The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get into it.
We've got a bit of a tricky window ahead at Spew Pits. The pattern starts with a pulse of moderate, long-period groundswell, but don't get too excited just yet – the wind is going to be a real pain for the first few days. The water is sitting at 76°F, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year.
The first solid chance we see is on Saturday, August 29th. We've got a solid 6ft groundswell from the north, with a period of 11 seconds. That's a nice, long period that'll bring some real energy. The combined swell energy is a moderate 929. The issue is the wind – it's a fresh 19 mph cross-off from the NNE. It's not ideal, but it keeps the surf clean. The swell is just over 5ft, so this is expert territory only. The wave comment says "marginal surf forecast or questionable tide conditions," so you'll need to pick your moment. Sunday and Monday drop off quickly in size and period, and the wind stays messy, making it pretty poor.
After that, we hit a long dry spell. From Sunday, August 30th all the way through to Friday, September 11th, the forecasts are consistently poor. The swell is small, the period is short, and the wind is either cross or cross-on, creating lumpy, choppy conditions. There's a brief blip of clean conditions on the morning of the 7th, but the swell is a tiny 2ft from the NNW with a 12-second period, which is too small and straight to do much at a reef. You'll be staring at a lot of flat, bumpy water.
The real standout, and the only one worth circling on your calendar, is Saturday, September 12th. The morning session shows a 6ft north swell with a 7-second period, and the combined energy is a moderate 298. The wind is a moderate 12 mph cross-off from the NNE, which will keep the surface clean. It's a short period, so the waves will be a bit steeper and more dumpy, but at a reef like Spew Pits, it can still offer some punchy barrels. The wave comment is "marginal surf forecast or questionable tide conditions," but this is the best we've got in the whole 16 days. The swell is over 5ft, so this is firmly for the experts again. Crowds are possible at this spot sometimes, so expect a few others with the same idea.
The following Sunday, the 13th, still has some size but the wind picks up, so that Saturday is your window.
This is a tough outlook for the area. It's a long stretch of poor quality, which is fairly normal for a quiet spell, but forecasts can always change. For now, keep your eyes on that Saturday the 12th.

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.
