The Lowdown
G'day, I'm Rusty, and I've got a good, hard look at the surf prospects for the coming weeks. Let's be straight up with you – this is a tough stretch for Spew Pits. It's a solid, expert-level reef break that wants a clean, solid NNW swell, but the forecast is a bit of a mess.
Right now, the water temperature is sitting at 76°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you might not need the thickest rubber.
The first real chance of a wave tips up on Saturday the 29th of August. We're looking at a 6 ft swell from the north, with a period of 11 seconds pumping in moderate energy (929). That's a solid, punchy wave for the experts. The wind is a cross-off from the NNE, which will keep the surface clean. The Saturday afternoon session will be similar, with a 6 ft swell. It's not a standout, but it's the best on offer in the near term.
After that, it's a grim run. From Sunday the 30th right through to the end of the first week of September, the swell drops and the wind stays cross or cross-off, keeping conditions poor. The combined energy dips into the low hundreds (200-300 range), so it's weak.
The second week is not much better. We see a little spike around Friday the 11th of September, with a 5 ft to 5 ft north swell, but the period is short at 8 seconds, and the wind is cross-shore, making for a chop. The energy picks up a bit (322-448 range), but it's still a marginal, messy situation.
The long period (12 second) swell that shows up on Monday the 7th of September is only 1 ft – a tease, not a ride.
Honestly, the only half-decent window is that Saturday the 29th of August, with a clean, 6 ft north swell. For a reef break like Spew Pits, that's a proper session for the crew who know what they're doing. Everything else is a write-off. Don't hold your breath.
Rusty.
