The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight up about Spew Pits. We’ve got a long, pretty grim run ahead for the next couple of weeks. The water’s sitting at 72.1°F, which is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The pattern for the next week and a half is dominated by persistent, strong northerly winds. This blows straight cross to cross-off at Spew Pits, and with a north swell, it’s just not gonna line up. The swell is all short-period windswell, mostly hanging around 3ft to 6ft, but the real killer is the wind. From Friday the 24th of July right through to Thursday the 6th of August, it’s mostly a fresh breeze at 15-22 mph out of the north-northeast or north. The combined energy kicks around (359-447) early on, which is moderate energy, but it’s messy and unsurfable. The wave comments say it all: “poor surf conditions” across the board. Don’t even think about paddling out; this setup looks way more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
There’s a tiny flicker of hope on Saturday the 1st of August. The wind drops to a gentle breeze from the NNE at 9 mph in the morning, and the swell swings to the WNW at 3ft with a 9-second period. Combined energy is still weak (174), and it’s rated as “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” It’s clean, but small and weak. Honestly, it’s a marginal window at best.
Around Monday the 3rd of August, we see another pulse. The swell shifts to the NNW with a 10-second period and 3ft, and combined energy jumps to 281, but it’s still cross-shore wind. Then Tuesday the 4th of August morning, the swell bumps up to 5ft from the north at 8 seconds, and it’s clean with moderate breeze (16 mph). But again, it’s only a “marginal” call, and the wind ramps up again in the afternoon.
The standout here? There isn’t a true, clean, firing day in the whole run. If I had to pick the best of a bad bunch, it would be Saturday the 1st of August morning. You might find a few little fun ones with the WNW swell and lighter wind, but don’t expect much. After that, the northerly wind just keeps blowing through to the 8th of August, keeping everything cross and messy.
It’s a tough stretch. Hang in there.
