The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break this down the other way. The outlook for Spew Pits over the next 16 days is a total bust for any decent surf.
Starting on Friday the 17th, we’ve got some small swell, around 3 to 4 feet from the NNE with a short, weak period of just 6 to 7 seconds. The combined energy is weak to moderate, in the 105 to 252 range. But the wind’s blowing a steady 18 to 22 mph from the NNE, which is cross-offshore. The water’s at 73°, which feels a touch warmer than normal for July. The surf is rated poor.
This pattern just repeats day after day. Swell sticks to 4 to 5 feet through the week, period barely reaches 8 seconds, and the wind never eases up. It’s 18 to 25 mph from the north or NNE, always cross or cross-off. The wave energy climbs to 394 to 427 by the 25th, but it’s still poor conditions. By Sunday the 26th, the swell jumps to around 8 feet from the NNE with a 9-second period, energy hits 910 – that’s strong. But the wind is 22 to 25 mph, and with that size, it’s a blown-out mess. This is expert-only, and honestly, it looks better for kite surfing.
The last week of July into August sees the swell drop back to 5 to 7 feet with the same 8- to 9-second period, but the wind stays cross or cross-off from the north or NNE at 12 to 25 mph. The energy sits between 372 and 523, still moderate, but the surf quality is consistently poor or marginal. No standout windows, no clean days.
So, there’s nothing to recommend here. The entire 16-day stretch is a blank run. Spew Pits is a consistent reef that works best with a NNW swell, but the persistent NNE wind is ruining everything. When the trades set in like this, it’s just how it goes. Forecasts can shift, but right now, not a single day is worth paddling out.
Rusty.
