The Lowdown
Alright, let me tell ya, it's been a lean stretch here at Flies. For the next 16 days, the surf is mostly a no-go. We've got a couple of moments where it's technically surfable, but don't go expecting any magic. The biggest gap is right now, through the first few days, with nothing worth paddling out for.
The first faint glimmer comes on Friday, August 7th, in the morning. We're looking at a tiny 3ft swell from the SSW, with a short 6-second period. The wind is cross-offshore from the WSW, which is a help, but the energy is weak (51). It's clean, but honestly, it's just ordinary. The afternoon gets worse with a cross-shore breeze and poor conditions.
Saturday the 8th and Sunday the 9th see a little bump in size to 3ft and 4ft, and the energy gets a bit more moderate (139 and 107), but the wind is up, and the reports are all "poor surf conditions." Not our day.
The best of a bad bunch, if you can call it that, is probably Friday morning, August 14th. We get a 2ft swell from the S, with a 7-second period, and more importantly, a light offshore wind from the NW. The water temp is about average for this time of year. The wave energy is moderate (70) and the conditions are clean. It's still a small, ordinary day, but it’s the cleanest window we get. Flies is a beach/jetty setup, so even with a little S swell, it'll be small and weak.
Later in the forecast, on Friday afternoon, August 21st, we get a moderate offshore breeze from the NW and a 2ft swell from the S. The energy is moderate (66) and the waves are clean, but it's still a tiny wave. The strong offshore winds on the 20th and 21st mornings will make it hard to paddle into, so those are better for the experts if they're desperate.
Honestly, mate, there's nothing to get excited about here. The whole 16-day window is a write-off for any decent surf. If you're a beginner, even the 4ft days on the 8th and 13th will be too much with the wind chop. For the rest of us, it's a good time to check your gear or find something else to do. The swell is weak, the period is short, and the wind is rarely in our favor.

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.
