The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, taking a good look at the charts for the coming weeks. To be straight with you, it's a pretty grim stretch we're looking at. We’ve got a 16-day window, but honestly, there’s about a 2-week gap of almost nothing worthwhile. The only glimmer of hope is right at the start, and then it’s a long, quiet wait.
Flies is the only break on the radar, so that’s where we’re stuck. The first bit of hope comes early, Tuesday the 4th of August. The morning glass-off is what we live for. We’re looking at 4 ft of swell from the S, and with that NE wind at 3 mph going glassy, it’ll be clean as a whistle. Wave energy is moderate (174), and the period is a short 8 seconds, so it’ll be a bit weak and won't wrap in with much push, but for a tiny window, it’s the best we’ve got. After that, it’s a whole lot of nothing for the next 11 days or so. I’m not recommending you paddle out on any of that other stuff; it’s messy, blown-out, or just too tiny with poor surf conditions. The combined swell energy even drops into weak double digits, like 37 and 16. It's dismal.
Later on, Saturday the 15th of August shows a bit of life. The morning has 4 ft of SSW swell (moderate energy at 181) with a cross-off breeze from the WNW at 16 mph, which will keep it clean. The afternoon looks even better: 4 ft of swell from the SSW (moderate energy, 163) with a 16 mph offshore from the NW. That’s clean, lined-up potential. But this is a long-range call, so don’t set your watch by it. It’s promising, but we’ll need to see the forecasts firm up. If there’s any standout, it's that Saturday afternoon session for a clean, offshore wave.
So, in short: surf Tuesday morning for the glassy slop, then wait. Keep an eye on the 15th of August. The water temp is about average for the time of year at Flies, so no surprises there.
Until next time, 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.
