The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight about JT Flemming for the next 16 days.
The outlook is a total dud. This point break is known for being a once-in-a-blue-moon kind of spot, and this forecast is proving it. From the 17th of July all the way through to the 1st of August, not a single session gets the green light. It's "poor surf conditions" from start to finish.
The wind is the main villain. It's coming from the ENE or NE at 12 to 22 mph, a constant cross-shore that's churning up a lumpy, cross-chop. The swell is a mess, too, coming from the W, ENE, or NE with short, weak periods between 5 and 9 seconds. The combined wave energy is moderate, reaching a high of 368 on the afternoon of the 18th of July, but the wind kills it.
There's a glimmer of hope in the far-out forecast around the 29th and 30th of July. The swell turns to ENE and the period stretches to 12 seconds, a proper groundswell. The energy jumps to a strong 616 on the 29th afternoon and stays at 607 on the 30th morning. Swell heights are about 4ft to 5ft. But the wind is still a messy cross-shore, and the guide says this break needs a NNW swell, not an ENE one. So even that big energy won't wrap in right.
The water temp is 79°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year.
The bottom line is there's nothing here to get excited about. The break is inconsistent, the wind is cruel, and when the ocean finally sends some energy, it's from the wrong angle. It's a kite-surfing show, not a paddle-surfing one.
Rusty.
