The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s cookin’ for Spew Pits.

Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this 16-day window is a tough one for a proper paddle session at Spew Pits. It’s a consistent, expert-level reef break that’s exposed to the swell, but for the first two weeks, the wind just won’t play nice.

We kick off Monday, August 10th, with a 3ft swell from the north, but it's a short-period 6-second windswell with a cross-shore breeze kicking up a lumpy chop – it’s a write-off. The water’s sitting at 74°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.

The next couple of weeks are a similar story. From Tuesday, August 11th through to Sunday, August 23rd, the swell bounces around between 2ft and 5ft, but the wind is constantly cross-shore or cross-off, and the descriptions are all “poor surf conditions.” The combined energy is weak to moderate at best, with values like 46, 127, and 201, but it’s all wind-affected and messy. For a picky reef like this, it’s just not worth paddling out. There’s a solid 14-day stretch here with no real recommendation.

Now, hold on. There is a tiny glimmer of hope. On Monday, August 24th, the conditions finally align. The morning session shows a 2ft swell from the northwest, but here’s the kicker – the period jumps to 14 seconds, giving it that long-period groundswell energy. The combined energy of all swells directed here hits 346, which is moderate to strong. The wind is a gentle cross-offshore breeze from the NNE, keeping the surface clean. The forecast even says “expect good surf conditions.” This is the standout. The swell direction is a touch north of the optimum NNW, but it’s close enough that this reef will fire. That bigger, longer-period pulse will wrap in nicely, offering some proper lines. Just be aware – crowds here are sometimes an issue, so you might have company.

That window, however, is short-lived. By Monday afternoon, the wind swings back to a cross-shore chop and the quality tanks. Tuesday, August 25th, starts clean again with a 2ft, 11-second NW swell, but the combined energy is still solid at 258. It’s described as “marginal,” so it’s not a total loss, but the Monday morning is the real prize.

So, to boil it down: the first two weeks are a wash. Your one and only true standout is the morning of Monday, August 24th. That’s your window. Get on it if you can.
