The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a long, hard look at what Spew Pits is cooking up over the next couple of weeks. I gotta be straight with you: it’s a tough stretch. We’re not talking about a poor run of a few days; we’re looking at a pretty blank run of surf that stretches deep into the second week. The consistent northerly wind is the real villain here, and it’s just not letting up.
Right from the start, on Thursday the 27th, we’ve got a tiny 4ft N swell, but with a weak period of 5 seconds and a fresh NNE cross-off wind, the water’s a touch warmer than normal at 75°, but the surf is just messy. The combined swell energy is a weak 84, confirming there’s nothing to get excited about.
Into Friday the 28th, the swell bumps up to 5ft, then 6ft, but that period only stretches to 7 seconds, and that consistent cross-off wind is still there. The energy climbs to 426, but the surf is still labeled poor. This pattern is a real grind.
Saturday the 29th is our only glimmer of hope in the entire forecast. The swell holds at 6ft from the north, but the period finally jumps to a more respectable 11 seconds. The wind eases slightly to a NNE 19 mph cross-off, and the energy gets up to a moderate 929. This is a classic case where a point break or reef could handle that longer-period swell better, and with the wind being cross-off, it could actually clean up a bit. The surf is described as “marginal” which isn’t a ringing endorsement, but it’s the best thing we’ve got. Still, at 6ft, this is expert territory. It’s not much to shout about, but if you’re desperate, Saturday morning is your window.
From Sunday the 30th onwards, it’s a slow slide into the abyss. The swell drops, the period shortens, and the wind, mainly from the north, stays firm. By Monday the 7th of September, we’re down to 3ft from the NNW with a longish 12-second period, but the wind is still cross-off and the energy is low at 242. The break is labeled as “inconsistent” at times, which is fitting because there are no real standouts.
In the second week, it’s just flat and sad. Wednesday the 9th of September has a tiny 2ft swell from the WNW, and the energy is barely a whisper at 115. By Thursday the 10th, it’s even weaker. The crowds at Spew Pits are “sometimes” a factor, but honestly, with conditions this poor, the only people out will be the diehards. A break this exposed to the north needs a good swell and clean wind to fire, and we’ve got neither. If you’re looking for paddle surfing, you’re out of luck. This setup, with strong wind and short-period chop, looks more interesting for kite surfing than anything with a paddle.
Rusty.

Information about the Spew Pits Surf forecast

Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
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. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
