The Lowdown
Righto, mate. Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Spew Pits.
Spew Pits is a reef break, and it’s on the exposed side, meaning it needs a specific window to really fire. Looking through this sixteen-day run, it’s a tough stretch. The swell energy is bouncing around but it’s mostly weak to moderate at best, with the combined energy levels mostly sitting between 102 and 383 (moderate wave energy). The problem is the wind. For most of this period, it’s blowing cross or cross-off from the north, and at a good clip—often 15 to 22 mph. That’s a fresh breeze, and while it keeps things clean in terms of a cross-off, it’s not going to give you the kind of lined-up, groomed face you want on a reef. The water temp is 75°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
The truth is, the first solid pulse comes on Saturday, 14 September, with some groundswell pushing through. Monday morning the 14th has a tiny 2 ft of swell from the NNW with a long 13-second period, and the wind is light offshore from the west at 3 mph. That’s glassy, clean, and super long period, which for a reef like Spew Pits is a sweet spot. But it's small—only 2 ft. For an expert-only reef, that’s more of a wobbly session than a standout. Tuesday, 15 September, and Wednesday, 16 September, drop right off again, with tiny waves and very ordinary conditions. The combined energy falls below 100 (weak wave energy) on the 16th.
There is no single true standout here. The best window is likely the Sunday morning, 13 September, when you get 5 ft of N swell with a moderate 8-second period, and a cross-off breeze from the NNE at 12 mph. It’s not perfect, but it’s the biggest and cleanest combo in the whole period. The wave comment says “marginal surf forecast or questionable tide conditions,” so it’s not a guarantee—but compared to the rest of the run, that’s your best shot. Expect moderate crowds as the spot is listed as “sometimes” busy.
For the rest, there’s a long gap from the 15th of September right through to the 22nd where it’s mostly small, weak, and not worth paddling out for. The end of the period on the 25th of September shows a tiny bump, with 2 ft from the north, but a 22 mph cross-off wind will make it a battle just to get out. Honestly, for the next two weeks, the reef looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing when that wind picks up.
Stay patient, and keep an eye on the charts—forecasts can shift.

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.
