The Lowdown
Hey everyone, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s cooking at Spew Pits. This isn’t the kind of spot you just paddle out at on a whim—it’s a reef setup that demands respect, and it’s only for experts. We’ve got a bit of a slow start, with the first real action showing up on Saturday the 29th of August.
That Saturday morning, we’ve got a solid 6 ft of north swell rolling in with a period of 11 seconds. The wave energy is sitting at 929, which is in that strong range, and the water is running at 76°, a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. The wind is a cross-off from the NNE at 19 mph, keeping the surface clean, but that’s a fresh breeze, so you’ll feel it. The swell direction is spot-on for the optimum coming from the NNW, but with this being an exposed reef, you’re looking at serious power. At 6 ft, it’s pushing past beginner territory, and honestly, with the reef below, this is strictly for the experienced crew. Keep in mind, a 11-second period swell like this has longer gaps between sets, giving you time to get out back, but when they come, they’ll be well-shaped and punchy. Crowds are sometimes an issue here, so you might have a few others in the lineup.
By Saturday afternoon, the swell drops slightly to 6 ft, energy falls to 657, and the wind holds steady. It’s still clean, but the consistency is solid. The surf stays marginal through the weekend and into Monday, with the swell dropping to 5 ft on Sunday and the period shortening to 9 seconds, then to 8 seconds. The energy drops below 400, and the wind stays cross-off, but the quality isn’t there. We’re looking at poor conditions right through until the end of the first week of September.
Now, after a long stretch of nothing good, things finally start looking up around Tuesday the 8th of September. That Tuesday morning, we get a proper offshore wind from the east at 9 mph, and the swell is 4 ft from the north with an 8-second period. The energy is 294, which is moderate, but that offshore flow will make the reef glassy and clean. This is a standout session—clean, groomed waves with that little extra push from the wind. The afternoon stays good too, with 5 ft swell and lighter cross-off winds. Thursday the 10th of September also looks tasty, with 5 ft swell and very light winds out of the northeast. That’s another clear, clean window.
The best of the bunch, though, is that Tuesday the 8th through Thursday the 10th stretch. It’s not massive, but with the wind playing ball, Spew Pits will offer up some proper shaped waves. Remember, this reef needs that north-northwest direction, and we’re getting north, so it’s a good match. The short period (8 seconds) means waves are more frequent but less powerful, which actually suits this spot—it won’t be too straight or dumpy.
If you’re looking for the top pick, I’d put my money on Tuesday the 8th of September morning. That offshore breeze and clean water make it the best on offer in this whole outlook.
Stay sharp out there.
