The Lowdown

Alright, let’s get this out there. If you’re looking at Spew Pits, I’ll tell you straight up – the next couple of weeks are going to be a grind for surfers. This is a heavy, expert-only reef that needs a specific kind of energy, and the forecast just isn't giving it what it wants.

For the start of this run, we're looking at small, weak surf. Through Sunday the 2nd and Monday the 3rd, we’ve got ankle to waist-high dribble, with the swell energy sitting in the low hundreds (148). The wind is sideshore, coming out of the north, so it’s not going to be totally clean, and that combo is just a flat-out no-go for this place. You’d be surfing close-outs on a high-performance board, just hoping for something to do.

Through the week, there is a slight pulse of energy, but it’s not the right kind. The swell stays under 5ft, but the period is short, around 6 seconds. That’s practically windswell chop, and here at a reef that needs a solid groundswell to really work, it’s going to be a frustrating mess. The energy numbers climb into the 200s and 300s, but it's all that junk. By the 7th and 8th, we see the swell bump to 4-5ft, but the wind swings more cross-shore, and the wave comment just flat-out says "poor surf conditions". Sure, there’s more water moving, but it’s going to be fat, crumbly, and without any push.

We see a bit of a cleaner run around the 11th to the 13th, with some mornings having cross-offshore winds. But again, the swell is still short-period and the energy is moderate. It’s more of the same – not what this spot needs. Honestly, if you’re a kiter, these conditions are going to look a lot more interesting than they do for a paddler.

The only time things get remotely interesting is the 15th through the 17th. We get a slight improvement in period, pushing to 9 seconds, and a modest bump in the energy. But the wind is still mostly cross-shore, and the forecast is just calling it "marginal". The swell is still under 5ft, so it’s not really going to get this reef cranking. It’s the best of a bad bunch, but I wouldn’t be clearing my schedule.

In short, don’t get your hopes up for this window. It’s a poor run for a spot that needs a lot more size and period to show its true colors. The water is sitting at 73°F, which is right about normal for this time of year. Just a heads-up, it’s going to stay this way for a while.
