The Lowdown
Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on offer. The only spot in the mix is Spew Pits, a proper expert-only reef break. The whole 16-day stretch is a bit of a write-off, honestly. There’s a massive gap of nothing but poor surf from the start, right through to the second week, with only a couple of days that even get a 'marginal' nod. You’re looking at a long wait for anything that might be worth a paddle.
The first real flicker of hope comes on Saturday the 1st of August. The morning is still cross-shore and messy, but by the afternoon, the wind eases to a moderate breeze from the NNE, giving us a clean, cross-off wind. The swell is 4ft from the north, but it’s a short period of 7 seconds, so it’s not got much grunt. The combined energy of all swells is moderate (206). Honestly, it’s still marginal, and the tide has to be right. The water temp is about 73°, which is just a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
The next chance is Wednesday the 5th of August. The morning session sees a clean 5ft north swell, with a similar short period of 7 seconds, but the combined energy jumps to a strong 324. Again, marginal. The wind is a clean cross-off from the NNE, so it’s rideable, but that short period means the waves won’t be the best shape. This is a very inconsistent spot for a reason, so don’t drive for it.
Thursday the 6th of August morning is another marginal call, with a clean 5ft north swell (8-second period, moderate energy of 335). The wind is a clean cross-off from the NNE. That’s about the best of it.
After that, it’s back to poor surf for the rest of the run. The swell gets a bit bigger, hitting 6ft on the 8th and 9th of August, but the wind is always cross or cross-off, and the wave comments are consistently poor. The energy gets up there – 430 on the morning of the 8th – but it’s just not clean enough for a reef that demands perfection. That’s good for kite surfers, not paddle surfers.
So, the standout, if you can call it that, is the afternoon of the 1st of August for the cleaner conditions, or the morning of the 5th of August for the slightly bigger swell. Both are marginal, though. The rest is a long, dry spell.
