The Lowdown
Right, mates, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks.
Straight up, I gotta be honest with you – it’s a grim run. The only spot in the whole window is JT Flemming (point), and it’s a rare one at that. This place barely breaks, and when it does, it’s not exactly rolling out the red carpet for us. The whole 16-day period is a write-off for decent paddle surfing. The wind is locked in from the ENE, blowing a steady 12 to 19 mph, and it’s consistently cross-shore, throwing a chop all over the place. The swell’s coming from the wrong direction too; this spot wants a NNW swell, and we’re getting ENE and NE pulses. The water temp is about average for this time of year.
From Sunday the 19th of July right through to Monday the 3rd of August, every single session is marked as poor. The swell heights bounce around between 3 ft and 7 ft, but the energy is weak to moderate (56 to 486). The period is mostly short and choppy, under 8 seconds, which is just junky windswell. There’s a couple of days with a longer period on the 29th and 30th of July and the 3rd of August, with periods hitting 11, 12, and even 15 seconds, but the wind is still spoiling it, and the direction is still off. The stronger energy days (486 on the 23rd and 485 on the 29th) are still just messy.
Honestly, for a point break that needs a clean offshore wind and a specific swell direction, this is a bust. The combo of constant cross-shore breeze and poor swell alignment means there’s nothing to get excited about. If you’re desperate, the 29th of July Wednesday morning has a long-period 3 ft swell from the ENE with a 12-second period, but the wind is still cross. It’s a long shot. For now, I’d save your energy. This is one of those blank runs that’s pretty normal for the area.
Stay salty.
Rusty.

Information about the JT Flemming Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for JT Flemming provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at JT Flemming can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our JT Flemming 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 (JT Flemming) 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 JT Flemming 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.
JT Flemming is 21 km (13 miles) from Wailuku. If you plan a vacation in Maui, look for hotels and other accommodation in Wailuku. Wailuku has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
