The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's get straight into it for the local stretch.
We're looking at a pretty grim run ahead at Spew Pits, which is the only game in town according to the charts. Honestly, there's almost nothing to get excited about for the next couple of weeks. The forecast is basically a long, drawn-out period of onshore or cross-shore winds that will keep things messy and unappealing. There's a bit of swell around, but the wind just won't play ball.
For the first week, from the 30th of August right through to the 5th of September, it’s mostly a write-off. We've got a moderate cross-off breeze and chest-high swell from the north on the Sunday morning, but with 25 km/h winds, it's a choppy mess (combined energy of 392). Afternoons get worse as the wind swings cross-shore. This pattern just repeats day after day. You'll see the occasional morning with cleaner conditions, but with moderate breezes and weak, short-period swell, the quality is just not there. By the 5th of September, the swell drops to about 3 ft. There's light offshore wind on the Saturday morning, but the swell is weak and a bit on the short side.
We then hit a real flat patch. The 6th and 7th of September offer nothing that would make you want to paddle out. It's small, weak, and inconsistent.
Moving into the second week, there's a tiny pulse on the 8th of September (Tuesday) with a clean offshore wind, but the swell is only about 2 ft and from the east with a short period. Not worth the drive. The next slight glimmer is on the morning of the 11th of September (Friday). We get a jump in size to about shoulder-high from the north, with a longer 11-second period and a big jump in energy (828). The wind is a moderate cross-off, keeping it clean. This is actually the best looking window across the entire 16 days, but the morning session will be the only window as the afternoon wind shifts and chops it up. The 12th and 13th of September are back to a moderate breeze, making a mess of what could be a fun wave.
The final day, the 14th of September, shows a light cross-off breeze and a clean looking 3 ft swell. The energy is moderate (279), but the swell is short period and small.
The cold water is about what you'd expect for this time of year, nothing unusual.
Overall, take the Friday the 11th of September morning as your best bet, but the rest of the month is for checking your gear. The area is exposed, but without the right wind, it’s just a washing machine.

Information about the Spew Pits Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Spew Pits provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Spew Pits can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Spew Pits surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Spew Pits) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
