The Lowdown
Alright, I’ll level with you. There’s no surf worth paddling out for in the next 16 days at Spew Pits. It’s a reef setup that only works on a clean NNW swell and consistent offshore winds, and we just don't get that combination in this window.
The swell flags up as poor across every single session. The direction is mostly N or NNE, not the preferred NNW, so it’s coming in wrong. Wave heights stay small, from 1 ft up to 5 ft, with periods mostly short around 7-8 seconds – that’s windswill, not proper groundswell. The combined energy values (between 32 and 334) tell the story: most days are weak to moderate at best, with nothing firing.
From now through to the end of August, every morning and afternoon shows either cross or cross-off winds, at 9-22 mph. That’s not terrible, but it’s not clean offshore either. The water temp is about average for the time of year – nothing wild.
There are no standout days. The 27th of August morning has the biggest swell at 5 ft with a 7-second period and cross-off NNE wind at 22 mph, but the energy’s still only 262 (moderate) and the swell angle is wrong. The 28th of August afternoon shows 5 ft, but it’s a N swell with cross wind, lumpy and choppy – that’s more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddle session.
Honestly, a blank run like this is not unusual for Spew Pits. It’s a picky break. The forecast is consistent in the wrong way. But, sometimes things shift – forecasts can change, and it tends not to stay flat forever.
