The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's check what's coming down the pipe.

To be honest, it's a quiet stretch. The pattern is all small, weak, and short-period swell from the south and southwest, with a tiny southeast pulse way later. The problem is the winds are usually trash or too strong to make anything of it. We're looking at a long drought of poor to non-existent surf for the first week and a half.

Your first real chance to paddle out doesn't come until Sunday, August 16th. Early that morning at Flies, the swell is a measly 2ft from the south with a period of 7 seconds, and the combined energy is a weak 52. The wind is a clean cross-offshore from the NNW, so the surface will be good. It's surfable, but it's very ordinary. The swell is just too small and weak to get excited about, and the period is short, so the waves will be gutless.

After that, another few days of nothing. The next hopeful sign is Friday, August 21st. The morning session at Flies shows a 4ft swell from the south, with a period of 6 seconds. The combined energy hits a moderate 125, so there's a bit more push. The wind is a light offshore from the NW, and the break is fairly consistent, so it'll be clean. Even though the swell is small, this is the most energy we've seen. The afternoon glass off with a 3ft south swell looks clean too, but it's still small. Given the long run of nothing, this is your best bet. The water temp is about average for the time of year at 71°.

Bottom line: Don't plan your week around it. For the first 10 days, the shorebreak is your only option. The week of the 18th onward holds a whisper of hope, but it's a long-range call. For the few days with a little pulse, Flies is the only place to look.

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.
