The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I’m feeling a bit gutted for you. The immediate outlook is pretty flat and grim. The only real action is right at the start, so we’ve got to jump on it, or we’re looking at a long, long dry spell.
Flies is your only real option, and it’s a mixed bag. Wednesday the 22nd is the only day that’s really worth paddling out for the next week. The morning is a bit of a mess – a 8 ft SSW swell with a short 8-second period, so it’s a bit of a lumpy, cross-chop mess with a fresh 19 mph cross-swell wind. The water’s a bit colder than usual for this time of year at 69°. The afternoon is the real standout. That swell drops to a cleaner 6 ft from the S, the period stretches to 9 seconds, and the wind swings to a cross-offshore 12 mph. It’ll be clean, with moderate wave energy (537). It’s not a world-beater, but it’s the best we’ve got for a while. It’s fairly consistent here, so you’ll get waves, but crowds are possible, so get in the water.
From Thursday the 23rd onward, it’s a painful run of poor surf conditions. The swell drops right off, the wind is generally onshore or cross-shore, and the energy is low. The next time we see anything remotely surfable isn’t until Thursday the 30th of July. That morning brings a 3 ft S swell and a clean offshore wind from the NW, but the energy is weak (130). The afternoon bumps up to 5 ft, but the period is a short 5 seconds, so it’s just a bumpy mess. Friday the 31st of July morning is the only other glimmer – a 4 ft S swell with glassy conditions, but again, the energy is low (159). It’s a long stretch of mediocrity.
The second week of the outlook is a write-off. The wind is mostly onshore, the swell is tiny, and the period is short. You’re looking at small, choppy waves until maybe the 2nd of August, when a 5 ft SSW swell shows up, but the wind is cross-shore and the period is still short. It’s not going to be a good time.
So, to put it bluntly: your best bet is Wednesday the 22nd afternoon. Get out for that clean 6 ft S swell. After that, you’re going to be waiting a long time. The forecast can always change, but as it stands, this is a lean period for the region.
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.
