G’day, Rusty here. I’ve had a good look at what’s coming for JT Flemming over the next couple of weeks, and I’ve got to be straight with you – it’s a tough run. This is a point break that rarely breaks anyway, and the forecast is serving up a long, frustrating gap. There’s not a single “good surf” option in the entire 16-day window. Every single session is marked as poor surf conditions, so don’t bother getting your hopes up.
The pattern is pretty grim. From Friday July 3rd right through to Saturday July 18th, it’s all the same story. The wind is locked in from the ENE, blowing cross-shore at 15 to 22 mph, which just messes up any chance of a clean wave. The swell is hanging around 4 ft to 7 ft, coming mostly from the ENE or NE, with periods between 5 and 8 seconds – that’s short-period windswell, not the proper groundswell this place needs. The combined energy is all over the shop, from 112 (weak) up to 455 (strong), but with that wind and direction, it’s all just lumpy, cross-chop. Nothing to write home about.
There are a couple of odd days near the end. On Tuesday July 14th afternoon, and Wednesday July 15th morning, the swell drops to 2 ft but from the WNW with a period of 16 seconds – that’s a very long period groundswell. The energy is moderate (354 to 374), but the wind is still a cross-shore breeze, and the wave comment still says poor. That long-period swell would need clean offshore wind to be any good at this point break, and it’s just not there. The cross-shore ENE wind means it’s breaking too straight for a proper point wave.
On Tuesday July 14th morning there’s a bump to 5 ft from ENE, combined energy of 395 (moderate), but again, same cross-shore wind. For a spot that only gets going on a NNW optimum, having swell from ENE or NE is a total mismatch.
Water temperature is 79°F with an anomaly of 0.7°F – basically average for this time of year. No real standout there.
With no good surf on offer and the wind consistently cross-shore, I’d say this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. The only positive is that this is a rarely breaks spot, so a blank run like this is actually normal for the area. Don’t throw your board away – forecasts can change.
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.
