The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, the 16-day window is a bit of a write-off for Spew Pits. We’ve got a solid run of days with no good surf on offer, and it’s going to be a frustrating stretch. The whole period starts with a blank and stays that way through to the end of the forecast. The only break on the cards is Spew Pits, a reef setup that’s strictly for experts, and it’s consistent, but the conditions just aren’t playing ball.
The pattern is dominated by a persistent cross and cross-off wind from the north and north-northeast, blowing fresh at 15 to 22 mph most days. That’s not going to give us the clean, lined-up waves we’re after. The swell is hanging around 3 ft to 5 ft, mostly from the north with a short period of 6 to 9 seconds, which is weak and messy. The combined energy is weak, sitting between 98 and 310 – nothing to get excited about. The water temperature is 74°F with a touch warmer than normal anomaly, so that’s about average for the time of year.
There are no standout sessions here. The best you could hope for is a few cleaner moments when the wind swings cross-off, like on the morning of the 6th of August, or the 11th and 12th, but the swell is still small and weak. The 15th of August morning has a cleaner look with 5 ft and 8-second period from the north, but the wind is still cross-off at 16 mph, and the energy is moderate at 246. It’s not going to be memorable.
Given the persistent swell and poor quality, with the wind and short-period chop, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. The truth is, there’s nothing for surfers here in the 16-day window. But don’t lose hope – this spot is consistent, so it tends not to stay poor for long, and forecasts can change.
Rusty.
