The Lowdown
Alright, mate, Rusty here. Let’s see what’s shaping up for our little patch of coast.
We’ve got a long stretch ahead, but to be honest, there’s a whole lot of nothing for the first two weeks. JT Flemming is a point break that rarely breaks, and this forecast does nothing to change that. For the entire period from now through to the middle of the month, the wind is hammering in from the east-northeast at 12 to 22 mph, almost always cross-shore, creating lumpy, messy conditions. The swell is coming from the wrong direction too – east-northeast – not the north-northwest that this spot prefers. Wave heights bounce around between 2 ft and 6 ft, but with short periods and that cross-chop, it’s poor surf from start to finish. The combined swell energy is mostly weak to moderate, ranging from 44 to 557 (units), which keeps things pretty average. The water temperature is sitting at 80°, about normal for this time of year, so you won’t need a wetsuit, but that hardly matters when the waves are this messy.
The only real glimmer in this 16-day window comes right at the very end. On Monday, August 17th in the afternoon, things shift. The wind swings to the south-southeast at just 6 mph and goes offshore, cleaning up the face. The swell stays at 7 ft from the east-northeast, with an 8-second period, and the combined energy jumps to 878 (units), which is strong. The forecast says “expect very good surf conditions.” That’s the one to circle on your calendar, but it’s a long way out, so treat it as a promising maybe rather than a definite. With the right direction and clean conditions, JT Flemming might just wake up for a session. After a fortnight of garbage, that’s the only standout.
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.
