Howdy, it's Rusty. Let's cut through the noise on this one. We’ve got a 16-day stretch with nothing but bad news on the surf front.
The only spot in the mix is JT Flemming, a point break that rarely breaks. That alone tells you we’re in a rough patch, and for this area, a long, quiet run like this is pretty standard.
From Friday, July 10th through to at least the 16th, it’s all poor surf. The wind is a fresh cross-shore out of the ENE, trashing the surface. Swell is 5ft to 6ft from the ENE or NE, but with a short, weak period of 6 to 8 seconds. The combined energy is moderate, in the 275-420 range, but it doesn't matter with that lumpy cross-chop. Water temp is 79°, pretty normal for this time of year.
Heading into the second week, from July 20th to the 25th, it’s more of the same. Swell drops below 5ft, the period stays short, and the wind stays cross-shore. Energy falls off a cliff, with combined energy readings of 75 to 159 (weak wave energy). There are two clean days on the 18th and 19th of July with a cross-off breeze, but the guidance still rates it as poor surf.
Bottom line: nothing to ride here. With the constant cross-shore wind and weak, short-period swell, this looks way better for kite surfing than paddle surfing. The only thing close to a highlight is on the morning of July 15th, where a long-period, 15-second groundswell from the WNW shows up, but the swell height is just 2ft. Not enough to do anything with. Save your energy. This one’s a dud.
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.
