Alright, let’s talk in feet and miles. Lookin’ at Spew Pits, it’s gonna be a tough slog for a while. This is a reef for experts only, and the early outlook is pretty poor.
For the first week, right through to around Saturday July 12th, the swell is tiny – mostly under 3 feet – and the wind is either cross or cross-off. It’s clean sometimes, but the wave energy is weak, with numbers like 19 to 98 (weak combined swell energy). Water temp is about 71°, which is only about a degree warmer than average, nothing wild. But there’s just no real surf to speak of. Don’t bother.
Then on Sunday July 12th afternoon, we get a little bump: 4ft from the NNW, 9-second period, and combined energy at 210 (moderate). The wind is cross-off from the NNE, so it’ll be clean. It’s the first decent look, but still only a 1 out of 10 – just “marginal.”
The real standout, and the only one I’d highlight, is Sunday July 19th and Monday July 20th. This is more than a week out, so it’s promising but not a sure thing. On Sunday morning the 19th, we’re lookin’ at 6ft from the NNE (the right direction for this spot), 7-second period, and clean cross-off winds. Combined energy is 355 (strong). The score hits a 1, which is the best in the whole run. At 6ft, it’s expert territory. Monday the 20th morning is even bigger at 6ft from the NNE, 8-second period, and a massive 462 combined energy (very strong), with clean cross-off conditions again. That’s your window, but it’s strictly for the pros.
Crowds can show up at Spew Pits sometimes, so if that swell fires, expect company. The spot is inconsistent, so a day like that is gold.
Bottom line: first week is a dud. A small, clean chance on the 12th, but keep your eyes on the 19th and 20th of July. That’s where the hope is.

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.
