The Lowdown

Alright, grab a coffee, let’s talk Spew Pits in feet and miles per hour.

First off, the news ain’t good for the first week. From Friday the 17th all the way through Sunday the 26th of July, it’s a total dead zone. The wind is hammering at 19 to 22 mph from the north-northeast or north, and the swell is tiny and weak – combined energy values are mostly under 300 (moderate, but feels like nothing). The water’s about 73°, which is a touch warmer than normal for July, but that’s the only bright spot. It’s all “poor surf conditions” – no reason to paddle out.

Things start to turn around Monday the 27th of July. The swell climbs to about 6 ft from the north, with a period of 9 seconds. The energy hits the 500s (moderate), and the cross-off wind keeps the surface clean. It’s still “marginal” – maybe a tricky tide or a bit of chop – but it’s a sign of life. By Wednesday the 29th, we’re looking at 7 ft from the north, with energy jumping to 940 in the morning and a massive 1229 in the afternoon (strong). That’s proper grunt for a north swell, and the cross-off wind is still holding. This is a reef break, so it’ll eat that long-period energy and spit out some nice lines.

The real standout, though, is Saturday the 1st of August. That morning, we’ve got a 8 ft north swell with a 10-second period, energy at 1408 (strong), and the wind is a clean cross-off. The afternoon pushes to 8 ft with 1503 energy, but the wind turns cross, creating lumpy chop. That morning session is the one to chase. The crowd is “sometimes” busy, so expect a few locals, but the reef setup will handle the crowd. The swell direction is north, and the optimum for this spot is north-northwest, so it’s a good match. The wave height in the afternoon is over 8 ft, so that’s expert-only, and the morning is pushing it for anyone not solid.

So, to sum it up: the first week and a half is a hard pass. The action fires up from Monday the 27th, but the absolute best bet is Saturday the 1st of August morning. It’s a long-range promise, so don’t bank on it just yet, but that’s the one that’s got my hopes up.

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.

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.
