Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for Spew Pits.
First thing you need to know: this is a 16-day window with a real slow start. The first few days are a write-off. We're talking Wednesday July 8th, Thursday, Friday, all the way through to the end of the first week – nothing but small, weak, cross-shore junk. It's a heartbreaking start, honestly. The water's sitting around 71.8° right now, which is pretty normal for this time of year, so at least that's not a shock.
The first real glimmer of hope comes Saturday July 11th morning. It's tiny though, only 1.0ft, period 8 seconds, and the wind is a cross-offshore breeze. It's clean, but it's barely a ripple. You'd be paddling for hours. The energy is weak (23).
Sunday July 12th morning is where things start to get interesting. The swell bumps up to 2.0ft from the NNW, but the period jumps to 11 seconds – that's a proper groundswell pulse. The energy is moderate (146) and the wind is cross-offshore, so it'll be clean. This is the first session that's actually worth a look. The longer period means the waves will have a bit more shape and punch, but at a reef break like Spew Pits, the long gaps between sets could make it feel a bit inconsistent. Still, it's the best on offer so far.
Monday July 13th morning is similar – 3.6ft from the NNW, 9-second period, clean with a cross-offshore breeze. Moderate energy (180). Good, solid, rideable waves.
Now, the standout of the whole forecast is the weekend of July 18th and 19th. Saturday July 18th morning has 5.2ft from the north, 8-second period, and the energy is strong (373). The wind is cross-offshore, so it's clean. That afternoon, the energy jumps to very strong (604) with the same size and wind. This is the biggest, most powerful swell of the window. It's pushing into the 5ft mark, so it's getting a bit much for beginners, but for an expert reef like Spew Pits, this is the time to be out. The swell direction is north, which is a touch off the optimum NNW, but it's close enough. The crowd factor is "sometimes" here, so expect a few others with the same idea. This is the session to circle.
Sunday July 19th morning is still good – 4.3ft, cross-offshore, clean, with moderate energy (232).
After that, it drops off again. The final week sees a return to smaller, weaker, cross-shore slop, with a few clean mornings here and there but nothing that gets the heart racing.
So, to keep it short: do not bother until Sunday July 12th. The real highlight is the afternoon of Saturday July 18th at Spew Pits (Big Island). The swell is powering up to 5.2ft from the north, the energy is pumping (604), and the cross-offshore wind will keep it clean. It's an expert-only wave, and it'll be a bit of a crowd, but that's your best shot.

Information about the Spew Pits Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Spew Pits provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Spew Pits can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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 Spew Pits 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.
