Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break it down. We’ve got one spot to talk about for this whole 16-day run, and it’s a bit of a slow burn.
The spot is Spew Pits, a reef break that loves a NNW swell. Water temp is about normal for the time of year, nothing weird going on there.
The first week is a total dud. From Tuesday the 7th right through to the morning of Wednesday the 15th, the swell is tiny, mostly under 3 feet, with short, weak periods. The combined energy is weak, barely getting into triple digits (26 – 59). Winds are cross or cross-off from the north, but with no swell it’s just a flat, choppy mess. There’s a tiny bump on Sunday the 12th morning with a longer 11-second period and energy up to 140, but it’s still only 2 feet – a longboard wave at best. Then it’s back to nothing.
Things finally wake up around Thursday the 16th. Swell builds to 5 feet from the NNE, but with a short 7-second period. The energy jumps into the moderate range (204-215), and mornings are clean with a cross-off breeze. It’s not perfect – the short period makes it a bit soft and dumpy – but it’s the first real sign of life.
The window I’d point to is Saturday the 18th through Monday the 20th. We get a consistent run of 6 to 6 feet of swell from the NNE, with wave energy getting strong (322 to 378). Mornings are clean with a steady cross-off wind. This is expert territory. At that size on a reef, it’s going to be powerful and fast. The period is still short (7 seconds), so expect steep, hollow drops and short walls. Not a wave for the faint of heart. Crowds are "sometimes," so on a clean morning you might have it reasonably quiet, but it’s a proper session for the experienced crew.
After that, the swell drops back to 4 to 5 feet through Wednesday the 22nd, still clean in the mornings, but the energy settles back to moderate (218-286). Still a decent option for the locals.
So the takeaway: nothing worth paddling for until Thursday the 16th. The standout, the one to aim for, is Saturday the 18th to Monday the 20th. Big, heavy, expert-only reef waves at Spew Pits. If you’re not comfortable in the overhead range on a shallow reef, give it a miss. For those who are – get after it.
Rusty.

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.
