The Lowdown
G'day, I'm Rusty, and I'm staring at a pretty bleak picture for the Flies for the next couple of weeks. Honestly, mate, it's a tough run. There are no real standout sessions, and the forecast is mostly a write-off for decent waves. Let's break it down.
We're looking at a beach/jetty setup that's exposed to the swell, but for the first several days, the conditions are just plain ugly. We start with Saturday, August 1st, with a poor 3 ft S swell, barely 8 seconds, and a cross-shore wind has it all chopped up. The energy is a weak 104. It's a similar story through Sunday and Monday, with the swell getting a bit bigger but the wind howling, making it lumpy and messy. The water temp is about 71°, which is pretty normal for this time of year.
There's a tiny glimmer on Tuesday morning, August 4th, when the wind goes glassy. The swell is a weak 4 ft from the south at 8 seconds, with a combined energy of 198. It's surfable, but the guide says it's "very ordinary conditions." You could probably get a few, but it's far from good.
From there, it's back to the doldrums. The week of the 5th through the 10th is a blur of poor surf, with miserable 3 ft to 5 ft swells, short periods, and cross-shore winds. The only bright spot is a few periods of clean cross-offshore winds on the 7th and 9th, but the swell is tiny and weak. The energy readings are all in the low to mid 100s, telling you there's just no power.
The period from the 11th onwards is even worse. The swell drops off to under 3 ft, and the wind is often onshore or cross-shore. There's a brief spike on the 14th with a 7 ft SSW swell and 7-second period, but the wind is onshore, so it's a messy, blown-out 7 ft. Not worth paddling out for.
All in all, it's a flat, gappy 16 days with no proper surf on offer. The Flies is a fairly consistent spot, but even it can't buy a wave in this outlook. You'd honestly be better off checking if the kite is rigged, because the setup is more interesting for that than paddle surfing right now.

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.
