The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at the coming weeks.
It’s a pretty lean stretch ahead, I won’t lie to you. For the first week or so, there’s just nothing doing. The swell is there, but it’s a messy, short-period northerly windswell and the winds are just all wrong – mostly cross or cross-off. It’s going to be lumpy and disappointing right through until about the 7th of September, and even then it’s only just sneaking into marginal territory.
The first real glimmer of hope shows up on Tuesday the 8th of September. Spew Pits will see some clean conditions for the first time in ages, with a moderate east offshore wind grooming the surface. The swell holds at around 4ft from the north with a period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy is a modest 337 – not big juice, but with that offshore wind, it’ll be the cleanest wave of the forecast. This is a consistent, expert reef break so it won’t be crowded, but it's only for the experienced crew given the reef.
After that little window, it goes back to being frustrating. The wind stays onshore or cross-shore, the swell drops off, and by the 14th we’re into the doldrums with weak, short-period leftovers. The only other bright spot is Wednesday the 16th of September, where we get a slightly longer-period northwest swell at 10 seconds, but the swell height is small at around 3ft and the wind is cross. It’s a tease more than anything.
So, the standout here is that Tuesday afternoon, the 8th of September, at Spew Pits. Snag that window if you can. After that, you’re waiting and hoping.
Rusty.

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.
