The Lowdown
Alright, let's break down what's in store. It's a grim start, honestly. The first several days are a total loss, with junk conditions and bugger-all energy. There's a big empty gap of nothing worth chasing until we get past the first chunk of the forecast.
The first real chance comes on Sunday, September 13th. Spew Pits (reef) finally shows a pulse. The morning session is the one to go for. We've got a north swell running about 4ft, and the wind is a light, offshore breeze from the northeast at just 3 mph. That's a huge difference. The water is warm at 74°, which is standard for the season. The wave energy is moderate at 274, so there's some oomph behind it. This is an expert-only wave, and it's consistent, so you'll get plenty of rides. It's not a monster, but it'll be clean. Don't sleep on the morning because the breeze shifts onshore in the arvo.
Now, the absolute standout of the whole forecast is Monday, September 14th. Again, Spew Pits is the spot. The early morning is pure magic. The swell is a smaller 2ft, but it's a beautiful, long-period groundswell from the NNW with a 13-second interval. That's quality stuff. The wind is glassy, a complete dead calm at 3 mph from the NNE. It's going to be like a lake out there. The combined energy is moderate (254), but with that long period, the waves will have real shape and punch. For a reef, this is ideal. With the water still warm, this is a morning you'll be dreaming about.
After that, it fizzles out. The swell drops away, and the wind gets messy again. The rest of the second week and into the third is mainly small, weak, and with cross-off breezes, resulting in poor conditions. There's a tiny blip on Tuesday, September 22nd with a 1ft, 14-second groundswell, but it's tiny and the wind is just so-so. Not worth getting excited about.
So, the plan is simple: write off the first week. Get your calendar out for Sunday the 13th for a clean, fun session, and be absolutely in the water at first light on Monday the 14th for the best, glassiest waves of the whole run. A short window, but a real beauty.

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.
