The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s coming up for Spew Pits.
We’ve got a solid window of surf on the way, but it’s a slow burner at the start. The pick of the whole 16-day stretch is Monday the 14th of September. That morning, the conditions are as good as it gets: glassy, clean, with a 2ft swell from the NNW and a period of 13 seconds. The wave energy is moderate (211) and the water temp is about average for this time of year. For an expert reef, this is a beautiful, clean session where the long period will really push through nicely. It’s a true standout.
After that, the wind turns onshore and the quality drops fast. Tuesday morning the 15th is surfable but ordinary with a 2ft NNW swell and cross-offshore wind, clean but weak. From Wednesday the 16th onwards, there’s a long run of poor conditions with moderate to fresh cross-shore winds and messy, lumpy waves, even though the swell size bumps up to 5ft on Thursday and Friday. The energy gets up to moderate (544 on Friday morning), but the wind just kills it – that’s more of a kite session than paddle surfing, especially with that short period (7-10 seconds) making it choppy.
We do get a glimmer of hope again on Sunday the 21st of September. Monday morning the 21st, the wind is gentle and cross-offshore with a 2ft NNW swell at 12 seconds, and the conditions are clean with good wave energy (266). It’s a decent session, not a standout like the 14th, but worth a paddle.
After that, it’s mostly marginal or poor until the end of the period. The energy picks up to strong levels around Tuesday the 22nd (575) and again on the morning of Saturday the 26th (579) with 4ft NW swells, but the wind stays cross-shore or cross-offshore, keeping things from getting truly good. Late in the run, around Monday the 28th and Tuesday the 29th, we see moderate to fresh cross-offshore winds and 4ft to 4ft NNW swells with moderate energy (458-538), but the conditions are still just marginal.
So, bottom line: if you can get out Monday morning the 14th, do it. That’s the one. After that, it’s a patchy, windy week and a half with only a few clean but smaller windows.
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.
