Table - best surf conditions forecast for Spew Pits over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s cooking at Spew Pits.
Straight up, this is a tough stretch. We’ve got a solid 16-day window ahead, but don’t get your hopes up for clean, barreling perfection. The setup is a consistent, exposed reef that handles a NNW swell, but the winds are going to be a persistent problem. The water is sitting at 73°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least you won’t be freezing your arse off.
The best bet on the whole board is a very short window on Sunday morning, July 12th. We’ve got a clean 4 ft swell from the NW, with a period of 8 seconds, and a gentle cross-off breeze from the NNE at 9 mph. The combined energy is moderate (176), and the conditions are clean. It’s the only time the stars align with a decent score. It’s an expert-only wave, and crowds are possible, but for that one morning, it’s the standout.
After that, the wind turns on us. Sunday afternoon cranks up to a cross-shore 16 mph, and from Monday the 13th through to the end of the week, we’re stuck with relentless cross-off and cross-shore winds. The swell sticks around – 3 ft to 5 ft on Monday and Tuesday – but it’s raw and bumpy. The energy is moderate (172 to 188), but the wind kills it.
From Wednesday the 15th into the weekend, the wind gets even stronger. We’re looking at 19 mph plus winds from the N and NNE, with a cross-off or cross direction. The swell bumps up from 5 ft to 6 ft by the 19th, and the energy climbs into the strong range (379 to 439). But with those winds, it’s going to be a washing machine. This setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
The second week stays pretty grim. From Monday the 20th right through to the end of the period on Monday the 27th, it’s the same story: strong winds (16 to 22 mph), mostly cross-off, and a steady pulse of 5 ft to 6 ft swell from the N and NNE. The energy stays strong (312 to 505), but the quality is poor. There’s a couple of days around the 25th and 27th where the wind drops just a touch, but it’s still cross-shore or marginal. There’s a gap of several days there with no real recommendation.
Honestly, if you’re desperate for a paddle, aim for the Sunday morning of the 12th. Otherwise, find something else to do for a fortnight.
Rusty.
