The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s happening at Spew Pits. This is a heavy, expert-only reef break, and it’s consistent. The water temp is sitting at 74°, which is pretty much spot on for this time of year, so no drama there.
The forecast starts with a bit of a slow warm-up. Wednesday and Thursday (9th and 10th) are a write-off – the wind is howling from the north-northeast, and the swell is a weak, short-period 4ft, all cross-off and messy. You’d be better off staying home. Friday and Saturday (11th and 12th) see the swell bump up to 4ft and 5ft, but it’s still a short-period N windswell, and the cross-shore wind is going to butcher it. The combined energy jumps around, but with that fresh breeze creating lumpy cross-chop, it’s not worth a paddle.
Here’s where it gets interesting. Sunday morning, the 13th, the wind drops to a gentle breeze, going cross-offshore, and the swell cleans up to a nice 5ft from the north. It’s not huge, but it’s clean. The real standout is Monday morning, the 14th of September. The wind turns glassy from the southwest, and we get a pulse of longer-period groundswell from the NNW at 2ft with a 13-second period. The combined energy is still solid. That glassy surface on a long-period groundswell at a reef setup? That’s the session to circle.
Tuesday (15th) is serviceable but nothing special, with small 2ft NNW swell. Then there’s a long, dry gap. From Wednesday the 16th all the way through to Saturday the 19th, it’s a desert – small, weak, and blown out by fresh north-northeast winds. Don’t even bother.
Things start to stir again on Sunday the 20th. The swell jumps to 6ft from the north-northeast, and the afternoon delivers a clean, moderate offshore wind from the east-northeast. The combined energy hits 366. That’s a proper session. Monday the 21st keeps it going with a fresh offshore from the ESE and 5ft to 5ft clean swell. Then Tuesday the 22nd looks like the big one in the long-range: a 6ft NNE swell with a combined energy of 638 to 718. It’s cross-offshore wind, and the wave state is clean. That’s a powerful, meaty day at the reef, but it’s only for experts at that size.
The last few days of the window (23rd and 24th) settle back into that 4ft to 5ft range with offshore winds, offering clean, fun waves to wrap things up.
The pick of the entire forecast is Monday morning, the 14th of September – that glassy, long-period, offshores combo is a gift. Next best is Sunday the 20th and Tuesday the 22nd for the bigger, cleaner power.
Rusty.
