The Lowdown
Alright, folks, let’s get into it. The outlook for this area is a bit of a story. We’ve got a run of days that are just not worth paddling out for, thanks to a mix of lousy wind and small, weak swell. The first real chance of anything decent doesn’t show up until Monday, September 7th, and even that’s marginal. Essentially, we’ve got a solid gap of no good surf from now until then.
The main event here is Spew Pits, a heavy expert reef break. This spot is consistent and exposed, but it needs a very specific window to line up. The water temp is around 75°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
Monday, September 7th sees a bump in energy, but it’s a tricky one. The morning has a cross-offshore breeze, which is a major positive, keeping the 2ft swell from the NNW clean. The period jumps to 12 seconds, giving it some groundswell punch. The combined energy is moderate (283). It’s a marginal call, though. Tuesday the 8th is similar in the morning – 3ft from the NW with a 12-second period and clean conditions, but the energy is still just moderate (381). Those two mornings are the best of a bad bunch early on.
The swell builds a bit through the end of the first week, but the wind turns more cross, and the period drops, so it stays messy and poor. By Saturday the 12th, the swell hits 5ft from the north with a short 8-second period, and the energy is strong (413). But the wind is cross, making it lumpy. This is a solid-sized wave for experienced surfers, but the quality is going to be a letdown.
After that, things really drop off. From the 14th of September onward, the swell fades hard, the period gets short, and the wind is mostly onshore or cross. We’re looking at tiny, weak waves with no energy. The 19th and 20th of September have a little 3ft north-northeast swell, but it’s blown out by onshore westerlies. It’s not worth the drive.
So, to wrap it up: the only real standouts are the Monday and Tuesday mornings (7th and 8th September). The swell is small, but the wind is clean, the period is long, and the break is exposed. It’s a specialists-only zone for experts, and the sets will be few and far between, but that’s the best we’ve got. Everything else is a write-off. Don’t hold your breath for the second week.
