The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here, and I’ve got the local surf outlook for Spew Pits. This is a reef break that’s strictly for experts, and it’s a consistent spot that’s exposed to the swell. The water is sitting at 76°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year—nothing crazy, but it’s a nice little bonus.

Right now, we’re looking at a pretty grim run. The forecast starts with Sunday morning, 30 August, and it’s all poor surf conditions with a 5 ft swell from the north, a 9-second period, and a fresh cross-off breeze from the NNE at 19 mph. The combined energy is weak at 392, and the waves are clean but there’s just no quality to get excited about. This flat, disappointing pattern drags on through the rest of August and into the first week of September. Monday, 31 August, has a 5 ft north swell with a short 8-second period, and the wind stays cross-off but fresh. Tuesday, 1 September, drops to 4 ft with a 7-second period and a messy cross-shore wind. It’s a real struggle with no standout surf at all.

We hit a little bump on Wednesday, 2 September, when the swell pushes up to 6 ft from the north, still with a short 8-second period, and the combined energy climbs to 447—moderate but nothing special. The wind is cross-off in the morning, keeping it clean, but the surf conditions are still rated poor. That’s the biggest swell of the whole run, but it’s too short-period and messy to really fire. Then it fades fast. Thursday, 3 September, morning gets a glimmer with a 4 ft north swell, 8-second period, and a gentle cross-off breeze from the NNE at 9 mph—clean waves but only marginal surf conditions, so it’s a low-energy tease. The rest of the week and into the second week is a slow bleed: Friday, 4 September, sees 4 ft, Saturday, 5 September, drops to 3 ft, and by Sunday, 6 September, we’re at 3 ft. The combined energy slumps into the 100s, and the wind turns cross-on, making it choppy.

The second week doesn’t offer much redemption. From Monday, 7 September, through to the end of the 16-day window, the swell stays tiny—generally 2 ft to 4 ft—with periods mostly short (6 to 7 seconds) and weak combined energy values between 100 and 200. The wind is often cross-off, keeping it clean, but the waves are just too small and gutless to bother with. The only tiny highlight is Monday, 14 September, morning, when the wind shifts to a light ENE breeze at 6 mph, giving us clean conditions with a 3 ft north swell and a 6-second period, but the energy is still weak at 123 and the surf is only described as “surfable but very ordinary.” Even then, afternoon drops back to 2 ft and a longer 11-second period from the NW, but the energy is still low.

So, bottom line: there’s no standout surf in this whole 16-day run. The entire forecast is a blank stretch of poor to marginal conditions, with the biggest swell on 2 September being the only spike, and even that’s a dud. If you’re desperate, keep an eye on the forecasts—things can change fast—but right now, Spew Pits is a no-go for paddle surfing. The setup with the moderate swell and cross-onshore winds later on might actually be more interesting for kite surfing than anything else. Rusty out.

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.
