The Lowdown
Righto, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s lined up at Spew Pits.
Honestly, the outlook for the next couple of weeks is a long, drawn-out grind. We’re looking at a stretch where the surf is pretty lacklustre for the most part, with only a couple of moments that might get your heart rate up.
The first real day to even bother checking is Tuesday the 8th. The swell creeps up to 5 ft from the north, with an 8-second period, and the combined energy is sitting at 508 (moderate wave energy). The wind is cross-offshore, so it’ll be clean. It’s a reef break, which is good for that longer period, but at that size, this is for experts only. Over 5 ft and onto 8 ft, you need to know what you’re doing. I wouldn’t say it’s a standout, more like the first sniff of anything surfable.
Thursday the 10th and Friday the 11th see the swell drop back to 4 ft to 4 ft, but the wind turns cross-shore, which will put a chop on the face. Not ideal.
Now, the standout in this whole 16-day window is the very end. Look at Friday the 18th. The morning has a 3 ft north swell with a 10-second period, and the combined energy is 267 (moderate wave energy). The wind is a slight breeze, cross-off, and glassy. The wave comment says “expect good surf conditions,” and that’s the only time it says that. The swell direction is NNW, which matches the optimum for this reef. It’s a consistent spot, so it’ll be working. Crowds are “sometimes,” so you might have company, but it won’t be a zoo. That’s our pick. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing unusual to report.
Before that, from the 12th to the 17th, it’s back to small, weak, ordinary surf with swell heights mostly below 3 ft and combined energy under 200. A real dry spell.
So, don’t hold your breath until the 18th. That Friday morning is your genuine window for clean, shapey waves at Spew Pits. Before that, it’s mostly a waiting game.
Rusty.

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.
