The Lowdown
Alright, surfers, Rusty here. We’re looking at a rare stretch for Spew Pits. To be straight with you, this whole 16-day window is a tough one. There isn’t a single standout session that I’d be racing for. The water temperature is currently a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 74°F.
Let’s run through it. Starting from Monday the 10th of August, the northwest swell is there, but it’s weak and the wind is a fresh 19 mph from the NNE, which is cross-offshore. It’s clean, but the wave energy is only 159 and the swell is a short 6-second period with a height of just 4 ft. It’s just not doing it for me. We have a solid gap of days with nothing worth recommending through to the morning of Sunday the 23rd of August. That’s nearly two weeks of poor surf conditions. The wind stays onshore or cross-shore for most of it, and the swell direction is almost always N or NNE, which isn't the optimum for this spot.
There is a very slight uptick in energy and size on the morning of Sunday the 23rd of August. The swell bumps up to 5 ft from the north with an 8-second period, and the energy hits 353 (moderate energy). The 16 mph NNE wind keeps it clean. But at 5 ft, it's still not particularly big and the wind is moderate, not light. For a break like this that’s consistent and for experts only, it’s just average.
The biggest pulse of energy comes a few days later on the morning of the 25th of August. But we get a long-period groundswell of 14 seconds from the west-northwest and an energy reading of 259. The problem is the swell height is only 2 ft. A long-period swell that small is a tease. It’s also coming from WNW, which is a good direction for here, and the wind is clean, but the size is just too small to make it worthwhile, especially on a reef break that needs a bit more push.
Overall, I can’t point to a single day and say “go”. There are a few mornings that are clean, but the waves are either too small, too weak, or the wind is too strong to create anything memorable. For the experts who know this place, it might be worth a paddle on the 23rd morning or the 25th morning, but keep expectations low. The forecast can always change, but right now, it’s a period to maybe give the board a wax and wait.
Rusty.
