The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it for our local zone.
We’re looking at a tough run ahead at Spew Pits. The truth is, the next week and a half is pretty much a write-off. The swell is small, the wind is mostly cross or cross-off from the north, and the energy just isn’t there. Most days get tagged with “poor surf conditions,” so don’t expect much.
The water’s sitting at 73°, which is about a degree and a half warmer than usual for this time of year – nothing too wild, but a touch balmy.
For you experts out there with patience, there’s a glimmer right at the tail end. Around Monday the 10th of August, we finally see the swell push up to 7 ft from the north, with the combined energy hitting a solid 537 (moderate to strong). The period is a short 8 seconds though, so it’ll be a bit fat and racy as a beach break. The wind stays cross-off in the morning, so the surface will be clean, but the short period will make it a bit dumpy. By Tuesday the 11th, it’s still 7 ft north, with energy at 574, but the wind goes cross-shore, bringing a chop. It’s heavy, expert-only territory over 5 ft, so if you’re not solid, sit this one out.
Honestly, this is the window. Spew Pits is consistent and exposed to the north, so if the swell direction lines up with that optimum NNW, it happens. But this isn’t a standout session – it’s a marginal call for the brave. The rest of the period is a hard pass.
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.
