The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at the charts for Spew Pits.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough run. We’re looking at a 16-day window, and honestly, there isn’t one day where I’d tell you to load up the boards. The whole thing is a write-off for quality surf. From July 29th all the way through to August 13th, every single session is coming back as poor surf conditions. That’s a solid two-week blank.
The water’s sitting at 73°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – feels nice in the sun, I guess, but it won’t save the waves.
The first bit, starting Wednesday the 29th, we’ve got tiny swell – just 1.0 ft from the NNW with a short 10-second period. The combined swell energy is weak at 41. Wind is a fresh 19 mph cross-off, so it looks clean, but there’s just no power behind it.
As we roll into the end of July and the start of August, the swell bumps up to around 3 ft to 4 ft, mostly from the N and NNE, but the period is sitting at a measly 6 to 7 seconds. The energy climbs into the moderate range – you’ll see numbers like 157, 179, 204 – but it’s all wind-swell junk. The wind stays a fresh cross-off much of the time, so it’s clean, but the waves have no shape or push. It’s the kind of surf that looks better from the car park.
Later on, around August 9th, the swell actually gets bigger – 5 ft from the N, with energy jumping up to 297. That’s moderate to strong energy (297), but it’s still coming in at a short 6 to 7 seconds. The wind is a fresh 22 mph cross-off. For a reef break like Spew Pits that needs the right direction, this north-northeast wind swell with no proper period isn’t going to do it. It’s clean, sure, but it’s just not surfable in any meaningful way. And at 5 ft, that’s too big for beginners anyway.
The whole 16-day stretch is a bust. This is a spot that’s consistent, so it’s rare to see such a long run of poor conditions. But sometimes the ocean just shuts down like this – the angles aren’t lining up, the period is gone, and the wind, while not howling onshore, is never the light offshore that makes this reef properly sing. This setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
Keep an eye on it, though. Forecasts can change, and this spot can fire when it gets a proper swell from the NNW with some real period behind it. Right now, it's a no-go.
Stay tuned, and I’ll let you know if anything shifts.
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.
