The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s talk about Spew Pits for the next couple of weeks. It’s not a classic run, but there’s a moment worth paddling out for. The water temp’s about average for this time of year, nothing wild.
Your first real chance is Thursday, September 3rd, in the morning. The swell is from the north at 4ft with an 8-second period, and the combined energy is moderate at 275. The wind is a light 15 km/h from the NNE, giving you clean cross-offshore conditions. That’s the window—a reef break needs that clean face, and Thursday morning delivers it. That’s the standout for the first week.
Before that, from Monday, August 31st, through Wednesday, September 2nd, forget it. Swell runs 4ft to 6ft from the north, but the wind is a fresh 25 to 35 km/h cross-off or cross. The combined energy climbs from 237 to 485, moderate to strong, but the conditions are labelled “poor” the whole time. Too much wind chop. Late Wednesday you’ve got 6ft with cross-shore wind and a cross-chop (400 energy)—maybe for experts only, but it’s not clean.
After Thursday’s window, Friday the 4th through Sunday the 6th drops off. Swell shrinks to 3ft and below, wind swings cross-on from the NNW, and energy falls to around 100-135—weak to weak-moderate. Not worth the paddle.
Into the second week, Monday, September 7th, has a tease: 2ft from the NNW with a long 12-second period, energy 305 (moderate). Wind is light 15 km/h from the north, cross-shore with slight chop. Still only “poor,” though.
Tuesday, September 8th, morning brings 5ft from the NNE at 7 seconds, energy 395 (strong), clean cross-offshore from the NNE at 20 km/h. It’s marginal due to tide or something, so it’s a maybe.
From the 9th to the 15th of September, it’s mostly under 5ft with cross or cross-on winds and energy mostly under 300 (weak to moderate). Sunday the 13th morning has a 2ft WNW swell (9 seconds), light 10 km/h offshore from the NNE, energy 161—only “surfable but very ordinary.”
The single true standout is Thursday morning, September 3rd. Swell north at 4ft, 8-second period, clean cross-offshore wind. It’s an expert break and crowds are possible, so expect a few heads out. That’s your shot. The rest of the 16 days is mostly a write-off with wind issues.
Rusty.

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.
