The Lowdown
Alright, let's get real. I'm Rusty, and I'm looking at the next 16 days. We've got one spot, and it's a long, dry spell before anything even gets a sniff of a wave.
You're looking at a full week of nothing from July 14th all the way to July 22nd. The surf is just garbage. Tiny, weak, and the wind is a fresh cross-off or cross-shore, ruining what little is there. The swell is short-period and puny, with combined energy barely getting over 200 (158) on the 19th, mostly under 100. It's a waiting game.
The only break in the book is Spew Pits (Wainui). It's an expert-only reef, consistent and exposed. It's a fickle wave that needs a clean offshore, and it loves a swell from the NNW. The water here is a touch warmer than normal for the time of year, at 73°F.
Now, the only real standout. The only chance you have is Thursday morning, July 23rd. The swell bumps up to 6ft from the north, with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy hits 358, which is moderate. The wind is a cross-off from the NNE at 15 mph, so the face should be clean. It's a "marginal" forecast, but it's the best we've got by a mile. For an expert reef, that 6ft north swell is your only window. The rest of that day and the days after are still a mess of cross-shore wind and lumpy conditions.
From the 24th to the 29th, the swell sticks around 4ft to 5ft, but the wind is too strong and cross-shore, making it lumpy. The energy builds to 445 on the 26th, but with that fresh cross-off wind, it's not going to be a clean wave. It's a rough outlook, but that's the reality. Your only real shot is the 23rd.
Rusty.

Information about the Spew Pits Surf forecast

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.
