The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at the options for the next couple of weeks.
Alright, let's be straight with you. The outlook for Spew Pits is a bit of a grind for the next 16 days. We’ve got a consistent supply of northerly swell, but it’s just not aligning with the conditions. The water is sitting at 75° which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, which is something, but it doesn't make up for the rest.
The first week and a half is pretty much a write-off. From Tuesday, 1st September, right through until Sunday, 13th September, it’s a long stretch of poor surf. The wind is stuck in the north-northeast to north sector, blowing a cross-off or cross-shore breeze that’s just too strong—18 to 22 mph at times. The swell is there, around 3 ft to 6 ft, but it’s mostly short-period windswell (6 to 8 seconds), and the combined energy is moderate (around 299 to 540). The comment says it all: "poor surf conditions." This is a reef break, so it takes a decent swell, but with that wind, it’s going to be a mess. It’s consistent, but it’s not worth paddling out for.
There is a tiny glimmer on the morning of Saturday, 5th September. The swell drops to 3 ft from the NNW, with a cross-off breeze, and the comment says "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions." It’s a 1/10, though, so don’t get your hopes up. The Saturday morning of 12th September and Sunday morning of 13th September also get a "marginal" tag, but the wind is still cross-shore, and the swell is short-period. It’s not the kind of surf you’d drive for.
The best of the whole run, and this is a relative term, looks like the morning of Tuesday, 15th September. We see a pulse of longer-period groundswell—12 seconds—from the north, with a clean cross-off wind. The combined energy is moderate (302). The swell is only 3 ft, but that longer period will give it some shape. This is a reef break, and a long-period north swell is exactly what it wants. The optimum direction is NNW, and this is close enough. It’s a marginal call, but it’s the only window where everything might come together. It’s still only a 1/10, so don't expect much, but it's the standout by default. The crowds are sometimes an issue here, so you might find a few others with the same idea.
Forget the rest of the second week. Wednesday, 16th September, the swell drops back to 2 ft, and the wind is up again. It’s a clean cross-off, but there’s just no energy (147).
So, if you’re desperate, aim for the morning of the 15th. Otherwise, the first 13 days are a write-off.

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. Our Spew Pits 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 (Spew Pits) 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 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.
