Table - best surf conditions forecast for Spew Pits over the next 16 days.
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with it: this forecast for Spew Pits is a rough one. The whole 16-day block is tagged as poor surf conditions, and there isn’t a single session where I’d tell you to rush down. It’s a consistent reef break that needs a specific NNW swell and clean offshore winds to fire, and we just aren’t getting that combo in any meaningful way. The water temp is sitting at 72°, which is about normal for this time of year, so at least you won’t be freezing while you stare at flat lines.
We kick off Wednesday, July 8th with tiny 0.7 ft swell from the WNW, period of 8 seconds, and a light 9 mph cross-offshore breeze from the NNE. The combined energy is weak at 14 – there’s nothing to ride. That sets the tone for the next few days. Thursday and Friday the 9th and 10th see the swell nudge up to 3-3 ft from the north, but the period stays short at 5 seconds, and energy only reaches 57-58 – still hopeless. Saturday the 11th drops back to 1.0 ft, and Sunday the 12th bumps up to 3 ft from the NNW with a slightly better 8-second period and moderate energy around 163, but the wind is cross or cross-off, never truly offshore, and the wave comment is still “poor surf conditions.”
Monday the 13th through Wednesday the 22nd of July sees a gradual increase in swell, peaking around 6 ft from the north on Tuesday the 21st and Wednesday the 22nd, with period hovering at 7-8 seconds. The energy climbs into the 200-400 range, so there’s some push there, but the wind stays cross-off from the NNE at 19-22 mph, and every single record says “poor surf conditions.” With 6 ft swell and choppy cross-shore winds, this setup is more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. It’s a beach-and-reef break, so when the swell gets over 5 ft with messy wind and average period, it’s not going to shape up well for a normal surfer. On Thursday the 23rd, it’s still 6 ft from the north with similar conditions – no standout, no clean window.
Look, there’s nothing to get excited about here. If you’ve got a kite, keep an eye on the 21st-23rd for some wind action, but for a paddle board, this is a blank run that’s pretty normal for a spot that needs everything to line up. Forecasts can change, but right now, don’t bother.
