The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s cooking at Spew Pits.
Honestly, this is a rough stretch. The north swell is pushing through, but the wind is just wrecking it. For the first ten days, it’s a steady fresh breeze out of the north-northeast or north, keeping it cross-off or cross. The waves are labelled as poor surf conditions. The energy is moderate, from 204 on Wednesday up to 552 on Sunday, so there’s power, but it’s ugly.
Water temp is 72°F – about normal for the season.
The one real bright spot is Saturday morning, August 1st. The wind drops to a light breeze from the northeast at 6 mph, and it’s cross-off. The swell is 5ft from the north with a period of 8 seconds, and the energy is 248. The forecast says “expect good surf conditions” – that’s your window. This is a consistent reef break, and crowds are sometimes here, so you might share it. This is the pick.
After that Saturday morning, it goes downhill. Sunday the 2nd still has 5ft north swell, but the wind turns cross with a moderate breeze, and the energy spikes to 501 in the afternoon – heavy but messy. By Monday the 3rd and Tuesday the 4th, the swell drops to 3ft and then 3ft, with energy falling to 115 and 87. Weak.
Wednesday, August 5th sees a shift to a west-northwest swell with a 10-second period, but it’s only 2ft. Not enough.
Thursday, August 6th brings a 3ft north swell with a longer 11-second period. The morning is clean with a cross-off wind and energy at 261. It’s tagged as marginal, but worth a look if you’re keen. The wind picks up later.
So, mark your calendar for Saturday, August 1st. That’s your best bet. Otherwise, it’s a lean couple of weeks.
Rusty.

Information about the Spew Pits Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Spew Pits provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Spew Pits can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Spew Pits surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Spew Pits) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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.
