Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what we’ve got coming up at Spew Pits.
Honestly, looking over the whole 16-day window, it’s a bit of a grim stretch. We’re looking at a long, dry spell with very little to get excited about. The first standout won't come until late in the run, so you might want to plan around that if you’re desperate for a wave.
First up, we’ve got a shot on Friday, July 3rd. Swell is a modest 5ft from the North with a period of 9 seconds, and while the energy is moderate (335), the wind is a cross-shore from the NNW at 15 km/h. It’s rideable, but the forecast is calling it marginal with questionable tide conditions, so it's not a lock. The water temp is sitting at 71°, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so nothing weird there.
Then, from Saturday, July 4th right through to Friday, July 17th, it's pretty much game over. We’ve got a solid 13 days where the conditions just aren't working. The swell drops off, the wind is mostly cross or cross-onshore, and the energy stays weak. We see numbers like 66, 40, and even down to 15 in that period. The wind can get fresh, hitting 18 to 22 mph at times, but it never lines up right. For a reef break like Spew Pits, you need the combo to click, and it just doesn’t. If you’re a kiter, you might find some fun on those blustery days, but for us paddle surfers, it’s a no-go.
Now, here’s the one true standout. The run from Monday, July 13th through to the morning of Thursday, July 16th actually shows some promise. The swell picks up to a consistent 4ft to 4ft from the North and NNW, and the period stretches from 7 to 10 seconds. The combined energy climbs well into the moderate-to-strong range, hitting 320 and 351 on Tuesday and Wednesday. That’s the strongest we see across the whole forecast.
But, and this is a big but, the wind is mostly cross-off from the NNE, which is clean. However, the swell direction is North, and the optimum direction for Spew Pits is NNW. So while there’s more push, it’s not hitting the reef perfectly. These are expert-level waves at the best of times, and with the swell running at 4ft, it’s still manageable for the experienced crew, but not for learners. The best windows will be the mornings of the 14th, 15th, and 16th. Just be aware, crowds are sometimes an issue here, so you won’t be the only one with the idea.
After that, the wave energy fades quickly heading into the weekend of July 18th, with energy dropping to 37 on the Saturday afternoon. So that’s your window. It’s a long wait, but there’s a glimmer of hope around the 14th to 16th.
Rusty.

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.
