The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, for the first week and a half, it’s pretty grim. The wind is howling from the ENE and kicking up a nasty chop, and the swell is messy. We’re looking at a long stretch of poor surf conditions from the 28th of July all the way through to the 11th of August. There’s a real gap here with nothing worth paddling out for.
The only real bright spot in this whole 16-day window is a brief window on the morning of Wednesday the 12th of August. That’s nearly two weeks out, so keep your fingers crossed, but it’s the only one that looks promising.
JT Flemming – This is a point break that rarely breaks, so when it does, it’s a special event. The morning of the 12th of August, we’ve got a light SSE offshore breeze, 5ft of swell coming from the NE. The wind will be clean and offshore, making for glassy conditions. Wave energy is moderate (168). The water temp is sitting at 80°, which is bang on average for the time of year. The swell period is short though, only 6 seconds, so it won’t have that long-period groundswell punch, but with the wind so clean and the break being a point, it could still be a fun little session. You might have some company though – crowds are possible here.
So, there it is. A long wait for a short, clean window. This is a classic case of a spot that rarely offers up, and when it finally does, the conditions can line up. It’s not a big swell, but for a point break with offshore wind, it’s the best on offer by a long way.
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.
