Table - best surf conditions forecast for Flies over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here, let’s talk about what’s cooking at Flies.
Look, I’ve got to be straight with you. For the first couple of weeks of this forecast window, things are looking pretty grim. We’ve got a solid 15-day stretch where the surf is just not happening. From Sunday the 12th of July right through to Saturday the 26th, every single session is a write-off with poor surf conditions. The swell is tiny, the wind is mostly cross or onshore, and it’s just a mess. There’s a few clean moments on the 15th, 16th, 17th, and 20th, but the wave heights are still pitiful, barely hitting 4 ft at best, with weak energy readings mostly under 100 (86, 52, 77, 94). It’s a real drought.
The only beacon of hope comes right at the very end of the forecast. On Monday morning, the 27th of July, we finally see a pulse of life. Flies is looking at a 5 ft swell from the south, with a period of 8 seconds. Now, it’s not a long-period groundswell, so it won’t have that extra push, but the combined energy jumps to 284 (moderate wave energy), which is a solid step up. More importantly, the wind is glassy, dead calm. That’s a major positive. If you get a clean, glassy 5 ft south swell, the beach/jetty setup at Flies could actually offer some fun, rideable waves. It’s a fairly consistent spot, so it should break, but it’s an exposed spot, so that south swell will hit it directly. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so no drama there.
That Monday morning of the 27th is the one and only standout. If you can wait, it’s your best bet. Before that, don’t bother. It’s a long blank run, but for the area, that’s just how it goes sometimes. Forecasts can change, but right now, that’s the picture.
Stay patient, and I’ll catch you down the line.

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.
