The Lowdown

Alright, let’s break down the next 16 days at Spew Pits. This is a top-tier expert reef, and it’s consistent, so it’s a spot that’s always worth checking. The water is sitting at 24°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year—nothing crazy, but it’s a nice little bonus.

The start is a bit slow. Sunday the 23rd has some swell, but it’s marginal. Morning sees a 0.9m N swell at 10 seconds with a cross north wind at 15 km/h. The combined energy is weak (223), so don’t expect much. The afternoon picks up to 1.3m from the NNW at 14 seconds, and the energy jumps to moderate (819), but the cross wind messes up the surface. Not the day to get wet.

Monday the 24th is the real standout. The morning brings a clean 1.8m swell from the NNW at 12 seconds (944 energy) with a cross-offshore breeze from the NNE at 20 km/h. The waves will have some punch, and the conditions are clean. That’s your best session. The afternoon gets a bit lumpy, so go early.

From Tuesday the 25th onward, the swell drops and the wind stays moderate to fresh. The energy falls from moderate (411) back to weak (123) by Wednesday, and the swell height bounces between 0.8m and 1.5m. The wind is cross-offshore most of the time, so the surface is clean, but the wave quality is poor. The period is short, mostly 8 seconds or less, so the waves are weak and crumbly. Not worth paddling.

There’s a real lull from Thursday the 27th through to Monday the 31st. The swell is tiny or the period is too short, and the wind is too strong. The combined energy is mostly below 100. It’s a flat spell.

Looking into the second week, there’s a promising moment on Saturday the 29th of August. The morning shows a 2.1m swell from the N at 11 seconds, with a strong combined energy of 1116. The wind is a clean cross-offshore from the NNE at 35 km/h. That’s a solid, powerful swell, but it’s getting big—over 2.5m is expert-only, and this is close. It’s a good option for the experienced crew. The rest of the week into early September is a mix of 1.5m to 1.6m swells from the N, but the period stays short (7 to 8 seconds) and the wind is often cross or fresh, keeping the quality low.

The last couple of days, Sunday the 6th and Monday the 7th of September, have a weird shift. A 0.4m WNW swell from a very long 23 seconds on Sunday afternoon, then a 0.8m swell from the WNW at 17 seconds on Monday morning. The energy is moderate (356 and 452), but the period is so long for a reef break that it’s likely to be too straight and fat. Not ideal.

The best of the whole outlook is Monday the 24th of August morning. That’s the one. Clean, solid 1.8m swell with a good 12-second period and a cross-offshore breeze. The next best is Saturday the 29th of August morning, but that’s a week away and a bit more of a gamble—the swell is bigger and the wind is stronger, so it’s one for the experts.

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.
