Table - best surf conditions forecast for Spew Pits over the next 16 days.
Alright, mate, let's have a look at Spew Pits. This is a proper reef setup, expert only, consistent, and it's exposed to the swell. But honestly, the next 16 days are looking pretty grim for the most part. There's one tiny window that might be worth a look, but after that it's a long, dry spell.
The only half-decent moment comes early on Sunday morning, July 12. We've got a 4 ft NW swell rolling in with a short 8-second period, and the wind is cross-off from the NNE at 9 mph. The combined energy is moderate (176), and the wave comment says "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions." Still, it's the cleanest we'll see, and for a reef like this, that cross-off breeze is a major plus. Don't expect anything special – it's just the least bad option.
After that Sunday morning, it's all downhill. From Sunday afternoon through to the end of the forecast on Monday, July 27, every single session is marked as poor surf conditions. The swell stays small, mostly under 5 ft, with periods rarely above 8 seconds, and the wind is consistently cross-off or cross, often fresh or moderate. The combined energy drops to weak (55–302) and the wave state is either clean but weak or lumpy with cross-chop. There's no standout day, no build, nothing. For a spot that's normally consistent, this is a real quiet spell. The only thing that might catch your eye is a slight bump late on Saturday July 25 and Sunday July 26, when the swell hits 5–6 ft from the north, but the wind stays messy and the period is still short. That's not enough to save it.
Bottom line: Sunday morning, July 12, is your one shot. The rest of the 16 days? Save your energy – it's not worth paddling out.

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.
