The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s cut to the chase. Lookin’ at the 16-day window, we’ve got a pretty grim run ahead. The only break on the radar is Spew Pits, and honestly, this ain’t a time to get excited. The whole period is dominated by a persistent, fresh NNE wind that just won’t let up, keeping the surface messy and the quality poor. The best you can say is there’s a lot of energy in the water, but it’s a total washout for paddle surfing.
The first real chance to even *think* about paddling out doesn’t come until Monday, August 3rd, and even then it’s a hard sell. For the first week and a half, from the 23rd of July right through to the 2nd of August, the surf is labelled as poor. The wind is a constant cross-off or cross shore, blowing 15 to 25 mph. Swell hangs around 4 ft to 6 ft from the north, with a short, weak period of 7 to 8 seconds. The combined energy is moderate to strong, hitting 486 (moderate wave energy) on the 26th, but it’s a messy, churned-up ocean. That’s not a lineup for a surfboard; that’s a kite-surfing setup if you’re into that.
The first mention of anything *marginal* pops up on Monday, August 3rd. The morning session shows a small 3 ft swell from the NNW, period climbing to 10 seconds, and the wind going cross-off. The combined energy reads 247 (moderate wave energy). It’s clean, but it’s tiny. By the afternoon, it’s back to poor conditions. Then Tuesday, August 4th morning offers a similar story: 4 ft from the north, 9 second period, clean with cross-off wind, and energy at 225 (moderate wave energy). It’s the best of a bad bunch, but it’s still a weak option.
Look, Spew Pits is a consistent expert reef break that loves a NNW swell, but this forecast is a test of patience. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing to write home about. The standout window, if you can call it that, is the morning of Monday the 3rd and Tuesday the 4th. It’s not going to be epic, but it’s the only time the ocean looks like it might cooperate. Otherwise, it’s a long, boring wait. Keep your eye on the sky, ‘cause the forecast can change, but right now, I’d find something else to do.
Rusty.
