The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's break down what's cooking at Spew Pits.
So, this is an expert reef, consistent and exposed. Water temp is about 74°, which is dead average for this time of year.
Honestly, the next week and a half is looking pretty bleak. From Tuesday the 8th through Saturday the 12th, the wind is either cross or cross-off, and it's blowing at a decent clip. The swell is small and gutless, with combined energy mostly in the 100-300 range. It's just poor or marginal conditions day after day. Not worth getting wet.
Then on Sunday the 13th morning, we finally get a break. The wind drops to a light breeze and turns cross-off. The swell is a tiny 4ft from the North with an 8-second period. The combined energy is 236, which is moderate, but it's the cleanest we're going to see. That light wind is a big deal – it's going to make the surface glassy. The size is manageable, but remember, this is an expert reef, so it's not a beginner spot. You might bump into a few others since crowds are sometimes a factor.
After that, it's back to the grind. We get a glimmer on Monday the 14th with a 13-second groundswell from the NNW, but it's only 2ft. That long period on a reef can shape up some nice lines, but it's just too small to surf.
The best bet in the whole 16-day window is Sunday the 13th morning. It's the one clean window with anything rideable. Everything else is a solid pass. The swell energy drops into the weak, two-digit range from the 16th onwards, so don't hold your breath.
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.

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.
