The Lowdown
Righto, let’s have a look at what’s on the menu for the next couple of weeks. We’ve only got one spot in the frame, and it’s a proper ledge: Spew Pits. This is an exposed reef that only suits daredevils. The water temp is running about average for this time of year, so no surprises there. The problem is, for the first week or so, the wind and the swell just can’t get on the same page. We’ve got a long, dry spell of messy, choppy conditions with cross-shore winds that’ll leave you frustrated.
The first real whisper of something decent doesn’t pop up until Sunday morning the 13th of September. The swell drops a bit to 1.3m (4ft) from the north, period’s a short 8 seconds, but a gentle cross-off breeze cleans it right up. It’s a low-scoring day, but it’s the first clean surface we see. Not a standout, just a flicker.
The real gem, the one you’ve been waiting for, arrives on Monday the 22nd of September. Tuesday morning the 22nd, we’ve got glassy conditions – dead calm – with a 1.0m (3ft) groundswell from the NNW. The period is a very long 15 seconds, which brings proper energy and shape. Combined energy is a solid 616 (moderate to strong), and that offshore wind combo means it’ll be clean as a whistle. This is a reef break, and that long-period groundswell will peel perfectly. It’s an expert-only wave, but for the crew that can handle it, this is the pick of the whole 16-day window. Expect some company though – crowds are possible here.
After that, the energy fades fast. The rest of the week into the weekend is small, short-period leftovers with onshore or cross-shore wind. Nothing to get excited about. So, there’s a massive slump at the start, then one morning of pure reef magic, then back to the doldrums. Keep an eye on that Tuesday the 22nd.
