The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Looking at the next 16 days for Flies, I’ll be straight with you – it’s a pretty grim stretch with a big dry spell in the middle.
The first real chance to paddle out isn’t until Thursday morning, July 30th. That’s about a four-day wait. That morning, we’ve got a south swell at 4ft with a 9-second period, giving it some decent push. The wind is a light offshore from the WNW, so the waves will be clean. The water temp is about normal for this time of year. The combined energy is moderate at 186. It’s not a huge swell, but it’s the best we’ve got. By Thursday afternoon, the wind picks up to a moderate cross-offshore from the north at 16 mph, with the swell dropping to 3ft. It’s clean, but the energy drops to 134.
Then it’s a slow fade. Friday (31st) and Saturday (1st) mornings have tiny, clean waves – around 3ft and 3ft – but the energy is weak (123 and 107). The wind stays light, but there’s just no power. Saturday afternoon gets messy. Then from Sunday, August 2nd, all the way through to the end of the forecast, the swell completely flatlines. We’re talking 0.7ft to 2ft with very low energy readings (5 to 92). The wind is variable, but with waves that small, it’s a washout. The second week is a total blank.
The only real standout is that Thursday morning, July 30th. It’s the only time with a clean offshore wind and a bit of a swell. It’s a beach/jetty, so that 9-second period will give you some shape, but don’t expect anything world-class. Crowds are possible, but with this forecast, they’ll be light. Overall, it’s a rough outlook. Hang in there, and check back – forecasts can turn.
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.
