The Lowdown
Alright, folks, let's talk about Fly Roads. It's been a quiet stretch, but there's a couple of moments that'll get you stoked. The real standout is coming up, so pay attention.
The first proper chance to surf is on the morning of Monday, September 7th. The days before that? Don't bother. From the 1st through the 6th, it's mostly flat, weak, and messy. On the 5th, there's a little offshore breeze, but the swell is tiny at 2ft from the S, so it's not worth the paddle.
Now, Monday morning, the 7th of September. This is the one. The wind goes glassy out of the ENE at just 3 mph. The swell is a solid 5ft from the S with a period of 11 seconds, giving us a combined energy of 552 – that's a solid moderate wave energy. It's going to be clean, the waves will have some punch, and the conditions are set to be "very good." This is the session you want to be on. It's a beginner-friendly spot, but with the swell at 5ft, it might be a little spicy for total beginners, but for everyone else, it's a blast.
The water temperature is 66°F, which is about average for this time of year, so no need for a thick suit.
The afternoon of the 7th gets blown out by a fresh breeze, so get your fill in the morning.
Looking ahead, the 10th and 11th of September see a massive swell pulse, with waves hitting 10ft to 12ft from the S. The combined energy numbers are huge – into the thousands – but the wind is cross-onshore, making it choppy and messy. The forecast notes say the swell is too big for this break. For a spot like Fly Roads, that much power is going to be a washing machine, and it's really only for experts who don't mind a beating. The morning of the 11th is glassy, but 10ft of S swell with a 13-second period is a lot of water moving. It might be more interesting for the kite surfers than paddle surfers, to be honest.
The 15th of September afternoon shows a glimmer of hope with a moderate offshore wind from the NE at 12 mph and a 4ft S swell, offering "good conditions" again, but it's a week and a half away, so keep your fingers crossed.
So, to wrap it up, the clear winner is the morning of the 7th of September. Get out there, grab a few glassy ones, and enjoy the clean lines. The rest of the period is mostly a struggle, but that one morning session is a beauty.

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.
