The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get real. The next couple of weeks are a bit of a grind here at Spew Pits. Plenty of swell on the cards, but the wind keeps messing it up. You’ll be scratching your head a bit.
Right away on Tuesday the 11th, it’s flat-ish and weak. We got 0.5m to 1.0m of north swell, but that cross-offshore breeze is making it messy. Water’s sitting right on normal at 74°F, so a wetsuit is your call.
Wednesday the 12th isn’t any better, drop down to 0.5m with that same cross-off wind. The period’s short at 9 seconds, so there’s just no power. Afternoon gets more cross-shore and chopped up.
Thursday and Friday bring a little more size, bumping up to 1.1m to 1.3m, but the swell period is a sad 6-7 seconds. That means it’s gutless, short-period windswell. The wind is still cross-off, so the face is okay, but the waves themselves are just fat and slow. The energy reading climbs into the 200s, but it’s not doing us any favors given the wind.
Come the weekend, Saturday the 15th peaks at 1.5m, but again, that short 7-second period kills it. The wind’s cross-off, so it’s clean, but it’s not a quality wave. Sunday backs down to 1.0m, and we’re seeing clouds and more crosswind.
The new week starts and we’re still trapped in the same pattern. North swells, cross-shore winds. Tuesday morning the 18th is the only one flagged as “marginal,” but it’s still got cross-shore wind and the wave comment is poor. Not worth the early alarm. So many days with 1.0m to 1.3m of north swell, but the wind keeps it all lumpy and uninviting.
There’s no big winner here. The conditions are too consistent in their lack of quality for Spew Pits. We need the wind to swing offshore and stay there for a full day to get this place firing.
