Right then, let’s have a look at what’s cookin’. To be straight with ya, this stretch is a bit of a head-scratcher. The only game in town, and I mean the *only* spot that popped up, is Spew Pits. It’s an expert-level reef break, and it’s consistent, which is a plus. But for the first week and a half, the surf just isn’t there. We’re looking at a real dry spell from now, through the 6th of July and all the way up to the 11th and beyond. The swell is tiny, mostly below 2 ft, and coming straight out of the north. The combined swell energy is weak, mostly under 100, so there’s just no push. The wind is a mix of cross and cross-off, which keeps things clean on the mornings, but without any real swell, it’s flat. The only mention of water temp is a dash, so no anomaly to report.
Now, the action finally starts to stir around the 12th of July. We start to see the combined energy creep up – hitting 117 on the Sunday morning, 190 in the arvo, and then consistently into the 200s and beyond from the 13th. The swell lifts to about 4 ft on the Monday (13th) but it’s still not great quality. The wind stays mostly cross-off in the mornings, which is clean, but the swell direction is NNW to N and the period is short, around 8 seconds. It’s not the kind of groundswell that gets you frothing, but the energy is there – it’s moderate now.
The standout window, for all its flaws, starts on the 17th of July. The swell bumps up to 5 ft from the north, and the combined energy is really pumping – 258 on Friday morning (17th), jumping to 291 on Saturday morning (18th), and maxing out at 342 on Sunday afternoon (19th). That’s strong wave energy. However, it’s a big caveat: at 5 ft to 6 ft, this is getting into expert-only territory, especially for a reef break. The period is short, around 7-8 seconds, so it’s not a long, drawn-out groundswell. The wind on these mornings is a clean cross-off from the NNE, which is a major positive, but the afternoons get a lumpy cross-chop from the north. This is a spot that’s exposed to the swell and the wind, and it’s already a heavy reef. With swell over 5 ft, beginners should sit this out. For the experts, the mornings from the 17th to the 19th of July are the best on offer, but it’s not a classic. It’s more of a powerful, punchy north swell on a reef. The crowds are listed as “sometimes”, so you might have a few people, but it’s not likely to be packed. The optimum direction is NNW, and the swell is coming from the north, so it’s close but a bit off.
So, to sum it up: a long, boring flat spell, then a window of real, powerful, but messy north swell at a gnarly reef. If you’re an expert, the mornings of the 17th, 18th, and 19th of July are your only real look. It’s not the classic clean groundswell you dream of, but it’s the only thing on the menu.

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.
