The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, looking at what's on the table for the next couple of weeks. Honestly, it's a bit of a rough stretch. We've got a solid, consistent spot, but mother nature isn't making it easy.
The main event is Spew Pits, an expert-only reef break that's consistent and exposed to the north-northwest. The water is sitting at 75°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so that's a small win.
The first week, from the 31st of August right through to the 10th of September, is a total write-off. The swell is there, but the wind is a relentless northerly, anywhere from 9 to 22 mph, keeping the conditions poor. The combined wave energy is moderate, hitting 497 on the morning of the 2nd of September, but it doesn't matter when it's all cross-shore chop. There's nothing to get excited about here.
Now, we do get a little window. On the 8th of September, the wind finally swings around to a light north-easterly, giving us clean, cross-off conditions. The swell is small, only 2ft from the north-west, but it's a long-period groundswell of 12 seconds. That's the kind of energy that can make a reef like Spew Pits work. The combined energy is a solid 258 (moderate). It's not big, but for a quiet Tuesday morning, it might be the pick of a bad bunch. The crowd factor is "sometimes" here, so you might have it to yourself.
The real standout, and it's a distant one, is on the 15th of September. The forecast shows a 4ft swell from the north-west with a very long period of 16 seconds. That's proper groundswell. The combined energy jumps to a strong 982. The problem is the wind is still a cross-shore northerly at 16 mph, creating a chop. It's promising, but with that wind, it's going to be a battle. The 16-second period means the sets will be fat and powerful, but the rip might be your friend getting out. This one is for the experts only, and it's a gamble that far out.
So, if you're desperate, the 8th of September is your best bet for a clean, small wave session. If you're feeling lucky and want some real power, keep an eye on the 15th of September, but don't hold your breath.
Rusty.
