The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, and I’ll level with you – it’s looking bleak for the next couple of weeks.
We’ve got one spot on the radar, Spew Pits, an expert-only reef break. The problem is, from now right through to the end of the 16-day window, every single session is marked as “poor surf conditions.” We’re looking at a solid blank run of over two weeks with no rideable waves on offer. The swell energy is mostly weak to moderate, ranging from just 16 up to 310 (combined energy), but that’s being generous – the quality simply isn’t there.
Kicking off on Sunday the 2nd of August, we’ve got tiny swell at 2 ft from the WNW with a period of 9 seconds. That’s a weak, short-period groundswell with a cross-off wind from the NNE. Not worth paddling out for.
Through the first week, it’s more of the same – tiny swell, often under 3 ft, from the N or NNE, with periods dropping as low as 5 to 6 seconds. These are short, weak wind swells that won’t wrap in properly. Winds stay cross-off or cross, which at least keeps the surface clean, but you can’t ride what’s not there.
Around Wednesday the 12th of August, the swell starts to nudge up to 3 – 4 ft from the N, with periods creeping to 8 seconds. The combined energy bumps into the 100s and then the 200s, but it’s still poor. The wind picks up to a fresh breeze, and by the afternoons you’re looking at a lumpy cross-chop. This is more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddler’s dream.
From Thursday the 14th of August into the following week, we finally see swell holding around 5 ft to 5 ft from the N and NNE, with periods at 7-8 seconds. Still too short to be proper groundswell, and with winds gusting up to 22 mph, it’s messy. The combined energy tops out at 310 on the 15th, but the wave comment is still “poor surf conditions.” For a reef break like Spew Pits, that’s just not the green light.
There are no standouts here. No surf worth even a mention. It’s a long, flat, and windy stretch ahead. Hang in there – forecasts can change, but right now, leave the board in the car.

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.
