Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
Well, I gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough watch. The whole 16-day window is a write-off for any decent surf. There’s not a single day where the conditions come together to give us something worth paddling out for. We’re looking at a long, blank stretch with no real recommendations on offer.
The only spot in the frame is Spew Pits, an expert-level reef break. The water temp is sitting around 71°, which is pretty much what you’d expect for this time of year – nothing unusual there. The swell energy is weak to moderate at best, with the highest reading hitting 270 (moderate energy) right at the very end on the 19th of July, but even then, the conditions are just poor.
From the 4th of July right through to the 19th, it’s a constant run of poor surf. The swell is tiny, mostly below 3ft, and when it does bump up to 5ft on the 19th, the wind is a messy cross or cross-off, and the period is short and weak. The energy values are mostly in the double digits or low triple digits, telling you there’s just no power behind it. The wind is nearly always a cross-shore breeze, with a lot of lumpy chop on the afternoons, making it look more like a kiteboarding session than a surf one.
The best the period offers is maybe the morning of the 19th of July. That’s the only time you see a 5ft swell from the N, with clean conditions and a moderate breeze. But even then, it’s a 8-second period, not the kind of groundswell that makes a reef like Spew Pits really sing. And with the crowds being "sometimes" an issue, it’s not worth the gamble.
Honestly, it’s a classic case of the forecast looking bleak for a while. But don’t lose hope – it tends not to stay this poor for long, and forecasts can change. For now, leave the boards in the car and save your energy.

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.
