G’day, Rusty here. It’s been a tough run for surf lately, and I’ve got to be straight with you—the next few weeks aren’t looking great for catching waves around here. We’ve got a fair gap ahead with no solid options, but let’s walk through it day by day.

Alright, so right now through the first week of July, it’s pretty much flat or junk. We start off Friday the 3rd with a tiny 3ft SSW swell at Flies, period a short 6 seconds, combined energy weak at 43—plus cross-off winds. The water temp’s sitting at 69°, which is pretty average for this time of year. Not worth paddling out. That same small, poor-quality pattern hangs through the weekend and into Monday the 6th, with swells barely 2ft to 2ft and onshore or cross-onshore winds. Tuesday the 7th has a moment of glassy conditions in the afternoon, but with swell down to 0.3ft and period 10 seconds, you’re looking at barely a ripple.

Wednesday the 8th sees a bump—3ft from the east, period 6 seconds, combined energy at 137 (moderate), and a clean cross-off wind in the morning. Closest we’ve had to a surfable window, but it’s still small and short-period. Nothing to get excited about.

After that, it’s more of the same through to the 10th—poor surf conditions, small swell, and messy winds. We hit a bit more energy on Saturday the 11th with a 4ft S swell at 8 seconds, combined energy 244 (moderate), and a clean cross-off in the morning. It’s surfable but ordinary. Sunday the 12th gets bumpy with onshore winds.

Then there’s another lull until Wednesday the 15th—still poor conditions, but watch out: we get a 6ft S swell (period 7 seconds) building to 7ft in the afternoon, combined energy jumping to 288 then 429 (strong). That’s big, but with fresh cross-shore winds and short period, it’s messy—better for kite surfing than paddle surfing at Flies, which is a beach/jetty setup.

The only real standout in this whole outlook is Thursday the 16th, morning. Swell 4ft from the south, period 8 seconds, combined energy 208 (moderate), and a clean cross-off wind from the WSW. It’s the one session with “expect good surf conditions” noted. Still, it’s a short-period swell, and this spot is fairly consistent but it’s been a bleak run.

Look, we’ve got a solid 16 days with not much to offer—big gaps of several days with no real recommendations. If you’re itching for a paddle, Thursday the 16th morning is your best bet, but keep expectations low on shape and power.

Stay patient. Forecasts can change.

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.
