G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’m gonna level with you – the next 16 days are a proper grind for this stretch. The only spot on the cards is Spew Pits, a heavy expert reef, but the conditions are a mess for most of it. Water temp is sitting at 71°, which is pretty average for this time of year, so nothing weird going on there.
We kick off Friday 10 July with nothing worth paddling out for. The same goes for Saturday 11 July – tiny, messy, and cross-shore. Sunday 12 July morning is the best we see for a while. A clean 4ft of NW swell, period around 8 seconds, and gentle cross-off winds from the NNE. The combined energy is moderate (158), so there’s some push, but it’s not a standout. The waves are surfable, but very ordinary. By Sunday afternoon, it’s gone again.
Monday 13 July morning offers a repeat: clean, 3ft from the NNW, cross-off breeze, with moderate energy (168). It’s better than nothing, but still not what you’d call a highlight. After that, it’s a long stretch of poor surf and strong onshore winds, with a few clean mornings but tiny swell. The swell picks up from Thursday 16 July, but the wind is howling 19-22 mph, and the combined energy jumps into the 200s and 300s – moderate to strong – but the surf is rated poor because of the wind.
The only real standout window is Sunday 19 July through Monday 20 July. Swell hits 6ft to 6ft from the north, period around 9 seconds, and the combined energy is strong (574 and 637). The morning sessions are clean with cross-off winds, but the afternoon on Monday 20 July still has that fresh breeze. This is the best on offer, but it’s still marginal – the optimum swell direction for Spew Pits is NNW, and this is straight N, so it’s not perfect. The crowds are sometimes a thing here, so you might see a few others. Given the size, at 6ft, this is solid for experts but too big for beginners. The reef and longer period mean it’ll hold shape, and the long gaps between sets will help with the paddle.
After Tuesday 21 July, the wind gets messy again and the quality drops off. The last few days into the 25th have clean mornings and 5ft-6ft swell, but the energy is strong and the wind is still fresh, keeping it in the marginal category. Nothing is a true standout after that Monday.
The first week is a write-off until Sunday 12 July, and the second week has a few promising but less certain days. Look, if you’re keen, aim for the 19th and 20th, but keep your expectations low.
Rusty.

Information about the Spew Pits Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Spew Pits provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Spew Pits can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Spew Pits surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Spew Pits) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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.
