The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here, and I’ve got a look at what’s on offer for the next couple weeks.
Alright, straight up – we’ve got one spot to talk about, Spew Pits, and it’s a reef setup that’s strictly for experts. The water temperature is sitting at 23° – that’s pretty much normal for this time of year, nothing weird there. But honestly, this outlook is a tough read. We’re looking at a long dry spell of poor surf conditions right through the end of July.
From Saturday the 25th all the way through to Friday the 31st, it’s a full week of nothing worth paddling out for. The swell’s there but it’s all cross-off and cross winds, gusting from 15 to 22 mph, with a short period around 8 seconds. The combined swell energy hits a moderate peak of 454 on the Saturday afternoon, but with that wind tearing across, it’s just messy. The swell direction is mostly N to NNE, and remember, Spew Pits likes it from the NNW – so the angle’s off. No standout here, just a lot of chop and frustration.
We finally see a tiny flicker of hope on Saturday the 1st of August. The morning shows a clean surface with an offshore-ish wind from the NE at 12 mph, and the swell is 4 ft from the north, period 7 seconds. Combined energy is 232 – moderate – but the forecast calls it marginal at best. This is the closest thing we’ve got to a window, but it’s a long way from classic. Crowds are possible here sometimes, so you might not be alone if you go for it.
Sunday the 2nd is similar, morning clean with 4 ft from the north, 8-second period, and 246 combined energy. Again, marginal. Not a standout, just a maybe.
From Monday the 3rd through Thursday the 6th, it’s back to poor conditions, mostly cross winds and weak energy. On Thursday the 6th afternoon, the swell picks up to 6 ft from the north at 10 seconds, and the combined energy jumps to 585 – that’s strong. The wind is cross-off from the NNE at 19 mph, so it stays clean, but the direction is still off. This is the best-looking pulse in the whole forecast, but it’s still only a 1 out of 10 in the books. For a pro-level reef like Spew Pits, that’s not lighting any fires.
The rest of the second week (7th to 9th of August) holds 5 ft to 6 ft north swell, but the wind stays cross-off or cross, and the period drops back to 7-9 seconds. Energy stays moderate to strong, but the quality just isn’t there.
So, the honest truth: there’s no real standout session in this 16-day window. If I had to pick the least bad option, it’s the morning of Saturday the 1st of August, but even then, keep your expectations in check. Sometimes it just stays flat and windy for a stretch – that’s how it goes round here. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a waiting game.
Rusty.

Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Spew Pits may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself.
