The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ at Spew Pits.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – the first week and a bit is a total write-off for any kind of decent paddle. We’re talking from Wednesday the 26th of August right through to Tuesday the 8th of September, the surf quality is just poor. You’ll see small, weak, short-period windswell pushing in from the north, mostly around 2ft to 6ft, but the wind is a constant problem – solid fresh breezes from the north-northeast, never truly offshore, giving us nothing but messy or at best average conditions. The combined swell energy gets up there, hitting 903 on the Saturday the 29th, but with that wind and a period of 11 seconds, it’s just too raw and lumpy to be any fun for a paddle surfer. Honestly, this early stretch looks way more interesting for the kite crew.
If you’re patient, there’s a glimmer. Things finally start to shape up on Tuesday the 8th of September. The morning session is the only standout in this whole 16-day outlook. The wind drops right out to a gentle breeze from the north-northeast, going cross-offshore, which will leave the surface glassy and clean. The swell holds steady at 4ft from the north with an 8-second period, pushing a moderate 349 combined energy (moderate wave energy). It’s not a bomb, but after all that wind, clean waves at Spew Pits are a gift. Keep your expectations in check, though – this is a heavy, expert-only reef break, and it’s consistent, but even on a good day it’s not for the faint-hearted. There’s no water temperature data here, so nothing to say on that front.
The rest of that second week fades back into mediocrity. The Wednesday morning the 9th goes small and cross-shore, and the Thursday the 10th is light but crossed up again. So lock in that Tuesday morning, because that’s your one real chance to surf something half decent.
Rusty.
