The Lowdown
Alright folks, let’s have a look at what’s coming up at Flies. This is a beach and jetty setup, exposed to the south-west swell window. Water temperature’s about average for the time of year, nothing wild there.
Honestly, the next week and a half is looking pretty grim. We’ve got a real dry spell on our hands. From now through to the 7th of August, it’s pretty much a write-off. The wind is mostly cross or onshore, and the swell is small and weak, often with poor short-period energy. Even when the swell bumps up a bit on Monday the 3rd, with a 7ft S swell and moderate energy (441), the wind is howling cross-shore at 22 mph, making a mess of it. That’s too big for beginners anyway, and with that wind, it’s only for the hardcore.
The first real glimmer of light comes on Saturday the 8th of August. We get a morning window with a light WNW cross-offshore breeze, cleaning up a small 3ft S swell. The energy is weak (92), but the conditions will be clean. It’s surfable, but very ordinary. The waves are small and the period is only 6 seconds, so it’s a bit of a short-period windswell. Not a standout, but it’s the best we’ve seen in days.
The next notable moment pops up on Monday the 10th of August. The afternoon sees a 5ft SSW swell with moderate energy (186) and a clean cross-offshore breeze from the WSW. That’s the biggest clean swell of the whole run. The period is still short at 6 seconds, so it’ll be a bit soft and lumpy, but it’s the pick of the bunch. After that, it’s back to small, weak, and mostly choppy conditions right through to the 17th.
So, to cut a long story short: the standout is the afternoon of Monday the 10th of August at Flies. The 5ft SSW swell with clean conditions is the best wave on offer, but it’s still a short-period swell so don’t expect perfection. Everything else is either blown out, tiny, or both. For the rest of the 16-day window, you’re looking at a lot of flat, choppy days. It’s a tough run.

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.
