The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here. Look, I've had a good look at what's on offer, and I'm not gonna beat around the bush – the next 16 days are a write-off for any sort of decent surf at Spew Pits. This is one of those periods where you're better off finding something else to do.
We're starting off with no surf on the cards. There are no recommendations at all in this 16-day window. The swell that does show up is plagued by fresh breezes and cross-offshore winds that just won't let up. The combined swell energy is moderate at best, hitting around the 400s to 1000s on the 29th, but it’s all for nothing with the wind. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so that's not helping either.
The first few days see some decent sized swell, like a 7ft north swell with a long 11-second period on the 29th, giving a combined energy of 1018 (moderate to strong), but the wind is a solid 19 mph cross-off. That's just messy. For the experts out there, the size is there, but the quality isn't. The swell hangs around through the first week, but the wind stays fresh, keeping the scores flat. By the second week, the swell drops right off. We're looking at tiny 1ft to 3ft waves with cross-shore breezes – not even worth paddling out for. It's a long, blank run for this spot.
Spew Pits is a reef break, consistent, and exposed to the north-northwest, but none of that matters when the conditions are this poor. Honestly, with this persistent wind and mediocre surf quality, the setup is looking far more interesting for kite surfing than for paddle surfing. Don't expect any standouts here. We'll have to wait for the next system to roll through.
Rusty.
