The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. I’ve been staring at the charts for the next couple of weeks, and I gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough stretch for JT Flemming. This spot is a rare one to begin with, a point break that’s a dream for beginners, but it’s gonna be a long wait for anything decent.
The whole 16-day window is a write-off for quality surfing. From Monday August 3rd right through to Monday August 17th, we’re looking at a solid run of "poor surf conditions" with zero scores. That’s a painful gap of over two weeks. The wind is a stubborn cross-shore, mostly from the ENE, blowing at 12 to 22 mph, which is just going to chop everything up. We’re seeing a mix of small swell from the NE, but the period is short, between 4 and 8 seconds, so it’s weak, crumbly, and unshapely. The combined energy is low to moderate, hitting a peak of 502 on the afternoon of August 17th, but the wind is a fresh 22 mph cross-shore, ruining any chance of a clean face.
The only glimmer of hope, and I mean a tiny glimmer, comes on Tuesday August 18th. The morning shows a 6 ft NE swell with a period stretching to 9 seconds, and the combined energy jumps to 557. The wind drops to a gentle 9 mph cross-shore. It’s still not perfect, and the forecast calls it "marginal surf forecast," but that’s the best we’ve got. The afternoon gets even lighter wind, only 6 mph, with a 6 ft swell and energy at 612. It’s barely a 1 out of 10, but for a break that rarely breaks, you might find a couple of rideable, albeit lumpy, waves. The water temp is a warm 80°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year.
So, to be honest, if you’re a beginner, JT Flemming is a great spot to learn, but you’ll be waiting until the final day of the forecast for anything that’s even worth a paddle. The rest of the window is a no-go. Keep your eyes on the charts, but I wouldn’t hold your breath.
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.
