The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, checking in on the surf for the next couple of weeks.
The water is running a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, around 75°F at Spew Pits.
Let's be straight with you: the first few days are flat and ugly. Small waves, cross-shore breezes, and very weak energy. You're not missing anything until the end of the week.
Now, here's the first real hope. On Monday, August 24th, we see a 5ft swell from the NNW, with a 12-second period and moderate energy. The wind is a clean cross-offshore in the morning, which will make for some decent, clean lines. It's a bit marginal, but it's the best we've got.
That swell builds through the afternoon, hitting 5ft at 13 seconds with strong energy. The wind turns cross-shore, so the afternoon will get a bit lumpy. Stick with the morning of the 24th.
After that, it's a bit of a lull before the next pulse. Around the 28th of August, the swell picks up again, but it's a different story. The size jumps to 7ft from the north, but the period is a short 8 seconds, and the wind is howling at 22 mph. That's a whole lot of wind and chop. At that size, it's for experts only, and it's going to be a battle.
This windy, messy pattern hangs around. The best of the big-swell days looks like Monday morning, August 31st, with 7ft swell from the north, a 9-second period, and a clean cross-offshore breeze. The energy is strong, but the waves will still be a bit junky from the short period. It's the cleanest of the big, messy days.
So, to sum it up: your best bet is the morning of Monday, August 24th. Get on that 5ft, clean groundswell. After that, you're waiting for a cleaner window in the bigger, wind-blown stuff, and it just doesn't really arrive. Keep your expectations honest.
Rusty.

Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. 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.
