The Lowdown
Alright, same story, different numbers. The only spot in the mix is JT Flemming, a point break for beginners, but it’s a fickle one that rarely breaks. And the whole 16-day outlook, from August 7th to August 22nd, is a string of poor surf.
Every single session is trashed by a constant cross-shore wind, mostly from the ENE, blowing at 15 to 22 mph. That’s a moderate to fresh breeze, and it’s going to chop the surface up something fierce. The swell is all short-period windswell, 5 to 8 seconds, so it’s just weak and messy. The combined energy is weak to moderate (77 to 1017), but it doesn’t matter because the quality is shot.
The only flicker of hope is right at the end. On Friday afternoon, August 21st, the wind turns cross-offshore and the report says "clean." That’s the only clean window in the whole run. The swell is small, just 1.3m (about 4 ft) from the ENE with a short period of 5 seconds, so don’t expect power. But for a spot that rarely breaks, a clean surface is everything. The water is 80°F, which is dead average for the time of year, so at least the water feels good.
Honestly, for the first two weeks, this is a kite surfer’s forecast, not a surfer’s. The wind is steady and strong, but the waves are just too lumpy for a good paddle. The first week is a total bust. The second week is a long gap of nothing until that Friday 21st. It’s a long shot, and a beginner wave that rarely breaks is always a gamble, but that’s your one chance. Keep your hopes in check.

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.
