Alright, this is Rusty, and I gotta be straight with you – the outlook for the next couple of weeks is pretty grim. I’ve been staring at the charts for JT Flemming, and it’s a tough stretch.
The forecast shows a long, frustrating gap with no real windows of good surf. The whole 16-day period is basically a write-off for anything decent. From the first record on July 13th all the way through to the end of the month, we’re looking at a solid run of poor conditions. There’s no standout, no day to circle on the calendar. The consistent onshore breeze and cross-chop just ruin everything.
The first few days are hopeless. Monday July 13th and Tuesday July 14th have messy cross-shore winds and small, weak swell with only moderate energy. The waves are just poor. Wednesday July 15th morning gets a pulse of long-period groundswell from the WNW at about 5 ft, but the wind is still cross and the energy is only moderate. The afternoon cleans up a little with a cross-offshore breeze, but the swell is still junky and the score is barely a 1. It’s marginal at best, and I wouldn’t bother.
From Thursday July 16th onward, it’s just a repeat of the same story. The wind is relentless from the ENE, mostly a fresh breeze at 18-22 mph, creating a lumpy, choppy mess. The swell height fluctuates between 1 ft and 6 ft, but the period is short, mostly 5-8 seconds, meaning weak, wind-affected waves. The combined energy levels are moderate at best. The break itself is a point that rarely breaks, and it’s not breaking cleanly here. The wind direction is cross-shore, and the swell is coming from the wrong direction (ENE-NE) compared to the optimum (NNW). It’s just not happening.
For a spot that’s already inconsistent, this kind of run is more normal than you’d hope. The water temp is about average for the time of year, but that’s the only thing that’s not a problem. Honestly, if you’re keen on a paddle, the setup here looks more interesting for a kite surfer with this steady cross-shore wind than for a surfer. There’s nothing to get excited about.
Stay patient, keep an eye on the charts, but don’t hold your breath for this one.
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.
