The Lowdown

Alright, this is a tough one to call, but I’ll give it to you straight. Rusty here, and I’ve been staring at the charts for the only spot on the menu – Spew Pits. It’s a heavy, expert-only reef break that’s exposed to the north-northwest, and it’s mainly consistent. The water’s sitting at 72°, which is pretty much average for the time of year, so no surprises there.

Right now, we’re in a real dry spell. The first proper day on offer is Thursday the 23rd, but don’t get excited. We’ve got a 5ft north swell rolling in with a short, weak 7-second period. The combined energy is only moderate (240), and we’re dealing with a fresh 19 mph cross-offshore breeze. The report says poor surf conditions, and a score of 0 out of 10 backs that up. It’s messy.

Friday the 24th through Sunday the 27th sees a bit more size – up to 7ft on Saturday morning – but the wind hangs in there as a fresh cross-offshore, and the period stays short (7-8 seconds). The energy climbs into the moderate range (up to 487), but it’s still all marked as poor surf conditions. This is expert territory with that size, but the quality just isn’t there.

We hit a real low point from Monday the 28th of July all the way through to Friday the 7th of August. That’s a solid 10-day gap with nothing worth paddling out for. The swell drops right off – down to 1ft by the end – and the wind is mostly cross or cross-onshore. The energy readings fall from 185 down to just 53, which is weak. The closest thing to a positive note is a couple of “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions” on Saturday the 1st of August morning and Monday the 3rd of August morning, with a 3ft and 2ft swell respectively. The Saturday morning has a light 6 mph cross-offshore, so it’s clean, but that’s about the only window you’d even consider. Even then, it’s a 3ft, 7-second north swell – not exactly lighting the world on fire.

The long-range stuff around the 4th and 5th of August sees a little pulse from the northwest with a longer period (10 seconds), but it’s tiny (2ft to 3ft) and cross-shore winds keep it from being anything special. For a reef like Spew Pits, you need power and direction, and this stretch just doesn’t have it.

To be honest, this is a blank run for the area. A rare, inconsistent spot like this often goes quiet, and this is one of those times. The forecasts can always change, but right now, I’d say leave the board in the car and go do something else. There’s nothing here that’s a standout.
