Fly Roads Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s talk about what’s coming up for Fly Roads. Honestly, for the next few days, it’s a bit of a write-off. There’s solid swell, but the wind is just trashing it. We’re looking at a lot of onshore and cross-onshore junk, with wave energy hitting moderate to strong levels (1212), but the quality just isn’t there. Hang tight, because it cleans up.

Saturday morning, September 12th, is where it finally turns on. Glassy conditions, a clean 4ft of S swell rolling in with a nice 12-second period, and moderate energy (737). That’s the first real window for a decent session. The water temp is 66°, which is pretty much normal for this time of year.

We get another clean shot on Sunday the 13th, with a light NE offshore wind. The swell is smaller, around 3ft, but still from the S, so it’s worth a paddle if you’re keen.

Now, for the real standout. I’m looking at Saturday, September 20th. The morning is looking absolutely pristine. Glassy conditions, a solid 8ft of S swell with an 11-second period, and the combined energy is strong at 1246. This is big, clean surf. However, at 8ft, this is pushing into expert territory. This is the one to keep your eye on, but it’s a long way out, so treat it as promising but not locked in.

Sunday the 20th afternoon and into Monday the 21st morning also have some great potential. Monday morning has glassy conditions and a still-chunky 6ft SSE swell with moderate to strong energy (985).

After that, the swell fades out. We drop back to smaller, cleaner waves for the rest of the second week, but nothing that’s going to set the world on fire. The crowds at Fly Roads can be an issue at times, so for that big Saturday morning, you’ll want to be up and at ‘em early.

It has been a slow start, but there’s some real quality to be had if you wait for it.
