The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here again. Let’s be honest, the next couple of weeks around Spew Pits are a proper drought. The first week plus is pretty much a waste of time unless you’re just desperate to get wet. The swell’s small and weak, and the wind is mostly cross or cross-off, keeping things lumpy and uninviting. Your best bet is way out there on Friday the 11th of September.
From the 28th of August right through to the 5th of September, it’s a grind. The swell never gets above 6ft, and the period is mostly in the 7-8 second range, which doesn’t give you any power. The morning of the 29th has a bit longer period at 11 seconds, but it’s still only 6ft and the wind is cross-off, so it’s not doing much. The energy is moderate, peaking around 929 that morning, but it’s not translating to anything rideable.
The 30th and 31st see the swell drop to 5ft, and the 1st through the 4th, we’re down to 5ft or less with weak energy readings, sometimes down to just 114. The wind is a constant cross or cross-on mess. There’s no magic here.
The 6th of September is the flattest point, with the swell down to a couple of feet. The 7th has a tease with a long-period 13-second groundswell, but it’s only 2ft high. The morning is clean with a light cross-off, but there’s no size. It’s a good sign for the future, but not for today. The energy is moderate (260), but it’s a non-event.
The 8th and 9th bring back a little more size to around 4-5ft, but the period drops off again, and the winds are just not right. Marginal at best.
So, the one to circle is the morning of Friday the 11th of September. The swell is 5ft from the N with a 10-second period, and the wind is a moderate NNE cross-off. It’s going to be clean, and the energy is strong at 600. That’s your standout. The afternoon turns to a messy cross-shore, so get your session in early. The 12th has a clean morning too, with a 12-second period, but the swell is smaller at 4ft.
It’s a long wait. For most of this period, the weak, short-period swell and relentless side-shore wind means the setup is more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer. But there’s a window of hope in the second week. Keep an eye on it.
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.
