The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, giving you the lowdown in feet and Fahrenheit.
Let’s be real – the waves at Spew Pits are looking bleak for the foreseeable future. There’s a big dry spell with almost nothing worth paddling for. The only day that even gets a marginal nod is Saturday, August 1st, and that’s still iffy.
Water temp is sitting around 73°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year. Not a big deal since you probably won’t be in the water much.
Right now through the end of July, we’ve got cross-off winds blowing 18-22 mph and tiny surf. Wednesday the 29th and Thursday the 30th have waves from 1ft to just over 4ft from the NNW and N, with short periods of 7-10 seconds. The combined energy is weak – between 35 and 191 (moderate at best). Total waste of time.
Friday the 31st is the same: 4ft from the N, short 7-second period, moderate breeze. Stay home.
Saturday the 1st of August is the one day that gets a marginal nod. Morning brings a 3ft N swell with a gentle cross-shore, but the wind is messy. Afternoon drops to 2ft from the NW with a longer 10-second period, but the cross-chop ruins it. Energy is moderate at 187-210. It’s a “maybe if you’re really jonesing” kind of day.
From Sunday the 2nd all the way through Thursday the 13th of August, it’s a constant stream of 3ft to 5ft N and NNE swells, mostly short 6-7 second periods, with cross or cross-off winds between 9 and 22 mph. The combined energy climbs into the 200s and even hits 300 on the afternoon of Friday the 7th, but that’s for a 5ft, 6-second lump – pure junk. The wind keeps things choppy or clean but unsurfable.
Bottom line: no standout sessions here. Spew Pits is an expert reef break that breaks consistently, but the conditions just aren’t cooperating. For the next 16 days, the only day with even a whisper of hope is Saturday the 1st of August, and that’s a long shot. If you know this place, you know it’ll come around again.
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.
