The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk about Spew Pits. This is a reef break for experts only, and it’s consistent, so you won’t see a total flat spell. But this forecast is a mixed bag, and the wind is the main character. It’s blowing from the north to north-northeast for most of the run, putting it cross-off or cross-shore, and it’s often a fresh breeze, so there’s plenty of texture on the water. The swell direction is mostly from the north, which is not the ideal direction for this spot, but it’s close enough to get some size.
The water temperature is 73°, which is normal for the time of year.
The first real chance is Saturday, July 25th. There’s a 7ft swell from the north, with a combined energy of 457, which is moderate. The period is short at 8 seconds, so it’s a bit of a close-out, not a lot of push. The wind is a cross-off at 35 km/h, so it’s clean but strong. This is over 5ft, so it’s too big for beginners. For an expert, it’s workable, but that wind is a handful.
The surf hangs around through the weekend. Sunday, the 26th, has 6ft, still from the north, and the wind is still strong. Energy drops to 415. It’s punchy but the wind is a constant battle. By Monday, the 27th, the swell is down to 5ft, energy at 230. It’s cleaner but weaker.
There’s a real lull in the middle of the week. From Wednesday, July 29th, through to Friday, August 1st, the swell drops off a cliff. Wednesday morning has only 3ft at 6 seconds, energy of 130, and it just gets smaller. Thursday morning is 1ft. Friday is 4ft but with a short period. It’s weak.
Then things pick up again around August 4th. Tuesday afternoon on the 4th sees a jump to 5ft from the north, energy of 351. The wind is cross-off at 30 km/h, so it’s clean. The growth continues through the 5th, with 6ft and energy climbing to 379. But the wind is still north, 30 km/h, and by the afternoon it’s cross-shore with lumpy chop.
The best looking window is Thursday, August 6th. The morning shows 6ft from the north, with a combined energy of 516, the strongest in the whole forecast. The period is 8 seconds, so it’s a short-period groundswell, but with that energy, there’s some punch. The wind is cross-off at 25 km/h, so it’s clean. That’s the standout. The swell is over 5ft, so it’s for experts only.
Through the end of the forecast, the surf stays around 5ft to 5ft, but the wind is persistent. August 9th has a morning with 5ft and clean conditions, but the energy is moderate at 303. It’s a runner-up, but nothing beats that Thursday morning.
So, if you’re an expert and can handle a strong north wind, Thursday, August 6th is the pick. The size is there, the energy is there, and it’s clean. The rest of the period is a grind of similar conditions, either too windy or too small. There’s a gap of a few days from July 29th to August 1st where the surf is too small to bother with.
