The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I’ve been chewing on the charts for Spew Pits. Let’s be honest, the outlook is a tough one for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, we’ve got a bit of a wait. The forecast starts with nothing ridable for the first few days. Sunday the 26th through to the end of July is a write-off. We’re looking at a solid gap of about five days before things even start to look slightly interesting. The swell is there, but the wind is just junk – cross and cross-offshore breezes in the 22 to 22 mph range are tearing the surface to pieces. It’s clean in terms of no rain, but it’s a lumpy mess.
The first real glimmer of hope comes on Saturday the 1st of August. Saturday morning, the wind drops right out to a light breeze from the NE at 6 mph, giving us clean conditions. The swell is a modest 3 ft from the N, with a short period of 7 seconds. The combined energy is weak (145), so it’s not going to be powerful, but it’s surfable. The water temp is sitting at 72°, which is pretty normal for the time of year, so no major surprises there.
Through the first week of August, things are still marginal. The wind stays mostly cross-offshore from the NNE, but it’s still blowing 12-19 mph. The swell picks up a bit, hitting 4 ft to 5 ft from the N, with periods of 8 seconds. The energy builds into the moderate range (232 to 425), but the conditions are just “ordinary” or “marginal” – still not a day you’d call in sick for.
Then, we get to the highlight. The best window in the whole 16-day run is shaping up around Thursday the 6th of August. Thursday morning, the wind eases to a gentle 9 mph breeze from the NE, making it clean again. The swell is 4 ft from the N with an 8-second period, and the combined energy is a solid 279. It’s not a monster, but it’s the best pulse we’ve seen with the best wind. For a break that’s exposed to the NNW swell, this N direction is a decent match. This is the standout – the only session that’s really worth paddling out for.
After that, things get a bit unpredictable. The swell picks up towards the second week. By Saturday the 8th of August, we’re seeing 5 ft to 5 ft from the N, but the period jumps to 11-12 seconds. That’s a long-period groundswell heading into a reef break, which is a good thing. It’ll have more energy (643-663), but the wind is back up to 19-22 mph from the NNE. That’s a lot of wind for a clean session. It’s a promising setup for experts, but the wind could make it a battle. Come Sunday the 9th, the swell hits 6 ft, which is borderline for anyone but experienced surfers, and the wind is still howling.
Overall, the only real day to get excited about is Thursday, the 6th of August. The rest of the time, it’s either too windy, the swell is too small, or the conditions are just messy. The long-range stuff on the 8th and 9th is a tease, but it’s a long way out and the wind is a worry.
Stay patient, and keep your eyes on that Thursday morning slot.
Rusty.
