The Lowdown
G’day, it’s Rusty here. We’ve got a long stretch ahead, and to be honest, the first week and a half is looking pretty grim. There’s no real surf worth paddling out for until the second Sunday of the period. So we’re staring at a solid gap of about a week before anything even hints at being rideable.
Alright, let’s start with the only spot on the radar: Spew Pits. This is an expert-only reef break that’s exposed to the north-northwest. The water temp is sitting at 75°, which is about average for this time of year—no surprise there.
The first time the forecast even mentions “surfable” is Sunday morning, 13 September. Even then, it’s weak. We’ve got a 3ft swell from the north with a short period of 8 seconds, combined wave energy is only 168—that’s weak energy, barely a pulse. The wind is a light north-northeasterly cross-off, so it’ll be clean, but don’t expect any punch. This is just a tiny, ordinary session for someone who’s really keen.
The next standout window comes Monday morning, 14 September. The swell drops to 2ft but it’s from the north-northwest with a much longer period of 13 seconds—that’s proper groundswell. Combined energy jumps to 234 (moderate). Winds are light east-northeast cross-off, so glassy conditions. This is the first real highlight: small but clean lines with decent push for a reef setup. Keep in mind, long-period swells like this can run a bit straight at beach breaks, but at a reef like Spew Pits it should wrap in nicely. Still, it’s small, so not a day to get overly excited.
After that, it’s back to poor conditions and messy winds for a solid stretch. Then Saturday morning, 19 September, we see another promising window. Swell is 4ft from the north, period 7 seconds, combined energy 304 (moderate). Wind swings light northeast cross-off—clean again. This is surfable and the conditions are good, but the short period means it’ll be a bit fat and weak.
The real standout of the whole forecast lands on Monday morning, 21 September. Swell comes up to 4ft from the north-northwest with a solid 10-second period—that’s a nice groundswell. Combined energy hits 363 (moderate-strong). Wind is light northeast cross-off, so you’re looking at clean, lined-up waves. This is the best on offer across the entire 16 days. It’s not huge, but the quality is there. Crowds are listed as “sometimes” at Spew Pits, so you might see a few other locals out, but it won’t be packed.
Bottom line: it’s a slow start, but the second half of the forecast has a couple of clean, rideable windows. That Monday morning on the 21st is your best bet.
