The Lowdown

Alright, let's have a look at what's on the table.

Right then, let's be straight with you. The next 16 days are a bit of a tough watch for decent waves around here. The only spot that's even in the conversation is Spew Pits, an expert-level reef break that consistently picks up swell. We're looking at a pretty dry run, but hang in there.

First up, the water temp is sitting at 73°F, which is about average for this time of year. Nothing unusual there.

Looking at the first week, from Saturday the 15th through to the following Friday, the swell is bumping around from 2ft to 4ft, mostly out of the N or NNE, but the period is a short, choppy 7 to 8 seconds. The wind is a constant problem, blowing a fresh 16 to 19 mph from the NNE, keeping things messy. The combined energy is weak to moderate (217 down to 97). Even though the mornings are clean, the wind is too strong to make anything of it. The score is a big fat zero for most of this period. Honestly, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing given the strong cross-off winds and short-period chop.

There is a very brief glimmer of hope on the morning of Tuesday the 18th, with a light 6 mph breeze from the NNE. The swell drops to 3ft from the N at a slightly better 9 seconds, and the combined energy is still weak (139). The wave comment says "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions", and it's only a 1 out of 10. Wednesday the 19th morning is similar. It's surfable, but it's nothing to get excited about.

Moving into the second week, things start to look a touch more promising, though still not great. From Saturday the 22nd through to the end of the month, the swell size kicks up a notch to 4ft to 5ft, with the period stretching out to 8 to 10 seconds at times. The combined energy picks up to moderate to strong levels, hitting 311 on Tuesday the 25th and 303 on the 26th. The wind remains the enemy, blowing a persistent 16 to 22 mph from the NNE. It's a cross-off wind, which cleans up the surface, but the speed is way too high for a comfortable paddle.

If I had to pick a standout, and this is a long-range one so keep your expectations in check, it would be the morning of Monday the 28th of August. The swell is 5ft from the N at an 8-second period (combined energy 257), and the wind drops to a moderate 12 mph from the NNE. It's still not perfect, but it's the best-looking session in the whole run. The wave comment calls it "marginal surf forecast or questionable tide conditions", which is a better rating than anything else, and it's the only day that gets a 1 out of 10.

For the rest of the second week, from the 24th to the 30th, the conditions are consistently poor. The swell is there, but the wind is howling. The 26th of August bumps up to 5ft, which is getting into expert-only territory with those winds.

So, the bottom line: this is a poor run of surf for Spew Pits. The wind is the big killer. The best you can hope for is a marginal session on Monday the 28th, but don't hold your breath. It tends not to stay this poor forever, so keep an eye on it.

A general guide to surfing at Spew Pits can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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.
