G'day, I'm Rusty. Let's have a look at the 16-day forecast for this spot.
Alright, look, I'm gonna be straight with you – this is a rough stretch for Spew Pits. The whole 16-day window is a write-off for decent surf. From Thursday 9 July to Wednesday 23 July, every single session is rated as poor surf conditions. That's a solid two weeks of nothing to get excited about.
The first few days are a total no-go. Thursday 9 July and Friday 10 July have tiny, weak swell – we're talking 1 ft to 3 ft from the NW and N, with a short period of 5 to 10 seconds. The combined energy is weak (23 to 50), and it's all cross-shore wind. Saturday 11 July is the same story: 1 ft to 2 ft, weak energy (26 to 32), and a messy cross-shore breeze.
Sunday 12 July morning shows a bit of a lift with the combined energy jumping to 160 and a clean cross-off wind, but the swell is still just 3 ft from the NW, and the forecast still says "poor surf conditions." The pattern continues through the week: Monday 13 July has a morning clean window with 3 ft from the NNW, but again, it's a no-go. Tuesday 14 July and Wednesday 15 July are the same – clean winds but minute, weak swell, dropping to just 0.7 ft.
Then we get a pulse of swell from the 16th of July onwards. Thursday 16 July morning sees 6 ft from the NNE, but it's a short period of 7 seconds. The combined energy hits 357 – moderate wave energy – but the wind is a clean cross-off. However, the forecast still calls it poor. The same goes for Friday 17 July (5 ft from the N, 298 energy), Saturday 18 July (6 ft from the N, 446 energy), and Sunday 19 July (6 ft from the N, 394 energy). This swell is getting up to 6 ft, which is getting too big for beginners, and it's over 8 ft, so it's only for experts. The period is short (7 to 8 seconds), so it'll be weak and lumpy. The wind on the afternoons turns cross-shore and lumpy.
The last few days of the forecast, from 20 July to 24 July, the swell drops back down and the conditions remain poor. The only standout is that the winds are consistently a clean cross-off on the mornings, but it doesn't matter when the swell is tiny or the forecast says the surf is poor.
The best of a bad lot?
If you're absolutely desperate, the morning of Saturday 18 July might be the least bad option. You'll get a clean cross-off wind and 6 ft of swell from the N, with a combined energy of 446. But it's a short period, the break is a reef setup, and it's expert-only. The crowds are "sometimes" a factor here, so you might have it to yourself. For a true expert, that's the only window in the whole 16 days that even vaguely looks like it might hold a wave. But honestly, this blank run is more normal for this area – it tends to go quiet.

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.
