The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here again with the imperial numbers.
It’s quiet off the bat, with nothing worth paddling out for on Wednesday the 22nd despite some swell. The first real glimmer of hope shows up on Wednesday morning, July 29th. We’ve got a moderate 4ft S swell (8 second period) pushing in with a fresh offshore wind from the NW. That’s gonna clean up the lineup at Flies. The water is sitting at a cooler-than-normal 69°, about 2° below average for this time of year. The combined swell energy is moderate at 173. It’s not a massive day, but with clean conditions, it’s the best we’ve seen in a while.
We then hit a long, flat run until Sunday, August 2nd. That morning, a nice 6ft S swell (8 seconds) rolls in with cross-off winds from the WSW. The energy is solid at 386, and the conditions are clean. This is your standout session for the whole run. It’s a fun, intermediate-level wave. The swell direction is from the south, which is a touch off the optimum SW direction for the break, but the clean conditions and solid size make it the pick of the period.
After that, it drops back to small and messy through the first week of August. There’s nothing else worth chasing.
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.
