The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty, and I’ve got the lowdown on Spew Pits for the next couple of weeks. Honestly, it’s a slow start, with only one real moment that’s worth your time, and that’s a ways off.
The first surf shows up on Sunday, September 6th, but it’s a stinker. Sunday morning has a 4ft north swell, but it’s a short period of 6 seconds, with a fresh 19 mph north cross-off wind. The combined swell energy is 163 (weak), and the water is 75°, which is normal for this time of year. Conditions are poor, and it’s not worth it. Sunday afternoon is worse with a 22 mph north cross wind and lumpy cross-chop.
Monday the 7th sees a drop to 2ft from the NNW, but the period jumps to 12 seconds – that’s a proper groundswell. The wind is a moderate 16 mph NNE cross-off, and the energy is moderate at 353. The wave comment says marginal, and it only scores a 1, so it’s clean but weak. Monday afternoon is similar with 2ft from the NW, 13-second period, and cross-chop.
Tuesday the 8th through Friday the 11th is the same story: 3ft to 5ft north or NW swells, short periods of 7-8 seconds, and consistent cross-off or cross winds at 16-19 mph. Energy varies from weak to moderate (173 to 348), but it’s all poor. There’s a gap of several days with no real recommendations – just messy surf.
Saturday the 12th and Sunday the 13th are more of the same: 3ft to 5ft north swells, short periods, and moderate to light breezes. Sunday morning the 13th is the first time we see a “surfable but ordinary” comment, with a 3ft north swell, 8-second period, and a 9 mph NNE cross-off. The energy is weak at 164, but the wind is lighter. Still not a standout.
Now, Monday the 14th of September is the one. Monday morning has a 2ft swell from the NNW, but with a 13-second period – that’s a long period groundswell, meaning better shaped waves. The wind is a light 9 mph NE cross-off, and the combined swell energy is 205 (moderate). The wave comment says “expect good surf conditions,” and it scores a 2. Monday afternoon is even better: 2ft from the NNW, 12-second period, and a light 6 mph north cross-off. The energy is 265 (moderate), and it’s clean. The swell direction is NNW, which matches the optimum for Spew Pits (NNW). This is your window. Spew Pits is an expert reef break, consistent, but crowds can show up sometimes. With that clean, light wind and a long period groundswell, it’s going to be quality – long period swells like this are best at reefs, so you’re in luck.
After that, it drops off. Tuesday the 15th through Monday the 21st is all poor surf with tiny 1ft to 2ft swells, short to moderate periods, and cross-off or cross winds. Energy levels are weak (51 to 194), and there’s nothing worth chasing. The second week is a bust.
So, there’s a long, flat gap until Monday the 14th, then a brief, clean window with a nice long period groundswell. That Monday is your best bet – aim for the afternoon for the lightest wind. After that, it’s quiet again. Don’t stress, though – it never stays flat forever.
Rusty.

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.
