Table - best surf conditions forecast for Flies over the next 16 days.
G’day, Rusty here. Looks like it’s gonna be a real quiet stretch for a while. The first week or more is mostly marginal, with only a couple of mornings that might get you out for a splash, but nothing to get excited about. We’re talking about a long gap with barely any surf worth paddling for.
The only spot in the mix is Flies, a beach and jetty setup. It’s a fairly consistent break, but you wouldn’t know it from this run. For July 8th through to the morning of July 16th, it’s practically all “poor surf conditions” with scores that don’t even register. The waves are tiny, mostly 1ft to 2ft, with short, weak periods around 6 to 9 seconds. The combined swell energy is weak, barely getting into double digits or low 30s–80s (16-81 range most days). Winds are messy – cross, cross-on, or onshore – so it’s choppy and lumpy. Not worth suiting up.
Even the mornings that are clean on the 10th and 11th have piddly 2ft swell with no push. The energy just isn’t there.
Now, there’s a tiny flicker on the morning of July 16th (Thursday). We finally see a 3ft S swell, period of 8 seconds, with a light offshore NNE breeze at 6 mph. The combined energy climbs to 139 (moderate) and the conditions are clean. It’s still only rated as ordinary surf, but it’s the best we’ve seen. That morning is your only real chance. It’s not a standout by any stretch, just the least worst option. The swell direction is S, and the optimum for Flies is SW, so it’s a bit off-angle, but the offshore wind might tidy it up. Crowds are possible here sometimes, but on a day like this, you might have it quiet.
After that, it’s back to small, poor surf through the rest of the 16-day window. The morning of July 21st has a 3ft SSW swell with a light offshore NW wind at 9 mph, but the period is short (6 seconds) and the energy is weak (65). July 23rd morning offers a similar 3ft SSW swell, 7-second period, and light offshore NW wind, but again, it’s ordinary. Nothing to call in sick for.
If you’re a kite surfer, some of those afternoons with fresh cross-on winds and chop might be more your scene, but for a paddle surfer, it’s a long, flat wait.
Keep an eye on the forecast – it tends not to stay this poor forever.
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.
