The Lowdown

Alright, folks, Rusty here, and I’ve got to level with you – this 16-day stretch for Spew Pits is a real slog. It’s a solid, consistent reef break that’s strictly for experts, wide open to the north-northwest, but the wind and swell just aren’t cooperating for most of it. The water’s sitting at 73°, which is about normal for the season, so nothing wild there.

The first few days are a total bust. From Tuesday August 4th all the way through Wednesday August 12th – that’s over a week of poor surf. The swell is small, mostly 2ft to 5ft, coming from the north and north-northeast, but the wind is a fresh breeze from the north-northeast or north, blowing cross-offshore or cross-shore. The waves stay clean enough, but the energy is weak to moderate (116 to 356), with a short period around 6 to 8 seconds. The water’s chopped up, and the scores are just not there. It’s a dead zone.

Thursday August 13th morning is the first tiny light. The wind eases to a moderate breeze from the north-northeast, still cross-off, and the swell is 4ft from the north, 7-second period, with moderate energy (248). The comment says “marginal surf forecast or questionable tide conditions,” so it’s a long shot, but at least it’s a shot. The afternoon, the wind cranks back up to 35 km/h, and it’s poor again.

Friday August 14th morning is similar – moderate breeze, cross-off, 5ft north swell, 8-second period, with energy climbing (341). Still, the “poor” label sticks. The afternoon is a cross-shore disaster.

Now, let’s get to the real standout. Saturday August 15th morning is the best we’ve got. We’re looking at a 6ft north swell, 8-second period, with strong wave energy (538). The wind is a moderate breeze from the north-northeast, cross-offshore, keeping the surface clean. The comment says “marginal surf forecast or questionable tide conditions,” but this is the most energy in the whole window, and for an expert reef like Spew Pits, that’s a full-on session. It’s still a gamble with the tide, but if you’re an expert, this is your moment. The afternoon is a cross-shore mess.

Sunday August 16th morning is another solid option. The wind drops to a gentle breeze from the north-northeast, cross-off, with a 5ft north swell, 8-second period, and moderate energy (323). The comment says “expect good surf conditions,” which is the best label we see. It’s clean, the swell is there, and crowds are only “sometimes” an issue, so you might get a quiet session. The afternoon, again, the cross-shore wind ruins it.

The week after is a mix of marginal and poor. Monday August 17th and Tuesday August 18th mornings have gentle breezes and clean conditions, but the swell energy drops (163 to 316), and the scores are low. Wednesday August 19th morning has a 6ft north swell, 8-second period, with moderate energy (392), but it’s just “marginal.”

The takeaway: if you’re an expert, aim for the mornings of Saturday August 15th and Sunday August 16th. That’s where the energy and clean wind come together. The rest is a waiting game. For beginners, don’t even think about it – the reef is expert-only, and the good swell never hits in a clean, manageable window. It’s a rough stretch, but that’s Spew Pits for you.

Rusty.

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.
