The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get this straight off the bat. The next 16 days are a bit of a tough stretch at Spew Pits. This is an expert-level reef break, so it’s not for the faint-hearted anyway, but honestly, the conditions are pretty grim for most of the period. The wind is almost always cross or cross-offshore from the north and northeast, which is not ideal for this spot, and the swell is mostly small or messy.
The first hint of anything surfable doesn’t show up until Tuesday morning, the 14th. Even then, it’s only 3ft of swell from the NNW, with a short 8-second period, and the combined energy is weak at 82. It’s clean, but really ordinary. You’d be better off waiting.
Things pick up a little around Friday, the 17th, into the weekend. The swell jumps to 5ft, but it’s coming from the NNE, and the period drops to a punchy, short 6-7 seconds. The energy is moderate – around 180. But the wind stays fresh and cross-off, so it’s going to be bumpy and hard to enjoy. That’s more of a kite-surfing setup than a good paddle day.
The second week is a bit of a broken record. From Monday, the 21st, through to the end of the period, the swell sticks around 4ft to 6ft from the north, with short period (7-8 seconds). The energy builds – on the 26th and 27th, it’s strong, with values over 300. But the wind stays cross or cross-off, and it’s always described as “poor surf conditions.” The size gets up to 6ft on the 26th, which is getting into the too-big-for-beginners range, but with that wind, it’s just not clean.
The only day that even flirts with being okay is Tuesday, the 21st in the afternoon, and Wednesday, the 22nd in the afternoon. The swell is 4ft from the north, 8-second period, and the energy is moderate (211 and 216). The wind is a moderate breeze, still cross-off, but it’s described as “marginal surf forecast.” It doesn’t get any better than that in this window.
Water temp is 73°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
Honestly, there’s no standout day here. The wind just won’t play ball, and the swell direction is never quite right for this reef. Keep your hopes low, and check back later.

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.
