The Lowdown

Righto, let’s have a look at what’s comin’ down the line for Spew Pits. This is a real expert-only reef setup—exposed as all get-out and picky about where the swell comes from, with its optimum direction being the NNW. Now straight up, there’s no real run of clean, quality surf here for the next 16 days. The window starts from Tuesday, 18th August, but honestly, it’s a pretty grim outlook for the most part.

We kick off Tuesday morning, 18th August, with a small 0.9m (that’s about 3ft) N swell, 8-second period, and a light northerly breeze that’s cross-off. It’s clean enough with only 125 (weak energy) behind it, but the waves are pretty ordinary—small, short-period windswill, basically. Not worth wettin’ a wetsuit for.

Wednesday morning the 19th shows a tiny bump to 1.0m (3ft), same short period, still cross-off breeze, but the energy is still weak (157). The comment says it’s surfable but ordinary. That sums it up.

From Thursday the 20th right through to Friday the 28th of August, the forecast is dominated by cross-off breezes, but wind speeds jump up considerably—20 to 35 km/h (12 to 22 mph)—and the swell bumps up a bit, reachin’ 1.7m (6ft) by Friday afternoon the 28th. The combined energy climbs to 368 (moderate energy) on that Friday arvo, which sounds interesting, but every single session in that stretch is rated as poor conditions. The wind’s blowin’ moderate to fresh all day, and while it’s cross-off, it’s just strong enough to mess with the surface. The 1.7m (6ft) on Friday the 28th with a short 8-second period is gonna be lumpy, bumpy, and not much fun for anyone. For beginners, any swell over 1.5m (5ft) is too much, but here it’s more about the wind and chop anyway.

Saturday morning the 29th gives us 1.5m (5ft), still cross-off, still moderate breeze—clean enough, but energy is 311 (moderate), and still a poor surf call underneath it all. The afternoons all fall apart into cross-shore chop.

There’s a small tease on Sunday, 23rd August morning, with a 0.7m (2ft), 10-second period swell, but it’s tiny and the wind is fresh and cross-off—marginal at best, with a 242 (moderate energy) reading, but the wave state keeps it from bein’ any kind of standout.

Come Sunday morning, 30th August, the swell drops back to 1.1m (4ft), light cross-off, gentle breeze again—but it’s still just poor quality. Same story into the first few days of September: modest swell, poor conditions.

The only real standout window is Friday, 28th August afternoon and Saturday, 29th August morning. Friday afternoon sees the biggest swell of the window: 1.7m (6ft) from the north, short 8-second period, but the combined energy ramps up to 368—that’s moderate but on the stronger side for this run. The wind is cross-off and fresh, so expect clean faces, but the period is short, so the waves’ll be steep and dumpy. This one’s strictly for the experts, and the crowd rating says ‘sometimes’, but around here, that’s likely—just a heads up.

Best on offer: the Friday 28th August afternoon session, if you’re experienced and don’t mind a bit of chop. The Saturday morning 29th is a close second, with similar size (1.5m / 5ft) and clean conditions, but less energy (311). Both are better than any of the mornings or afternoons in the first week, but don’t go gettin’ your hopes up—this isn’t exactly a pumping run. The swell direction is north, which is a bit off the optimum NNW, so the reef won’t be working at its best.

Water temp is flagged as ‘-‘ for the anomaly, so it’s about average for this time of year—no crazy warm or cold spells to mention.

Spew Pits is consistent, but with this persistent strong wind and short-period rubbish, it’s just not on. If you’re a kiter, honestly, some of those cleaner cross-off days with decent breeze might appeal more than the paddle surf.

So yeah, a long dry spell with only a couple of sessions worth even a glance. Keep an eye on that Friday the 28th if you’re hardcore and local, otherwise I’d find somethin’ else to do for a fortnight.

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.

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.
