The Lowdown

Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.

Well, I gotta be straight with you – this outlook is a tough one. We’ve got a solid 16-day window ahead, but honestly, it’s a real grind for clean, quality waves at Spew Pits. The whole period is dominated by a persistent northerly wind flow, which is just wrong for this spot. It’s a reef break that needs that optimum NNW swell direction, and we’re seeing a constant stream of N and NNE swells that just don’t line up. The water’s sitting at 74°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only bright spot.

The first real chance to even paddle out comes on Thursday the 6th of August, but it’s a no-go. We’ve got a 3ft N swell at a short 6 seconds, and a fresh 19 mph NNE cross-offshore breeze. The combined energy is weak (179), and the call is poor surf conditions. That pretty much sets the tone for the next week. The swell bumps up a bit through the weekend, hitting 5ft from the N on Saturday the 8th, but the wind stays cross or cross-off from the north, leaving the surface with a lumpy cross-chop. The energy is moderate (292 on Saturday morning), but it just doesn’t matter with the wind against it.

We see a little shift around Wednesday the 12th of August afternoon, where the swell drops to 2ft but turns from the WNW with a 9-second period and a clean cross-off wind. The energy is weak (85), and it’s still a “poor surf” call. It’s a tease, really. The whole first week and a half is a write-off for decent surfing. Every single day is labeled “poor surf conditions” until we get to Saturday the 15th of August morning, where the call upgrades to “marginal.” That’s not a ringing endorsement, but it’s the best we’ve seen.

The standout, if you can call it that, comes on Saturday the 15th of August morning. We’ve got a 5ft swell from the NNE at 7 seconds, with a moderate 16 mph NNE cross-offshore breeze. The combined energy is moderate (254), and the conditions are clean. It’s the only time in the entire forecast that the conditions are even close to surfable. It’s a reef break, so the long period is not a factor here, but the short period means the waves won’t have much punch. It’s still a marginal call, so don’t expect much. Sunday the 16th morning is also marginal, with a similar 5ft NNE swell, but the wind is the same, and it’s still just a 1 out of 10 rating.

Other than those two mornings, the rest of the run is a total blank. From the 6th through the 21st of August, there are maybe two sessions that are even worth a look. The northerly winds just never let up, and the swell direction never swings far enough to the NNW to light up the reef. The energy is moderate for most of the second week, with values between 200 and 274, but it’s all for nothing with the wrong wind. For a spot that’s consistent, this is a real bummer. It’s not a normal pattern, so keep an eye on the forecasts – something might shift.

This is Rusty, signing off.
