The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let’s talk about what’s on the cards.
It’s shaping up to be a bit of a slow run ahead, with a real standout session early on and then a long stretch of not much. We’re looking at a gap of several days with no real surf to get excited about after that first window.
The pick of the week is Fly Roads (Western Australia). The water temp is sitting at 65°, which is pretty much normal for this time of year. For Sunday morning the 2nd of August, this spot is gonna be firing for the experienced crew. We’ve got a solid SSE swell running at 6ft with a 13-second period – that’s proper groundswell, and it’s packing moderate energy (1083). The wind is a light north at 3 mph, coming cross-off, which will keep the faces nice and clean. This is quality surf, but with that size it’s definitely one for the advanced surfers. Crowds are possible here sometimes, so keep that in mind.
By Sunday afternoon the 2nd, the wind swings around strong from the ENE at 16 mph, and the quality drops right off. Monday the 3rd still has some clean surf with a smaller 4ft swell from the SE and lighter winds, but it’s nothing special. From Tuesday the 4th onwards, things get real ordinary. The swell drops to under 3ft, the wind goes onshore or cross for days, and the energy readings are weak – mostly under 100. We get a tiny window on Saturday the 8th with some glassy 3ft waves in the morning, but it’s only surfable, not a standout. From there, it’s a long stretch of poor conditions with strong winds and chopped-up sea right through to the end. There’s a very small window around the 14th of August with offshore wind, but the swell is tiny again.
The second week is a no-go for most, unless you’re a kite surfer looking at those windy, choppy conditions. For a paddle surfer, Sunday morning the 2nd is the only true standout. After that, it’s a long wait.
Rusty.

Information about the Fly Roads Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Fly Roads provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Fly Roads can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Fly Roads 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 (Fly Roads) 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 Fly Roads 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.
Fly Roads is 13 km (8 miles) from the city of Port Stephens. If you plan a holiday in Newcastle, look for hotels and other accommodation in Port Stephens. Port Stephens has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
