The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – it’s a grim start. We’re looking at a solid run of flat, poor-quality conditions that drags on for nearly two full weeks. From now until the 12th of August, there’s just nothing worth paddling out for. The swell is tiny, the wind is mostly cross or cross-off, and the energy is weak. It’s a real bummer.
The first flicker of life shows up on the morning of Wednesday the 13th. Spew Pits is the only game in town, and it’s a tough one. We’ve got a 4ft swell from the north, with a short period of 7 seconds. The wind is a clean cross-off from the NNE, which is good, but the wave energy is moderate (257). The forecast calls it marginal, and honestly, for a reef break that’s only for experts, it’s a bit of a tease. The water temp is sitting around 73°, which is about normal for this time of year, so the rubber won’t feel too thick.
Things start to ramp up towards the end of the week. By Friday the 15th, the swell is building. Saturday morning the 15th is the standout. We’re looking at 6ft of north swell, still a short period at 9 seconds, but the energy is strong (701). The wind is a clean cross-off from the NNE, so the conditions should be pretty good. The size is getting into that “experts only” territory, and Spew Pits is a reef, so you need to know what you’re doing. It’s consistent, which is a bonus, but it can get crowded sometimes.
The run continues into the 16th with a solid 6ft north swell, but the wind is picking up to 19 mph, staying cross-off, so it’ll still be clean but a bit more of a battle. The water will still be about average for the season.
So, to sum it up: the first 12 days are a total write-off. The only real window is from the 13th onward, and the absolute best bet is the morning of Saturday the 15th. It’s a proper, heavy wave for experienced surfers only. Don’t get too excited about the long-range – it’s promising, but we’ve got a few days to see if it holds.
Stay patient.
Rusty.
