The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here for the imperial rundown on Spew Pits.
Water’s sitting at 74°F, which is about average for this time of year, so no shock there.
The first few days are a bit of a dud – poor conditions with cross-off and cross winds blocking any real quality. The first real glimmer of hope comes on Sunday the 13th. The wind goes glassy in the afternoon, with a clean 4ft swell from the north. That’s the best you’ll find early on, but it’s not exactly firing.
The day to lock in is Monday the 21st of September. The swell from the NNW really kicks in, with a combined energy of 818 – that’s serious power. It’s a 17-second period groundswell, which is very long, so it’ll wrap around the reef perfectly. The swell height is 3ft, with a gentle cross-shore breeze. That’s the standout window. It’s a long way off, so keep an eye on it, but it’s the best bet.
That NNW direction is the sweet spot for this reef. It’s an expert-only wave, so don’t underestimate it. Crowds are a possibility, so plan for that.
The days after that, the 22nd and 23rd, still have some NNW swell, but the winds aren’t as clean and the periods drop off. It’ll be surfable, but nothing like that Monday.
Rusty.

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.
