The Lowdown
Right, let’s have a look at what’s shaking over the next couple of weeks for the local spot. Honestly, things start off pretty grim. No two ways about it, the first few days are a write-off with poor conditions, so we’re looking at a gap with no real surf on offer up until the weekend.
The standout session sits with Fly Roads on the morning of Sunday, 2nd August. That’s the one to circle on the calendar. We’ve got a clean 6 ft swell rolling in from the SSE with a proper long period of 12 seconds – that’s groundswell, plenty of energy behind it (combined energy of 1092). The wind is light offshore from the NNE, so you’re looking at clean, well-shaped lines. The only thing to keep in mind with that long period is it can run a bit straight at a beach setup, so keep that in mind, but for experienced surfers, this is the pick of the forecast. The water temp is sitting about average for the time of year at 66°, so nothing unusual there.
Now, the rest of the run is mostly marginal or poor. Before that standout, Saturday morning, the 1st, has some waves around 6 ft but with cross-shore winds and only a score of 2/10, it’s a “maybe” session. After Sunday, it drops off again. Monday the 3rd shows clean 4 ft surf in the morning, but it’s small and the quality fades quickly.
Through the middle of the week, conditions turn messy with onshore winds and lumpy seas. You’ll see a blip on the 5th with 5 ft waves but cross-shore winds ruin the surface. The following weekend and into the second week stays fairly poor and inconsistent. There’s a bigger 8 ft swell showing on Tuesday the 11th, but with strong cross-onshore winds at 16 mph, it’s gonna be choppy and blown out – probably better suited for the kite surfers than a clean paddle session.
The 2nd week is lean overall – small to moderate swells but ugly wind directions keep things from coming together. The same pattern holds with onshore flow and lumpy conditions. There’s no other standout to get excited about, so that Sunday session is your best bet, but it’s still a few days away, so keep an eye on the forecast.

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.
