Spew Pits Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s get into it.

First thing’s first, the water’s sitting at 74°F down at Spew Pits, which is pretty much dead average for this time of year. Nothing weird going on there, so you can leave the booties at home.

Looking at the whole stretch from now through the end of the month, it’s a bit of a slow burner. We’ve got a couple of days of junk to start, then it starts to clean up, with a few proper windows of fun. The standout, no question, is the morning of Sunday, September 20th. That’s your pick of the entire run.

Here’s how it’s all gonna shake out.

For the first couple of days, Tuesday and Wednesday, it’s pretty woeful. Tiny slop, nothing doing. Thursday picks up a little size, chest-high at 5ft, but the wind is on it and it’s just messy. Friday is similar, same story – lumpy and cross-shore. Saturday’s a bit cleaner, but the swell is backing off a touch and it’s still not what you’d call epic.

Then we get to Sunday, September 20th. That’s the morning. The swell is only 3ft, but it’s a clean NNW groundswell rolling in at 14 seconds. The wind is a light cross-off from the NNE, just glassing it up. Energy is moderate at 532 (combined energy of all swells directed here). It’s a reef break, so that long period is going to hold it together nicely. It’s not big, but it’s gonna be perfect, lined-up, and just a joy to ride. That’s the one to circle.

Monday, September 21st morning is still okay. A bit smaller at 3ft, still a long 12-second period, and clean. Not as good as Sunday, but a decent follow-up.

Then we hit a bit of a dry spell. Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday – all pretty ordinary. Small and just not worth getting too worked up about. We’re looking at ankle-to-knee high slop with light winds. It’s a bit of a lull.

Now, for the second week, it gets interesting. We start seeing some bigger numbers on the charts for the end of the month, but it’s far out, so don’t book the time off just yet.

Saturday, September 26th morning is when it starts to build. 3ft, but with a solid 17-second period. The energy is starting to kick up (655). Still a bit lumpy, but it’s a promise of things to come.

Then we get to Monday, September 28th morning. That’s the other standout. It’s not huge, 5ft, but it’s a clean NNW swell at 13 seconds with a light offshore wind. Should be absolutely glassy and fun, with some proper power behind it.

Tuesday, September 29th morning is right there with it – 5ft, clean, again. Good consistency.

And Wednesday, September 30th morning looks like it could be the biggest of the run, pushing 4ft with a very long 16-second period. The energy is strong (1154), but there’s a stiffer breeze on it. It’ll be powerful and could be a bit challenging, but for the right crew, it’ll be on.

So there you have it. It’s not a two-week pumping extravaganza, but there are definitely some sessions to be had. Get on Sunday, September 20th if you can, and keep an eye on that last Monday, September 28th. For a place like this, that’s a solid run.

Rusty.
