The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
First up, I’m looking at Spew Pits. This is a heavy, expert-only reef setup, and it’s the only break on the cards for the next couple of weeks. The good news is that it’s consistent, so it’s trying to put on a show. But honestly, the first week and a half is a bit of a write-off. The wind is howling from the NNE at 18 to 22 mph, producing a cross-off wind that’s just too strong for quality surfing. The swell is there, sitting around 4.6 ft to 6.6 ft from the north, but the period is short, mostly 7 to 8 seconds, so it’s weak and disorganised. The combined wave energy is moderate, ranging from 204 to 465, but it’s all messy. The conditions are being called “poor surf conditions” right through until the end of July. There’s a lot of energy in the water, but it’s not translating into good waves.
Come Saturday, August 1st, things start to look up. The morning is still a bit marginal, but by the afternoon the wind drops to a gentle 9 mph from the NNE, and it’s blowing cross-off, cleaning things right up. The swell is 5.6 ft from the north, still short-period at 8 seconds, but the energy is decent at 390. This is the first time I’d say, “Yeah, get out there.” The waves will be clean and rideable, but it’s not a standout.
The real standout, and the one I’m most excited about, is Sunday, August 2nd, in the morning. The wind is a light 6 mph from the north, just a light cross-shore with a slight ripple. That’s about as glassy as you’ll get. The swell jumps up to 7.5 ft from the north, with a period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy is a solid 799. That’s moderate but pushing strong. This is expert territory at over 8 ft, but it’s the best on offer. The tide and conditions are still a little marginal, but with that light wind, it’s your best bet for a proper session. Just be aware that crowds are possible at this spot.
After that, the window closes again. By Monday, August 3rd, the wind picks up and the swell drops off. The second week of August sees smaller, long-period swells (12-13 seconds) coming in from the north, but the wind is either cross or cross-on, and the energy is weak. It’s a classic case of a blank run for this area when the trade winds don’t cooperate.
So, if you’re an expert, pencil in the morning of Sunday, August 2nd. That’s the call. The rest of the forecast is a waiting game.
