The Lowdown
Alright, listen up. Rusty here. Let's talk about Spew Pits.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – for the next ten days or so, it’s pretty grim. This is a stretch where the surf is just sad. From Tuesday the 14th all the way through to Wednesday the 22nd of July, you’re looking at a long, frustrating gap with nothing worth paddling out for. The swell is tiny, the period is short, and the wind is a pain. The wave energy is pathetic, barely registering at 82 or less early on, and even when it climbs a bit the quality stays rotten. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, so that’s not your problem.
Now, keep your eyes peeled for the tail end of the run. Things start to look a little more interesting around Thursday the 23rd of July. That morning, the swell builds to 5.6 ft from the north, with a period of 8 seconds. The wave energy jumps to a moderate 349, and the wind is a cross-off from the north at 16 mph, which means clean walls. It’s still just a marginal call, but it’s the first real glimmer of hope. The swell is a bit meaty, so it’s not for beginners, but for the experienced crew, it’s something to watch.
Then we get to the real standout. Look at Tuesday the 28th of July. That’s the one to mark on your calendar. The swell is pushing 6.2 ft from the north, with a 9-second period. The combined energy is way up there at 744 (moderate to strong). The wind stays cross-off from the NNE at 19 mph, so the face should be clean. This is the pick of the whole forecast. It’s still a week and a half out, so the long-range call, but the setup is promising. The swell matches the optimum direction for this reef (NNW), and with that size, it’ll be a proper, powerful wave. Just know that crowds are possible here, so get in early. The 6.2 ft is solid expert territory.
Wednesday the 29th keeps the energy up at 581 with 5.6 ft and clean conditions, but Tuesday is the day. The rest of that second week is mostly a write-off, with lumpy cross-shore winds ruining the shape. Focus on that Tuesday the 28th.
