The Lowdown

G'day, Rusty here. Look, I'm gonna level with you. We've got a 16-day window, and there's really only one spot on the menu and one good window to jump on. It's a waiting game for a solid pulse of swell, but the conditions around it are a bit touch-and-go.

The only game in town is Spew Pits. This is a heavy, expert-only reef break that loves a solid NNW groundswell, and it's consistent. The water is sitting at a warm 75°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you won't need the thickest rubber.

The first proper glimmer of hope is on Sunday, the 23rd of August. We've got a building N swell, but at 3 ft to 4 ft with a 10 to 14 second period, it's just not enough to get this reef really firing. The wind is cross-shore, so it'll be a bit lumpy. The combined energy is weak to moderate (223) on Sunday morning, but it jumps to a strong 819 in the afternoon. Still, the forecast calls it marginal, so don't get your hopes up for that day.

Monday the 24th morning is where it gets interesting. The swell jumps to 6 ft from the NNW with a 12-second period, and the wind goes clean cross-offshore. The combined wave energy is a hefty 944. This is a solid, powerful groundswell and the best-looking window of the whole forecast. But, and it's a big but, the afternoon on Monday turns to junk with poor conditions and a cross-shore wind. So you need to be on it first thing.

The rest of the week and into the next is a bit of a write-off. The waves either drop off, or the wind stays strong, or the conditions are just poor. There's a spike in the swell on Saturday the 29th of August, with a 8 ft, 11-second NNW groundswell and a strong energy reading of 1319, but the wind is a stiff 35 km/h cross-offshore. That's a lot of wind for a wave that size. It's expert territory for sure, and with that much wind, it's going to be a battle, even if it's clean. The swell is big enough to hold some power, but it's a long way out and the confidence is low.

After that, the swell steadily drops and the consistency fades. We're looking at small, short-period, poor-quality surf for the rest of the first week of September. There's a real dry spell from the 1st of September onwards, with the combined energy dropping below 300 and the swell size barely cracking 3 ft. It's a flat, disappointing run into the second week.

So, the standout is Monday morning, the 24th of August. Get the dawn patrol. The wind is clean, the swell is a solid 6 ft from the NNW, and the reef should be offering up some proper, critical barrels. It's a heavy spot, so bring your courage and your step-up. After that, it's a whole lot of waiting for something that never really shows up.

Rusty.

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.
