The Lowdown
Alright, let’s look at Flume Beach. It’s a bit of a rough start – Monday the 14th has some 5ft SW swell at 13 seconds, but the wind’s cross-off in the morning, and the water’s at 57°, which is about normal. It’s a marginal one, and for a beginner spot, it’s not really doing anyone any favors.
Then Tuesday the 15th and Wednesday the 16th, it goes huge – 15ft plus – with onshore winds. That’s way too big, and the energy readings are off the charts, like 6767 to 8680. It’s messy and dangerous. That’s kitesurfing territory, not paddling.
Thursday the 17th drops to 10ft, but it’s still too big and cross-on. Friday the 18th is a bit better – 6ft in the morning, 8ft in the afternoon, with a clean cross-off NW wind and a longer period around 16-17 seconds. But it’s still marginal, and the tide’s iffy.
Saturday the 19th is the first real call. The morning is still 10ft and too big, but the afternoon drops to 8ft with a light cross-off. It’s clean, and the energy is still up there at 2164. That’s a window for experienced surfers. It might be a bit walled with that 13-second period, but when it’s glassy, it’s fun.
Sunday the 20th is a write-off – strong winds, rough and lumpy. Monday the 21st, it’s back up to 13ft, even with a glassy afternoon, but it’s just too much for the spot.
The next week, Tuesday the 22nd is still too big at 13ft but clean. Wednesday the 23rd morning has 6ft at 13 seconds, light cross-off, and clean – that’s a nice one. Thursday the 24th morning is small at 3ft but with a long 17-second period – might not have much push.
Then it’s mostly chop and cross-shore winds through the 25th and 26th. But Tuesday the 29th morning is the golden window – 7ft SW swell at 17 seconds, with a light offshore NE wind. It’s clean, and the energy is solid at 4817. That’s the standout of the whole forecast. The afternoon jumps to 10ft, which is too big again.
So, if you’re an experienced surfer, hit it Saturday the 19th afternoon and definitely Tuesday morning the 29th. Everything else is either junk or just too big. And keep in mind, it’s a beach break, so the long-period stuff can be a bit straight, but when it’s clean, it’s worth it.
Rusty out.

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