The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let me be straight with you: it’s looking like a bummer of a run at JT Flemming. This spot rarely breaks as it is, and for the whole 16-day window the conditions are just not coming together for a proper session.
Right now and for the next couple of weeks, the wind is stubbornly coming out of the ENE, blowing cross-shore every single day. That’s creating lumpy, cross-choppy surfaces. Even when there’s a little swell around, like the 3ft to 4ft stuff on Wednesday the 5th (9-second period, with moderate energy of 191), it’s just poor surf conditions. The water temp is 80°, which is about average for the time of year.
We do see the swell sizes bumping up a bit later on. By Saturday the 9th of August, we’re looking at 6ft in the morning with ENE swell at 7 seconds, but the cross-shore wind is hitting 22 mph, and there’s a risk of thunderstorms. That’s not a recipe for anything clean. The energy climbs into the moderate-to-strong range by mid-month — for instance, Monday the 17th has 6ft swell and energy readings of 437 to 458 — but the wind never lets up, and all the comments say “poor surf conditions.” The swell direction is ENE to NE, and this break needs NNW to really work. That’s a mismatch.
Bottom line: there are no good surf options in this 16-day window. For a break that rarely works, this kind of blank run is pretty normal. It’s not a beach setup, but with the constant cross-breeze and chop, you might find a kite surfer having more fun out there than a paddle surfer.
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.

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.
