The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let’s talk about what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, we’ve got a bit of a rough start. The first few days look pretty average, with small, inconsistent waves and tricky winds. The real action doesn’t get going until the weekend.
We’ve got a mixed bag of conditions, but the standouts are shaping up to be the Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning sessions on the 1st and 2nd of August.
Fly Roads is your best bet for this window. It’s a very consistent, exposed beginner break that handles a south swell really well. On Saturday afternoon, the 1st of August, we’re looking at a solid 4ft swell from the south, with a period of 9 seconds. The wind goes glassy – dead calm – and that’s a big deal. It’ll be clean, smooth, and perfect for a long session. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there. The combined wave energy is moderate (298), so there’s enough push to have fun without it being a beatdown.
Then, on Sunday morning, the 2nd of August, the swell is holding at 4ft from the SSE, with a light offshore breeze from the NE. That’s clean, lined-up surf, and the energy is still moderate (238). It’s a bit of a smaller morning, but it’ll be worth the paddle out. Word of caution: the crowds can be *sometimes* an issue here, so get out early if you want a bit of space.
The rest of the week is a mess. The swell gets big – over 8ft on the 5th of August (Wednesday morning) – but it’s coupled with strong onshore winds and choppy conditions. That’s expert-only territory, if anyone’s keen. The 8th of August (Saturday) tries to clean up with a 7ft SSE swell and a 12-second period, but the wind is cross-onshore, making it lumpy. It’s a marginal call, but the long period groundswell might offer some deeper, more powerful lines if you’re willing to work for them.
After that, the 9th and 10th of August are a bit of a come-down, with smaller swell and a messy wind pattern. The 11th of August is a no-go with strong cross-shore winds.
So, to wrap it up: Saturday afternoon, 1st of August and Sunday morning, 2nd of August are your windows. Glassy and clean conditions, manageable swell, and a break that’s consistent. It’s not a huge swell, but it’s the best quality we’ve got.
Stay salty.

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.
