The Lowdown

Grab your board and let’s talk about the next couple of weeks. It’s a bit of a slow burn right now, but there’s a glimmer of something better on the horizon. We’re looking at a patchy start, a few days of ordinary conditions, and then a possible pulse of proper swell later on. Don’t get too worked up about the next week, but keep an eye on the end of the run.

Right off the bat, it’s frustrating out there. The first few days are pretty bleak. Sure, there’s a wave, but it’s small and junky. Tuesday the 8th has a bit of swell, 3ft coming from the NW with a 12-second period, but the energy is weak, only 275. It’s clean, but there’s just nothing on it. The wind is a cross-off, which is nice, but the surf just isn’t doing its part.

The middle of this first week is a write-off. The swell drops, the period shortens to 7 or 8 seconds, and the energy just bleeds away. It’s poor, choppy, and lumpy, just messy conditions through Friday. You’d be fighting for scraps.

Saturday the 12th sees a bump in size to 6ft, but it’s still a short-period, windblown mess. The energy gets a bit more interesting, hitting 542, but the wind switches to a cross and it just chops everything up. Not worth the paddle.

Then, on Sunday the 13th, things get a little more interesting. The size backs off to 4ft but the wind drops to almost nothing – a light cross-off. It’s clean, glassy, and you’ll get some fun, rippable waves. The period is still short at 8 seconds, but it’s surfable. It’s the best we’ve had, but it’s still pretty ordinary. Monday the 14th is similar, with a cleaner 3ft and the period stretching out to 13 seconds, which is a step in the right direction.

After that, it’s a flat spell. From Tuesday the 15th all the way through to Monday the 21st, it’s mostly a washout. The swell dips down to 1ft or 2ft at times, the period stays short and jumbled. There’s a lot of cross and cross-off wind, but no power. This is a long, boring stretch with nothing to recommend.

But hold on. There’s a light at the end of the tunnel. Around the 22nd of September, the charts start to light up. A proper groundswell is looking likely from the NNW. The swell is forecast to be 4ft to 5ft, but the period is what gets the heart racing – 15 to 16 seconds. This is a long-period swell, and the combined energy readings are strong, between 707 and 744.

This is where the break comes into its own, Spew Pits, an expert-only reef. This long-period swell is perfect for a reef, wrapping in with real power. It’s an exposed spot, and it likes it from the NNW, which is exactly what we’re being shown. The catch is that the winds for the 22nd are still moderate and cross-off, which isn’t perfect. It’s going to be a big, powerful day, and there’s a chance it’s a bit of a washing machine. This is one for the experienced crew only. It’s a promising outlook, but it’s far enough out that we should treat it with a bit of caution. It’s the clear standout of the period though.

So, keep the board waxed. The next week is going to be a grind, but that pulse on the 22nd could be something special.

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.
