The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk about the next couple of weeks, and I’ll be straight with you – it’s not looking good. The only break in the frame is Spew Pits, and over the whole 16-day window, there’s no real standout. The water’s sitting at 75°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, so at least it’s not cold.
We’ve got a big quiet gap straight up. From Wednesday 26th through Friday 28th August, the surf is poor. Tiny waves, mostly under 3 ft, and the wind is cross or cross-off with a fresh breeze, so the surface is bumpy. The combined energy on Wednesday afternoon is only 112 (weak), and it drops to 58 on Thursday morning. Nothing to get excited about.
Things try to pick up a little on Saturday 29th August. The swell reaches 6 ft from the north with a 11-second period, and combined energy hits 929 (moderate). The wind is cross-off from the NNE, so the surface is clean. The forecast is still marginal, and at 6 ft, it’s getting into the zone where beginners should think twice. The long period (11s) means better shaped waves with more grunt, and on a reef break like Spew Pits, that’s a plus. It’s the closest we get to anything decent, but it’s still not a standout – just the best of a bad run.
From Sunday 30th August all the way through to Thursday 10th September, it’s nearly all poor. Swell drops to 5 ft or less, periods shorten, and the wind turns cross or cross-on most days. The combined energy mostly sits between 100 and 400, which is weak to moderate. A few mornings on Thursday 10th September show clean conditions with cross-off wind and a 4 ft NW swell, but with only 257 energy, it’s not gonna fire. The waves are too small and weak for any real fun.
So really, the only tiny highlight is Saturday 29th – and even that’s a “maybe” if you’re desperate. The rest of the window is a bust. Spew Pits is consistent, so it tends not to stay this flat for long, but this run is a real dry spell. If you’re looking for a paddle, you’ll be waiting a while.
