The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, now in feet and miles. Let’s break down Fly Roads.
The next 16 days are a mixed bag. Plenty of south swell on the way, but the wind is gonna ruin a lot of it. You gotta be patient.
Monday the 7th kicks off with a clean 5ft wave from the south, but a moderate east breeze keeps it from being epic. The energy is weak at 339. It’s rideable, but nothing to write home about. Tuesday through the rest of the week is mostly blown out—strong winds from the south, lumpy, poor conditions. Thursday the 10th sees a big 10ft south swell with energy at 2434 (moderate to strong), but it’s all onshore and ugly. That’s not for paddling.
The first real standout is Saturday the 12th afternoon. The swell drops to a clean 5ft from the SSE, period bumps to 11 seconds (good groundswell), and the wind goes cross-off from the east at 9 mph. Water temp is 20°, a touch warmer than normal. This is your session—clean, manageable, and not too crowded, though you might see a few others out there.
Sunday the 13th morning is also good—offshore wind from the NE at 6 mph, 3ft SSE swell, glassy conditions. It’s small but perfect for a longboard. Energy is low at 314.
Then there’s a gap. Monday the 14th morning is tiny—2ft—and it stays small and mostly flat until Wednesday the 16th.
Wednesday the 16th morning is a hidden gem. Glassy, light WSW breeze, swell at 5ft from the south, 9-second period, energy at 364. Smooth and clean. A great session if you like it small and perfect.
After that, things go wild. Thursday the 17th afternoon and Friday the 18th bring a massive south swell—15ft with energy readings of 4697 and 6840 (very strong)—but with gale-force onshore winds. That’s kite territory, not for a surfboard.
Into the second week, we get clean but tiny surf. Monday the 21st morning has a 3ft SSE swell with a light offshore north wind—clean but weak. Tuesday the 22nd morning is similar, 4ft from the south, short 6-second period, but clean and offshore from the north.
Best on offer: Saturday the 12th afternoon. That’s the pick. Solid swell, good wind, and the water’s a bit warmer than usual. Sunday the 13th morning and Wednesday the 16th morning are the other clean windows, but much smaller.
The rest is either blown out, flat, or huge and dangerous. Keep watching the forecast—it won’t stay poor forever.
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.
