Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you: it's a grim run ahead if you're hanging out at Spew Pits. This is an expert reef break that demands a clean, lined-up northwest swell, but the next couple of weeks are basically a write-off. The wind is almost always blowing across the swell, messing up what little wave energy there is. Most days the combined swell energy is weak to moderate at best (between 13 and 334), which just isn't enough to get this place working properly. We've got a long dry spell stretching across the entire forecast period with barely a glimmer of hope.
Looking at the first week, from Friday the 3rd through Thursday the 17th, it's just one poor surf call after another. On Friday the 3rd we see a 5ft north swell coming in at 9 seconds, combined energy at 334 – that's your best shot in the whole window, but it's ruined by a stiff cross-onshore breeze making things choppy. It's just not worth paddling out for. Saturday the 4th drops to 4ft, still messy. By Sunday the 5th it's down to 3ft, and it gets even smaller with weak 5-second waves in the middle of the week. The wind is relentless – cross-shore, cross-onshore, cross-off, never clean for long.
Things try to build a little around Monday the 13th with a 5ft north pulse at 6 seconds, energy climbing to 167, and the wind goes cross-offshore so the surface is clean. That combo shows a hint of shape, but the period is too short for a reef like this to really stand up. Tuesday the 14th keeps the 4ft north swell going with similar energy (251), but the afternoon wind swings back to a lumpy cross-shore, so the window is narrow.
The only standout, if you can even call it that, is the morning of Wednesday the 15th. A 4ft north swell at 8 seconds, combined energy of 227, and crucially, the wind is cross-offshore and clean. It's the most surfable moment in this entire bleak run. But even then, with the swell being north and the optimum direction for Spew Pits being NNW, it's not aligned perfectly – the waves will be a little straighter, less of that proper reef shape. The water temp is pretty average for the time of year, nothing out of the ordinary.
For the second week, the pattern holds. Thursday the 16th and Friday the 17th see similar 4ft to 5ft north swell at 8 seconds, but the wind keeps shifting around, ruining it. Saturday the 18th shows a slight bump to 6ft from the north (8 seconds, energy 452), but again, cross-shore wind kills it. Honestly, there's nothing here to get excited about. Most days are barely even knee-high with poor energy. If you're a true expert and you really need a paddle, Wednesday the 15th morning is your only potential window, and it's a gamble. Otherwise, this is a full 16-day blank. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
Rusty.

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.
