The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s going on in the water.
First thing: it’s a dry spell for a while. The first real chance to surf doesn’t pop up until Monday, August 3rd. That’s almost a week from now. From Monday, July 27th through Sunday, August 2nd, it’s all poor conditions – tiny, short-period windswell (6-8 seconds), lumpy cross-shore chop, and just flat-out not worth the effort. Lots of weak, crumbly lines that’ll close out. Not a wave worth paddling for.
On Monday, August 3rd, we get a little pulse. Spew Pits, an expert reef break, sees a 3ft north swell with a 9-second period. The combined energy is moderate (221-244), and the morning is clean with a cross-offshore breeze. It’s still only marginal, but it’s the first sign of life after a long, flat week.
Tuesday, August 4th morning bumps up a notch: a 4ft north swell, period down to 7 seconds, but energy climbs to 351. Wind is clean out of the NE. Could be a decent little window for the experts, especially with crowds only *sometimes* a problem on a weekday.
The big one to watch is Sunday, August 9th. This is the standout. Swell size pushes up to 6ft-7ft from the north, 8-second period, and the combined energy jumps into the strong zone (492-547). That’s serious power. At this size, Spew Pits is strictly for experienced surfers – this is a heavy reef. But the wind is a clean cross-offshore from the NNE all day, so the faces will be smooth and the barrels could be legit. This is the best shot in the whole 16-day window. It’s a week and a half out, so stay tuned, but if it locks in, it’ll be a proper session.
Monday, August 10th keeps the size (6ft-6ft, north swell) but the wind cranks to 25 mph. The energy is still strong (498-574), but that much wind makes the paddle-out a fight and the surface gets bumpy. Hardcore only.
So, here’s the take: endure the first week of nothing, then you’ve got a few marginal days, and one clear standout on August 9th. That’s the day to save your energy for.

Information about the Spew Pits Surf forecast

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.
