The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty again. Looking at the same window for Spew Pits. This reef is expert territory, it’s consistent, exposed, and wants that swell from the NNW. Water temp is about 78°F, nothing unusual for this time of year.
First week? Forget it. From Saturday the 12th, it’s nothing but trouble. Cross and cross-onshore wind at 15 to 25 mph, short period swell of 8 to 9 seconds, and the wave height is around 2 to 5 feet. The combined energy sits between 337 and 639, but the surf quality is poor with all that lumpy wind chop. You’ll get a glassy moment on Monday the 14th morning with a 2-foot, 13-second period swell from the NNW, but it’s too small to get excited about. Don’t waste your time that week.
There’s a dry spell of bad surf until Monday the 21st. That morning is glassy again with a 2-foot, 12-second period NNW swell, but it’s just ordinary. The real highlight is Tuesday the 22nd of September. Tuesday morning brings a 4-foot swell from the NNW, period of 13 seconds, with a light offshore breeze from the east at 9 mph, clean conditions, and the combined energy is strong at 506. This is the one to wait for. Perfect direction, nice power, and no wind messing it up. It’s still an expert reef, so don’t be a hero if you’re not ready. Tuesday morning is the session of the whole forecast.
After that, Wednesday the 23rd has a small 3-foot swell in the morning (11-second period) but the wind switches cross. The afternoon gets a clean offshore breeze at 15 mph from the east, but the waves are still small. From Thursday the 24th onward, it’s back to tiny, weak, cross-onshore junk under 2 feet.
Basically, the first week is a bust. The only day that’s worth burning petrol for is Tuesday the 22nd morning. Monday the 21st morning is a second choice if you can’t make Tuesday, but it’s noticeably smaller and less powerful.
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.
