The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin' for Spew Pits.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – the next couple of weeks are looking pretty grim. We've got a massive gap with hardly any surf worth paddling out for. The first real chance of a wave doesn't show up until Saturday the 29th, and even then, it's a struggle.
The whole pattern is dominated by a persistent northerly wind regime. The swell is mostly coming from the north, which is the optimum direction for this spot, but the wind is just never quite right. For most of the period, it's a cross or cross-off shore breeze, which messes with the surface and leaves it lumpy or choppy. The wave energy is moderate at best, with the combined swell energy reading between 146 and 398 (moderate) for most of the first week, but the surf is consistently rated as poor.
The water temp is sitting at 75°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. Nice for a quick dip, but it won't help the waves.
The only real standout in this entire 16-day window is the morning of Tuesday the 8th of September. A long-period groundswell from the north, pushing 4ft, with a period of 14 seconds. That's a proper groundswell. The combined energy jumps to 811 (strong), and the wind finally goes cross-off and clean. For a reef break like Spew Pits, that long period swell is a big deal – it'll wrap in and give some real power. This is one for the experts though, as the swell is pushing over 5ft. It's a promising call, but it's two weeks out, so keep an eye on it.
Outside of that, the rest is a write-off. The Friday morning the 29th has a bit of size (6ft, 11 seconds) but the wind is on it, making it a mess. The Saturday morning of the 5th of September has tiny 3ft waves with a gentle cross-breeze, but it's just not worth the effort.
Look, this is a tough run. The good news is, when the swell does line up with the wind, Spew Pits can be a gem. But for now, save your energy for that Tuesday morning on the 8th. It's the only real chance of something special.
Rusty.
