The Lowdown
G’day, it’s Rusty. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up at Spew Pits over the next couple of weeks. Straight up, it’s a tough run. This is an exposed reef setup that only works when everything lines up, and for most of this outlook, it just doesn’t. There’s a lot of cross and cross-off wind, and the swell is small and messy. The water temp is sitting at 75°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
We kick off on Saturday the 5th of September with a tiny 3 ft north swell, period a weak 5 seconds. Combined swell energy is only 85, so there’s barely any push. Northerly cross-off wind at 15 mph keeps the surface clean but it’s just not enough to make it worthwhile. That afternoon stays similar – 3 ft north, 6 seconds, 96 energy – and still a write-off. Sunday the 6th sees a slight bump to 4 ft north, but the wind swings cross and kicks up a lumpy cross-chop. Energy climbs to 180, but the surf quality is poor. Monday the 7th morning offers a 2 ft NNW groundswell with a 12-second period and 309 energy, and cross-off wind – that’s a clean look, but the size is too small for this exposed reef to really fire. It’s marginal at best.
Tuesday the 8th through to Friday the 11th are all similar: waist-high north and north-northeast swell, periods between 7 and 8 seconds, and moderate to fresh cross-off or cross winds. Combined energy sits between 169 and 396, but the wind and small size mean these are all poor surf conditions. Saturday the 12th and Sunday the 13th don’t improve – still small, still cross-off, and not worth the paddle.
Monday the 14th of September morning finally shows something surfable – 3 ft north at 8 seconds, cross-off wind from the NNE at 6 mph, energy of 155. It’s clean but very ordinary. Tuesday the 15th morning is the real standout of the whole outlook. We get glassy conditions with a WNW breeze at 3 mph, and a 2 ft NNW groundswell with a 10-second period. Energy is only 118, so it’s small, but glassy conditions at Spew Pits are rare and precious. This is the one session to keep an eye on.
Wednesday the 16th of September morning brings a 2 ft NW groundswell, 14-second period, and 269 energy with light ENE cross-off wind. The forecast says “expect good surf conditions” – that’s the highest praise we get in this entire run. Clean, long-period groundswell, small but promising. That afternoon the wind picks up and it goes marginal.
Thursday the 17th of September morning sees the biggest swell of the outlook – 6 ft north at 8 seconds, 684 energy – but it’s cross-off wind and still only rated marginal. That afternoon and into Friday the 18th the swell holds around 6 ft but the wind goes cross and the energy drops, so it’s messy. From Saturday the 19th onward it fades back to small, weak, and onshore. The run from Sunday the 20th is a dead loss.
So, if you’re after a wave, the glassy window on Tuesday the 15th morning is the best of a bad lot. The Wednesday the 16th morning also offers a clean, long-period groundswell that could surprise. Everything else is either too small, too windy, or too messy. Spew Pits is an expert reef that needs everything to click, and this 16-day stretch just doesn’t deliver.

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.
