The Lowdown

Right, gather 'round, let's have a look at what's on the menu. The only game in town for the whole sixteen-day stretch is Spew Pits, a heavy, expert-only reef. Don't get your hopes up just yet, because the first week is a real flat spell. We're staring down the barrel of a long, dry gap from July 18th right through to the early morning of the 26th, with barely a ripple to speak of.

The water is a balmy 73°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you won't need the thickest rubber.

The first hint of life shows up on the morning of the 26th, with a bump in the energy (600) and a 6ft swell from the north, but even then the cross-off wind has it labeled as marginal. The afternoon sees the energy build to 854, and the swell picks up to 6ft with a slightly longer period of 9 seconds. It's still not clean, but it's a start.

Then, on the 27th, we get a proper pulse. The swell jumps to 8ft from the north-northeast, with the energy cranking up to 863. The wind is a moderate cross-off from the north-northeast, and the period is a solid 9 seconds. This is the standout window. The size is in the top end of the expert zone, and for a reef like Spew Pits, that's where the magic happens. The morning of the 28th keeps the energy high at 767 with a 7ft swell, but the wind goes cross-shore, so it won't be quite as clean.

The real sweet spot is the morning of the 27th. That's the one. The size is chunky, the direction is feeding the reef perfectly, and the wind is holding offshore. Be prepared for a crowd, though, because this spot can get busy when it's on.

The energy backs off through the end of the month and into August, with the swell dropping below 7ft. The afternoon of August 1st shows a glimmer of hope with "expect good surf conditions" on a 5ft north swell, but the rest of the window is a mix of marginal and poor. It's a case of make hay while the sun shines on the 27th, because after that, it's a slow fade.

Rusty.

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.

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.
