The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let's get into it.

First up, this is a tough stretch for Spew Pits. The whole 16-day window is a real struggle, and honestly, I wouldn't bother paddling out for the first ten days. The wind is relentless, coming from the north and north-northeast at 18 to 22 mph, mostly cross-off, but it's just too strong to give you anything decent. The swell is small to moderate, between 3 ft and 6 ft, but it's short-period, around 6 to 8 seconds, which means it's all wind-slop, not real groundswell. The combined energy sits in the low to moderate range (values between 104 and 349), but that doesn't matter when the wind is tearing it up. The water temperature is 73°F which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that's the only highlight.

We've got a solid 10-day gap from the start of the forecast until late July before things even get a little interesting. The 27th of July through to the 28th of July sees a jump in size, with swell heights hitting 7 ft to 8 ft, and the period lengthening to 9 to 10 seconds. The combined energy spikes up to a strong 983 (27th July morning) and 978 (27th July afternoon), so there's real power in the water. But the wind is still a problem – it's a fresh cross-off at best, and the afternoon winds create lumpy cross-chop. The forecast calls it "marginal" or "poor," and it's really only for experts. The swell is from the north, not the ideal northwest for this reef, so it won't be at its best. On the 28th, it's similar, with swell around 7 ft to 8 ft and energy in the 700 to 900 range, but it's still a cross-off wind. This is expert-only stuff, and even then, it's a scrappy session.

The best chance we get is right at the very end, on the 30th of July (Thursday morning). The swell drops to 4 ft from the north, with a combined energy of 226, but the wind switches to the east at 12 mph, and crucially, it's offshore. That's a major positive. The water should be clean and lined up. The break is a consistent reef, so it will handle the north swell okay, but it's not the perfect direction. It's a small window of quality, and you'll want to be on it early. The 31st of July has a similar offshore flow, but the swell is smaller, around 3 ft, and the energy is weaker, so it's a "surfable but very ordinary" kind of day.

After that, the 1st of August is a total write-off with tiny 1 ft swell and onshore wind.

So, to wrap it up: the standout is the Thursday morning of the 30th of July. Get there early for the offshore wind and a clean 4 ft north swell. The 27th and 28th have the size for the experts, but the wind is a deal-breaker. The long-range look on the 30th is promising, but less certain given it's a week and a half away.

Rusty, signing off.

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.
