The Lowdown

Alright, grab your coffee, mates. Rusty here with a look at what’s on the cards for Spew Pits over the next couple of weeks. Before we get into it, the water’s sitting at 75°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – that 3° anomaly is a nice little bonus.

Honest truth? It’s a tough stretch. We’ve got a solid run of swell on the way, but the quality just isn’t lining up for a good paddle session. The wind is a persistent issue, mostly blowing cross or cross-off from the north and never really swinging fully offshore for any length of time. Most of the period is rated as poor surf conditions, so there are no standout days where everything clicks for a top-shelf surf.

We kick off on Wednesday the 19th with small 3ft swell from the north at a short 8 seconds. The morning is cross-shore with a bit of chop, and it gets lumpier in the afternoon with 15 mph winds. Not worth getting wet.

Thursday the 20th is much the same – 2ft to 3ft, short period, cross-off winds keeping it clean in the morning but the afternoon gets messy again. The swell combo energy is low, only reaching 175 (moderate at best).

Friday the 21st sees the swell nudge up to 4ft, but the period drops to a weak 7 seconds. The morning is clean with a cross-off 19 mph breeze, but that wind is howling. The combined energy (192) is still moderate, but the short period means it’s just a lot of bumpy, weak lines. This setup is more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing – the wind is strong and consistent, and the waves are choppy.

The weekend (22nd and 23rd) offers little relief. Saturday is cloudy with a similar story. Sunday the 23rd is the first time we see a period stretch to 10 seconds, which gives the 3ft swell a bit more shape and energy (219). The morning is clean with a cross-off NE breeze, and the model calls it “marginal surf forecast or questionable tide conditions”. That’s the closest we get to a window, but it’s still a far cry from good.

From Monday the 24th right through to the end of August and into the first week of September, the swell builds significantly. By Friday the 28th, we’re looking at 6ft swell from the north with combined energy hitting 493 (strong wave energy). But here’s the killer: the period stays short, mostly 7-9 seconds, and the wind remains a factor. This size of swell (over 5ft) is already getting too big for beginners, and with the short period and persistent cross-off winds, it’s going to be a washing machine out there. The swell direction is mostly N to NNE, which is exactly the optimum direction for Spew Pits, but the wind and short period ruin the party.

There are a couple of mornings around the 1st and 2nd of September where the period stretches back to 9-10 seconds and the swell is a clean 5ft to 5ft, with moderate cross-off winds. The combined energy (365-426) is solid and the conditions are clean, but the “poor” rating still applies. It’s a promise that might not deliver.

So, in short – if you’re desperate for a paddle, maybe Sunday the 23rd morning or one of those early September mornings might give you a half-decent fun session, but don’t expect perfection. The wind is the boss here, and it’s not playing nice. Stay patient.

Rusty.

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.

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.
