy is weak. The wind is off or cross-off, so it’ll be clean, but you’ll be scratching for anything rideable.
Then we hit a proper dead zone. From around August 11th through to the 17th, the swell is almost non-existent, with heights dropping to 1.0ft or 1ft. The combined energy falls into the pathetic teens and twenties. It’s a long, flat stretch.
Now, here’s the light at the end of the tunnel. On Tuesday, August 18th, we finally get something to talk about. A building swell from the southwest pushes 6ft in the morning, with a combined energy of 221 (moderate), and the wind is a clean offshore from the north at 9 mph. The afternoon sees it climb to 6ft (338 energy) with a cross-off wind. The period is still short at 6-7 seconds, but it’s the only real surf in the whole outlook. It’s a standout only because everything else is so poor. This one is promising, but it’s a long way off, so keep an eye on the charts.
If you’re a kite surfer, those windy, choppy days in the first week with 8ft swell and 25 mph winds are far more interesting than anything for a paddle board. For the rest of us, it’s a waiting game.
Rusty.

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.
Flies is 32 km (20 miles) from Mastic. If you plan a vacation in Long Island New York, look for hotels and other accommodation in Mastic. Mastic has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
