Flemming Beach Park Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G'day, I'm Rusty. Let's have a look at what's coming up for Flemming Beach Park. This is a beach and reef setup, pretty exposed to the swell and it's a consistent spot, which is a good start. The water temp is sitting at about 80°, which is pretty normal for this time of year with nothing out of the ordinary there.

The first week and a bit is looking pretty average overall, but there's a light at the end of the tunnel. From now until the 5th of September, it's mainly small, weak surf with combined wave energy readings mostly under 100 (9, 13, 31, 46, 90). The wind is a steady cross-off from the ENE, which keeps the surface clean, but the swell is just too small and weak to get excited about. Thursday the 29th of August has a tiny 0.7ft to 1.0ft, and the period is long (17-18 seconds), but at that size it's barely a ripple. The 30th of August has a little more shape with a 1ft, 16-second swell from the SW, but still nothing to paddle out for.

The first real potential shows up on the morning of Monday, 1st of September. The morning sees a 5ft swell from the NE with a short 8-second period, and combined energy jumps to 352 (moderate). The wind remains cross-off from the ENE. It's borderline, but with consistent break and clean conditions, it could be a session for the more patient surfer. The afternoon of the same day drops right back to 1.0ft, so it's a short window.

Then we hit a gap with very little surf until the morning of Sunday, 6th of September. That's where things start to get interesting. The morning of the 6th delivers a 4ft NE swell with an 8-second period and combined energy of 386 (moderate). The wind is a light 9 mph from the ENE, so it's clean. The 7th of September (Monday) looks even better with the same 4ft NE swell and period, but the combined energy is a bit lower at 283, and the wind stays light and cross-off. These are the standout sessions in the whole outlook. The NE swell is a bit short period, so it'll be a bit lumpy at the beach break, but at this size and with clean conditions, it's the best we've got.

After that, the 8th of September sees a 3ft to 4ft NE swell, but the wind picks up and the quality drops back to poor. The rest of the window fades out into small, weak surf again.

The best on offer is the morning of Sunday the 6th and Monday the 7th. The swell direction is NE, which is off the optimum NW direction, but the size is surfable, the wind is light and clean, and the consistent nature of the break means you'll get waves. It's not a massive swell, so it's good for all levels. Get out there early.

Rusty.
