The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into what’s on the menu for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a bit of a quiet stretch for Spew Pits. The only real window that even looks like it might have something to offer is the morning of Thursday, September 3rd, and even then, it’s marginal. The wind is a light cross-shore, and the swell is right around 4 ft from the north at a short 8 seconds. The energy is weak (204). It’s not terrible, but it’s not something you’d rush to the water for. The combined energy is marginal, and the conditions are just a little messy. After that, the run of poor surf and messy wind stretches out for days. The wind stays cross or cross-off, but the swell is tiny and weak, and the scores are all zeros. There’s a long gap of flat, poor conditions from the afternoon of Thursday, September 3rd, all the way out to the end of the forecast. A few sessions around September 8th and 9th have clean conditions but only 3 ft to 4 ft swell with short periods, so it’s just not enough to get excited about. The best swell direction (NNW) is a fit for the spot, but it’s not showing up with any real power. The water temperature is about 75°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least the water’s comfortable.
There’s nothing here that’s a standout. The best option is the Thursday morning session, where the wind is light and the swell is just about rideable, but it’s a very low-energy, marginal call. For the rest of the 16 days, it’s mostly a flat spell with cross-off breezes and no real swell to speak of. If you’re desperate, you could paddle out on the 3rd, but I wouldn’t cancel your plans.
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.
