The Lowdown
Alright, I’m Rusty again, and I’m calling it for Spew Pits.
We are looking at a long, rough patch here. From right now all the way until Thursday, August 27th, the waves are just no good. It’s all the same story: small, short-period northerly swell, mostly 3 to 4 ft, with the wind coming across or cross-off the shore from the north or north-northeast at about 12 to 15 mph. It just blows out the reef. The combined swell energy sits in that moderate range, but it never creates a wave worth paddling for.
The first real glimmer of hope is Thursday, August 27th. The morning sees some clouds, but the wind turns nicely cross-off from the north-northeast at 15 mph, and the swell pushes up to about 5 ft from the north. It's a short period of 7 seconds, but the combined energy hits 248—moderate but punchy. That’s your ticket. The afternoon holds at 5 ft, still clean with that cross-off wind.
Because it’s a reef break, those short-period waves will pitch hard and fast. This is for experts only. If the swell is over 5 ft on a reef like this, beginners are in danger.
After that one day, it’s back to poor conditions right through to Monday, August 31st.
So, the only real shot in this whole 16-day outlook is Thursday, August 27th. That morning is the cleanest, most energetic we’re going to get. The water temp is around 73°, which is a touch warmer than normal for the season.
Otherwise, it’s a whole lot of nothing. Save your energy for that Thursday.
Rusty.
