The Lowdown
G’day, this is Rusty, and I’ve been staring at the charts for your stretch. I’ll be straight with you – there isn't a single decent wave on offer across the entire 16-day window. Nothing. Zero. Zilch. Every single entry for Flamand comes back as "poor surf conditions" with a score that might as well be a goose egg. The whole period is a write-off, so I’ll just walk you through the ugly details.
We kick off Tuesday the 1st of September with wind hammering out of the east at 12 mph, cross-shore and choppy, with a weak 4 ft swell from the east at a short 8 seconds. The combined energy is weak (197). That same mess rolls into Wednesday the 2nd with the swell dropping to 2 ft and the energy fading to 75. Thursday the 3rd isn’t any better – 2 ft, period of 7 seconds, still cross-shore wind. Friday the 4th morning we get a bit of a clean-up with a cross-offshore breeze, but the swell is still only 4 ft at 8 seconds, and the poor rating stays. Same story Saturday and Sunday – some clean mornings, but the wave quality is still garbage.
The first week sputters along with weak swell and rubbish period, and it’s all cross or cross-offshore wind – mostly from the east or southeast, blowing anywhere from 12 to 22 mph. The second week looks even chunkier. Around the 9th and 10th of September, the swell pushes up to 7-7 ft, but the wind cranks to 22 mph and the surface turns into lumpy, cross-shore chop. The combined energy jumps to 495-605, which is moderate-strong, but with that much wind and poor quality, this is more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddle-surfing one. For a beginner break like Flamand, that’s just blown-out and ugly.
Water temp is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there. Crowds are listed as "sometimes," but honestly, no one’s going to be out in this mess anyway. This spot is inconsistent at the best of times, and in this 16-day run, it’s a total bust. Sometimes you get a blank run in these parts, and this is one of them. Forecasts can change, but right now, there’s nothing to get excited about.
Stay patient, Rusty.

Information about the Flamand Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Flamand provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Flamand can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Flamand 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 (Flamand) 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 Flamand 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.
