The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking.
First up, we’ve got Spew Pits. This is an expert-level reef break, and it’s consistent, which is a start. The optimum swell direction is NNW, and we’re seeing a lot of north and north-northeast swell running through the whole period. The real problem is the wind. It’s coming from the north and northeast, which is a cross-off or cross-shore direction for this spot. That’s not clean, clean surf. It’s going to be a bit of a fight with the breeze, and the morning sessions are the only ones that look remotely clean, but even then, the wind is a fresh breeze, 15 to 19 mph. That’s a lot of chop for a reef.
The wave energy is moderate to strong, with values like 134 to 384 (combined energy of all swells directed here). The swell height is mostly in the 4 ft to 6 ft range, which is a solid size for experts, but too big for most. The period is short, mostly 6 to 8 seconds, so it’s not going to have that long, lined-up, groundswell feel. It’s more of a windswell, and it’s not going to be the best shape.
Thursday the 5th of August kicks off with a poor surf condition rating. The swell is 4 ft from the north, period 6 seconds, and the wind is a cross-off 19 mph. It’s not great.
The best I can see is maybe the morning of Saturday the 15th of August. The swell is 6 ft from the north, period 8 seconds, and the wind is a cross-off fresh breeze. The energy is strong at 370. But even then, it’s not a standout. The wind is still a problem.
Honestly, I can’t call any of these a standout. The wind is just too strong from the wrong direction for too long. This is a stretch of poor surf. The setup is more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, given the cross-shore wind and moderate swell. If you’re an expert and you’re desperate, you might get a few in the morning, but it’s not going to be memorable.
Rusty.
