Table - best surf conditions forecast for Spew Pits over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it. We’ve got a 16-day outlook for the region, and honestly, it’s a tough one. The first real shot at anything surfable doesn’t show up until the very end of the run, so there’s a long dry spell before that.
Looking at the whole picture, we’re staring down a stretch of poor surf conditions for the vast majority of the forecast. The wave energy is weak, and the wind is a persistent problem. For the first couple of weeks, from July 13th right through to July 27th, the swell is small, mostly under 3 ft, with combined energy figures struggling to get past the low 200s (reaching 287 at one point). The wind is locked in from the NNE to N, blowing in the 12 to 22 mph range, creating a constant cross-off or cross wind. Even though the wave state is often described as "clean," the wind is too strong and the swell is too weak to make it worthwhile. For a spot like Spew Pits, which is a reef setup, it’s going to be a frustrating grind.
The only glimpse of hope comes right at the tail end. On the morning of July 28th (Tuesday), we see a little bump. The swell pushes up to 5 ft from the north, with a period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy hits 287. The wind is a moderate cross-off from the NNE at 16 mph, which is the best we’ve seen in a while. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing unusual. This is the standout, but it’s only a “marginal” call. It’s not a classic, but it’s all we’ve got. It’s a reef break, so the long period swell isn’t a factor here, but the size is manageable for experienced surfers.
That’s the long and short of it. A long wait for a very short window of slightly less poor surf. Keep your eyes on the forecasts, but for now, focus on the gear maintenance.
Rusty.
