The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s be straight – it’s been a tough watch for the foreseeable future at Spew Pits. The next 16 days are pretty much a write-off. The swell’s there in size, but the wind is just relentless, coming mostly from the NNE through N, keeping conditions cross to cross-offshore and messy. There’s no standout sessions on the cards, no glassy windows, nothing worth chasing for a paddle surfer.
Starting off Wednesday the 22nd of July, we’ve got a 5ft north swell with a short 7-second period, but a fresh 19 mph NNE breeze has it cross-off and ugly. Water temp is sitting at 72°, about normal for this time of year. The combined swell energy is moderate (204), but it doesn’t matter when the wind’s on it like that.
Thursday the 23rd through to Sunday the 26th, the swell builds from 5ft up to 7ft, period dragging up to 8 seconds, and combined energy climbing into the moderate to strong range (464 to 527). But again – winds are 19 to 25 mph from the NNE, keeping it cross-off or straight cross. This is more of a kite session setup than anything you’d want to paddle into. For experts only if they’re desperate, but it’s not clean.
From Monday the 27th through to the end of the first week and into early August, swell drops back to 4ft to 5ft, period stays short at 7 to 8 seconds, and the wind remains a problem – mostly moderate to fresh breezes from the N and NNE, cross or cross-off. The odd “clean” wave comment pops up, but it’s still poor surf conditions with a cross-chop or lumpy texture. Combined energy drops into the 183 to 312 range – weak to moderate.
By the second week, from Sunday the 2nd of August onward, swell sticks around 3ft to 6ft, period never getting above 8 seconds, and the wind stays moderate to fresh from the N, NE, or NNE. There’s a tiny flicker on Wednesday the 5th of August morning – marginal surf with a NE 12 mph cross-off breeze, 4ft north swell, and a 6-second period. Energy is weak (230). It’s not good, just less bad. But I wouldn’t bother.
Honestly, these blank runs happen here. Spew Pits needs a proper window of clean conditions, and this 16-day outlook doesn’t give us one. If you’re desperate, keep an eye on the wind forecast, but as it stands – leave the board on the rack.
Rusty.
