The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. I won't lie to you – the next couple weeks look tough. This is a run where we just don’t see any clean, ridable surf with good wind lining up for Spew Pits. Everything in the forecast stays cross or cross-off, and the swell isn't doing us any favours.
Right now, on Wednesday the 15th, we’ve got a weak 2 ft N swell with a period of just 8 seconds and energy at only 61. That’s not even worth paddling for.
From Thursday the 16th through Monday the 28th, it’s a pretty blank run. Swell nudges up around 3 ft to 5 ft at times, and the combined energy climbs a bit – hitting 170 on the 19th and over 250 a few days later – but it’s all N or NNE wind. The wind is cross or cross-off the whole time, and often fresh to strong. The period stays short, mostly 6 to 8 seconds. The water temp is 73° with a slight warm anomaly, but that’s small comfort.
There’s a small window late on the 28th. Tuesday July 28th, morning and afternoon, we see a clean 6 ft N swell with a better period of 9 seconds and energy up over 500. Still cross-off wind though, 18 to 21 mph. The guidance calls it marginal, and honestly, for a reef break like Spew Pits, that wind direction and strength will put a nasty chop on the surface. For experts only, and even then it’s a gamble.
After that, Wednesday the 29th and Thursday the 30th bring 6 ft to 6 ft N swell, period around 8 seconds, but again, the wind stays cross, not offshore. The energy is high – 416 to 490 – but the conditions keep it poor.
So, if you’re looking for a standout, there isn’t one. Nothing here lines up clean. The entire 16-day window is essentially a blank for proper surf. It’s frustrating, I know. Best advice is to sit this one out and hope the next forecast shift brings the goods.

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.
