Fly Roads Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a good look at what’s ahead for Fly Roads.

The next few days are a bit of a write-off, to be honest. We’ve got a tiny bit of swell on Tuesday the 21st, but it’s nothing to get excited about. Tuesday morning shows a clean, glassy 2ft south swell with a period of 11 seconds, and the combined energy is a modest 101. It’s surfable, but the conditions are just ordinary. That afternoon, the wind swings strong onshore and the wave height drops to 2ft. Wednesday and Thursday are even worse – tiny, weak, and messy. We’re looking at a real quiet spell here.

Then things get a bit more interesting. Friday the 24th sees a jump in size, with 6ft south swell, but the wind is howling onshore and chopping it all up. The combined energy is up to 1010, so there’s plenty of power, but the quality is poor. Not worth it.

Saturday the 25th is the first real standout in the whole run. The morning brings a solid 7ft south swell with a period of 12 seconds and a combined energy of 1346. That’s strong. The wind is cross-shore, so it’s not perfect, but it’s a lot better than what we’ve seen. This is a big, powerful groundswell, and it’ll be best for experienced surfers – 7ft is getting up there. The afternoon drops to 6ft with a lighter cross-shore, but the energy is still high at 721.

Now, the water temp here is about average for the time of year, so nothing unusual to report.

Looking further ahead, there are two more windows to watch. First, Tuesday the 28th morning. The swell is a smaller 3ft from the SSW, but the wind goes glassy again. The energy is 214, and the conditions are expected to be good. This is a smaller, cleaner option for a quieter session.

The real standout in the second week is Sunday the 2nd of August. The whole day is looking prime. The morning has a 4ft south swell, glassy winds, and a combined energy of 395. The afternoon is even better – offshore wind from the NE, clean conditions, and the same 4ft south swell. This is the best bet on offer. It’s still a bit of a wait, but the winds are perfect, and the size is manageable for most. Get it in the diary.

The week after that looks too windy and messy again, with strong breezes spoiling the shape.

So, if you’re keen, the pick of the bunch is Saturday the 25th for the power, or Sunday the 2nd of August for the clean, glassy conditions. Don’t bother with the rest.

Rusty.
