The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s cut to the chase. Lookin’ at the 16-day window, we’ve got a pretty grim run ahead. The only break on the radar is Spew Pits, and honestly, this ain’t a time to get excited. The whole period is dominated by a persistent, fresh NNE wind that just won’t let up, keeping the surface messy and the quality poor. The best you can say is there’s a lot of energy in the water, but it’s a total washout for paddle surfing.
The first real chance to even *think* about paddling out doesn’t come until Monday, August 3rd, and even then it’s a hard sell. For the first week and a half, from the 23rd of July right through to the 2nd of August, the surf is labelled as poor. The wind is a constant cross-off or cross shore, blowing 15 to 25 mph. Swell hangs around 4 ft to 6 ft from the north, with a short, weak period of 7 to 8 seconds. The combined energy is moderate to strong, hitting 486 (moderate wave energy) on the 26th, but it’s a messy, churned-up ocean. That’s not a lineup for a surfboard; that’s a kite-surfing setup if you’re into that.
The first mention of anything *marginal* pops up on Monday, August 3rd. The morning session shows a small 3 ft swell from the NNW, period climbing to 10 seconds, and the wind going cross-off. The combined energy reads 247 (moderate wave energy). It’s clean, but it’s tiny. By the afternoon, it’s back to poor conditions. Then Tuesday, August 4th morning offers a similar story: 4 ft from the north, 9 second period, clean with cross-off wind, and energy at 225 (moderate wave energy). It’s the best of a bad bunch, but it’s still a weak option.
Look, Spew Pits is a consistent expert reef break that loves a NNW swell, but this forecast is a test of patience. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing to write home about. The standout window, if you can call it that, is the morning of Monday the 3rd and Tuesday the 4th. It’s not going to be epic, but it’s the only time the ocean looks like it might cooperate. Otherwise, it’s a long, boring wait. Keep your eye on the sky, ‘cause the forecast can change, but right now, I’d find something else to do.
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.
